Task

The task of the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT is subdivided into the following projects:

General
Input and output signals

General

The driver gear range requirement "P, R, N, D" is not transmitted to the transmission via a rod (mechanical connection) by the control but by means of an electronic connection. This electronic connection consists of the DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch (S16/13) and the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT. The overall system is described as "DIRECT SELECT gearshift". The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT controls the main motor and the emergency motor.

The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT is flashable. The software of the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT can be updated.

Direct input signals

Circuit 30
Circuit 31
Power supply for emergency motor

The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT measures the position of the eccentric shaft via the eccentric shaft position sensor and the actual position of the range selector lever via the angle sensor.

The BAS release switch (A7/7s1) on Model 221 is replaced as of 2.6.09 and on model 216 as of 1.9.10 by the brake light switch (S9/1). With code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS and code (239) ART Plus Light, the BAS release switch is still used.

Control Area Network (data bus/CAN bus) (CAN) input signals

Function

The main motor (30) is actuated and the worm shaft (33) is turned via the drive gears (39) (up to 31.8.08) or via the drive belts (42) and the two drive pulleys (41) (as of 1.9.08). The slider (32) moves into the required position and the range selector lever (35) assumes the specified position.

The actual position is recorded by the angle sensor (36) and passed on to the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) via drive train CAN.

With "circuit 15 ON" the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT passes on the gear selector switch position transmitted by the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) to the gear indicator (A1p12). With "circuit 15 OFF" the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT passes on the gear selector switch position transmitted by the steering column tube module (N80) to the gear indicator.

With "Circuit 15 OFF" and the vehicle at a standstill, gear selector switch position "P" or "N" is engaged as soon as the transmitter key (A8/1) is pulled out of the EZS control unit.

For vehicles with code (889) Keyless Go the request of gear selector switch position "P", with "circuit 15 OFF" and the vehicle at a standstill, takes place as soon as the driver door is opened. If gear selector switch position "N" is engaged before "Circuit 15 OFF" and the driver door is opened after "Circuit 15 OFF", gear selector switch position "N" remains engaged.
