Terminating resistors

The installation locations are listed below for the purposes of measuring the terminating resistor values.

> R56 

• F CAN 
  • Vehicles with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

    1 resistor is in the DSC control unit

    1 resistor is in the DSC sensor (under the front-passenger seat)

• PT-CAN 
  • 1 resistor is in the SZL control unit in the version with steering angle sensor (SZL: steering column switch cluster)

    1 resistor is in the EPS control unit (EPS: electro-mechanical power steering)

  > E60, E61, E63, E64 

• F CAN 
  • Vehicles with AS  (Active Steering)

    1 resistor is in the cumulative steering-angle sensor in the steering box.

    1 resistor is in the DSC sensor (under the front passenger seat).

  • Vehicles without AS  (Active Steering)

    1 resistor is in the DSC control unit (DSC: Dynamic Stability Control

    1 resistor is in the DSC sensor 2 (under the front-passenger seat; DSC sensor 1 is under the driver's seat).

• PT-CAN 
  • 1 resistor is in the DSC control unit (DSC: dynamic stability control)
  • 1 resistor is in the SGM control unit (safety and gateway module)

From 09/2005, this resistor is in the KGM control unit (body-gateway module)

E65, E66 

• PT-CAN 
  • 1 resistor is in the wiring harness at the front on the right spring strut dome.

    This resistor can be disconnected from the PT-CAN.

  • 1 resistor is in the wiring harness under the back seat.

  This resistor cannot be disconnected.

  > E70 

  • F CAN 
    • 1 resistor is in the SZL control unit (SZL: steering column switch cluster)
    • 1 resistor is in the DSC control unit (DSC: Dynamic Stability Control)
  • FlexRay 

  If the vehicle is equipped with option 2VA "Adaptive Drive", the 4 damper satellites are connected to the VDM control unit via the FlexRay data bus.

  This option (special equipment) comprises 2 systems: Vertical dynamics management (VDM) and active roll stabilization (ARS: sales designation "Dynamic Drive").

  A damper satellite is fitted to each shock absorber.

  • Vehicles with "Adaptive Drive"

  1 resistor in each damper satellite of the vertical dynamic management system (VDM)

  • PT-CAN 
  • 1 resistor is in the DSC control unit (DSC: Dynamic Stability Control)
  • 1 resistor is in the EMF control unit (EMF: electromagnetic parking brake)

  > E81, E87, E90, E91, E92, E93 

  • F CAN
