Task 

General 

The gear selected by the driver "P, R, N, D" is not transferred via a rod (mechanical connection) from the control to the transmission but over an electronic connection ("wire"). This electronic connection consists of the DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch (S16/13) and the intelligent servo module. The overall system is called "Shift-by-wire".

Basic functions 

The intelligent servo module receives the signals from the angle sensor which records the actual position of the range selector lever and eccentric shaft. The intelligent servo module controls the main motor and the emergency motor.

Flash programming 

The intelligent servo module is flashable, i.e. the complete software in the control unit can be changed (replaced) using the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).

The software required for control unit programming can be found on the Star Diagnosis DAS Update DVD.

CAN data bus 

The intelligent servo module is connected to the CAN network of the vehicle via the drive train CAN (CAN C) and exchanges data with other control units.

Input and output signals 

The intelligent servo module evaluates the following input signals and outputs the appropriate output signals:

Direct input signals 

Direct output signals 

CAN input signals 

Front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) 

Regenerative braking system control unit (N30/6) 

EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) 

Fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) (Y3/8n4) 

CAN output signals 

Fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) (Y3/8n4) 

Instrument cluster (A1)

Function 

The main motor is actuated and the drive gears induce the threaded spindle to rotate. The carriage moves to the required position and the range selector lever assumes the specified position selected. The actual position is recorded by the angle sensor and passed on to fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) via the drive train CAN.

IMPORTANT With "Circuit 15 ON" the intelligent servo module supplies the selector lever position transmitted by the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) to the gear indicator (A1p12). With "Circuit 15 OFF", the intelligent servo module transfers the selector lever position transmitted by the steering column tube module (N80) to the gear indicator.

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

On vehicles with code (889) Keyless Go, the request for selector lever position "P", with "circuit 15 OFF" and the vehicle at a standstill is made as soon as the driver door is opened.

If selector lever position "N" is engaged before "Circuit 15 OFF" and the driver door is opened after "Circuit 15 OFF", selector lever position "N" remains engaged.
