Location 

The fully integrated transmission control unit is integrated in the fully integrated transmission control controller unit which is located in the oil pan at the bottom of the transmission.

Task 

General 

With its own independent diagnosis system the fully integrated transmission control unit determines the current operating condition of the vehicle and controls all gear change sequences taking into account shift comfort and the driving situation.

Flash programming 

The transmission control system in the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) is flash programmable i.e. the complete software in the control unit can be exchanged (replaced). The software required for control unit programming can be found on the STAR DIAGNOSIS update DVD.

Controller Area Network (data bus/CAN bus) (CAN) 

The fully integrated transmission control unit is connected via the drive train CAN (CAN C) to the vehicle's CAN network, and exchanges data with other control units.

IMPORTANT The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) serves as the interface between the drive train CAN and chassis CAN (CAN E).

Input and output signals 

The following input signals are evaluated by the fully integrated transmission control unit and the appropriate output signals are generated:

Direct input signals 

Direct output signals 

CAN input signals
