Task 

The task of the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT is subdivided into the following subtasks:

General 

The driver's drive stage requirement "P, R, N, D" is not transmitted from the control to the transmission via a rod (mechanical connection) but by means of an electronic connection ("Wire"). This electronic connection consists of the DIRECT SELECT lever (S16/13) and the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT. The overall system is called "Shift-by-wire". The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT controls the main motor and the emergency motor.

Input and output signals 

Signal inputs and outputs 

Direct input signals 

IMPORTANT The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT measures the position of the eccentric shaft via the eccentric shaft position sensor and the actual position of the range selector lever via the angle sensor. Chassis CAN (CAN E) input signals

For vehicles up to facelift 13 

Drive train CAN (CAN C) input signals 

Chassis CAN output signals 

For vehicles up to facelift 13 

Drive train CAN output signals 

IMPORTANT As of facelift 13 the current chassis CAN will be replaced by chassis CAN 1 (CAN E1). An additional chassis CAN 2 (CAN E2) is used between the instrument cluster (CAN A1) and the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) or the CDI control unit (N3/9) is the interface between the drive train CAN and the chassis CAN 1. The interface between chassis CAN 1 and chassis CAN 2 is formed by the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module.

Function 

The main motor is actuated and the worm shaft is turned via the drive belt and the two drive pulleys. The carriage moves to the required position and the range selector lever assumes the specified position selected.

The actual position is detected by the angle sensor and sent via the drive train CAN to the fully integrated transmission control unit.

IMPORTANT With "Circuit 15 ON", the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT transmits the selector lever position sent by the fully integrated transmission control unit to the gear indicator (A1p12). With "circuit 15 OFF" the intelligent servo module sends the selector lever position transmitted from the steering column tube module control unit (N80) to the gear indicator.

With "circuit 15 OFF" and vehicle standstill, selector lever position "P or N" is engaged, as soon as the transmitter key (A8/1) is removed from the electronic ignition lock 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.
