Location 

The powertrain control unit is installed below the footwell trim in the front passenger footwell.

Task 

The powertrain control unit is responsible for the following tasks:

In addition to this, the powertrain control unit acts as an interface (gateway) between the connected CAN bus systems.

Reading in of sensors and signals 

Input factors are read in by means of the following connections:

Output of signals and actuation of components 

Initial parameter are output over the following connections:

IMPORTANT The electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) is the central interface (gateway) for exchanging the function-relevant data of the control units that are connected to the various CAN bus systems.

Input factors and output factors for the following components are read in or output over direct lines by the powertrain control unit:
