Climate control LIN
The signals of the following sensors are read in via climate control LIN:
- Dew point sensor (B11/12) (up to 31.5.10)
- Emissions sensor (B31)
- Vehicle interior humidity/temperature sensor (B82) (as of 1.12.09)
- Signals of the rear automatic air conditioning operating unit (N22/4)
Interior CAN
The following signals, e.g. are read in over the interior CAN:
- Vehicle speed (from instrument cluster (A1))
- Status of voice control system (VCS [SBS]) (from radio with auto pilot system (A2/56) (with code (511) Audio 50 APS with DVD changer) or from the COMAND controller unit (A40/3) (with code (512) COMAND APS with DVD changer) or with code (527) COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation))
- Position of panoramic sliding sunroof (from panoramic sliding sunroof control module (A98) (with code (413) Panoramic glass sunroof with top sliding sunroof)
- Coolant temperature (from CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) or from ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine)
- Refrigerant pressure (from front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1))
- Outside temperature (from front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module)
- Engine speed (from CDI control unit (with diesel engine) or ME-SFI [ME] control unit (with gasoline engine))
- Interior temperature (from overhead control panel control unit (N70) (with code (414) Power glass tilting/sliding roof))
- Circuit 15 status (from electronic ignition lock control unit (N73))
Evaluation of input factors
The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the relevant components are then actuated.
Actuation of components
Components are actuated with the following lines:
- Direct line
- Climate control LIN
- Interior CAN
