Location 

The electronic transmission control unit is located in the front of the front passenger footwell.

Task 

General 

The electronic transmission-control control unit determines the current operating condition of the vehicle and controls all the gear change sequences, taking into account the shift comfort and driving situation.

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

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

Input and output signals 

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

• Direct input signals 
• Direct output signals 
• CAN input signals 
• CAN output signals 

Direct input signals 

• Circuit 31
• Terminal 87
• Starter lockout contact (Y3/6s1)
• Transmission oil temperature sensor (Y3/6b1)
• Rotational speed of sun gear (rpm sensor 2 (Y3/6n2))
• RPM of the planetary spider (rpm sensor 3 (Y3/6n3))

Direct output signals 

• Modulating pressure control solenoid valve (Y3/6y1)
• Shift pressure control solenoid valve (Y3/6y2)
• 1-2 and 4-5 gearshift solenoid valve (Y3/6y3)
• 3-4 gearshift solenoid valve (Y3/6y4)
• 2-3 gearshift solenoid valve (Y3/6y5)
