- Actuation of components
Reading in of signals
The input factors are read in via the following connections:
- Direct lines
- Chassis CAN 1 (CAN E1)
Direct lines
The following components are read in via direct lines:
- Circuit 30g (switched battery positive)
- Circuit 31
- Left rear level sensor (B22/7)
- Left front level sensor (B22/8)
- Right front level sensor (B22/9)
- Right rear level sensor (B22/10)
- AIRmatic pressure sensor (Y36b1)
Chassis CAN 1
The AIRMATIC control unit is a subscriber of chassis CAN 1 and receives signals from the following control units, for example:
- Lower control panel control unit (N72), via the center console switch LIN (LIN B12), the SAM control unit (N10), the interior CAN (CAN B) and the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) the status of the Comfort/Sport (ADS) button (N72s36) (except CODE 430 (On-road & off-road package)), the vehicle level button (N72s35) (except CODE 430 (On-road & off-road package)) or the vehicle level rotary switch (N72s39) (with code 430 (On-road & off-road package))
- Off-road control panel control unit (N72/3) (with code 430 (On-road & off-road package)), via the center console switch LIN, the SAM control unit, the interior CAN, the electronic ignition lock control unit, chassis CAN 1 and the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine) or CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) the status of the off-road package transmission mode control (N72/3s1) (with CODE 430 (On-road & off-road package))
Evaluation of input factors
The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the affected components are then actuated.
Actuation of components
Components are actuated with the following lines:
- Direct lines
- Chassis CAN 1
Direct lines
The following components are actuated via direct lines:
- AIRmatic pressure reduction valve (A9/1y1)
- AIRmatic relay (F58kT)
- Left front level control valve (Y36y1)
- Right front level control valve (Y36y2)
- Left rear level control valve (Y36y3)
- Right rear level control valve (Y36y4)
- AIRmatic central reservoir charge valve (Y36y5)
- Left front axle damping valve unit (Y51)
- Right front axle damping valve unit (Y52)
- Left rear axle damping valve unit (Y53)
- Right rear axle damping valve unit (Y54)
Chassis CAN 1
The AIRmatic control unit is a station on chassis CAN 1 and sends signals to, for example, the following control units:
- Instrument cluster (A1), via the electronic ignition lock control unit and chassis CAN 2 (CAN E2)
- Active roll stabilization control unit (N51/6)
