Task 

General 

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

Diagnosis 

For diagnostic purposes, the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS) can be used to read out and delete the transmission control fault codes, and to actuate certain specific diagnostic functions.

CAN system 

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

Flash programming 

The transmission control in the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) is flashable, i.e. the complete software in the control unit can be changed (replaced) using the Diagnosis Assistance System. The software required for control unit programming can be found on the Star Diagnosis DAS Update DVD.
