       | Selector lever in position M | On/Off | SLM | TCM | TCM goes to M-mode | 
      
       | Ignition key may be removed | On/Off | SLM | CIM | Used by CIM as one of the criteria for allowing the key to be removed. Lever must be in P. | 
      
       | Brake lights active | On/Off | REC | SLM | Used by SLM to release the interlock solenoid for the gear selector lever. | 
      
       | Instrument lighting, rheostat value | % | MIU | SLM | Used by SLM to increase or reduce brightness in gear selector coulisse | 
      
       | Atmospheric pressure | kPa | ECM | TCM | Used by TCM to go into high altitude shifting program due to reduced engine power | 
      
       | Vehicle speed | km/h | ECM | TCM | Used as reference speed value | 
      
       | Brake pedal, switch active | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Used by TCM for torque limitation, max 200 Nm, and engine brake | 
      
       | Prevent shifting, request | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Used by TCM to avoid changing gear e.g. during ESP modulation | 
      
       | Accelerator pedal, kickdown | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Used by TCM when kick down requested | 
      
       | Accelerator pedal position | % | ECM | TCM | Used by TCM (together with output shaft speed) to determine shifting points. If this information is incorrect, the transmission will go into limp-home mode | 
      
       | Coolant temperature | Degrees C | ECM | TCM | Used by TCM for WUSP, Warm Up Shift Pattern. | 
      
       | Engine, limp home | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Informs TCM that the engine has gone into limp-home mode | 
      
       | Engine warm-up cycle (OBD) ready | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Warm-up cycles are used for TCM fault handling. After 40 cycles, a fault code will be cleared if the fault has been rectified and Check Engine is not on for this fault | 
      
       | Engine braking, fuel cut active | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Used by TCM to control Slipping Lock-Up | 
      
       | Engine braking, Slipping Lock-Up. | Permitted/Not Permitted | ECM | TCM | ECM synchronises Lock-Up with fuel cut during engine braking to prevent jarring | 
      
       | Engine torque, current | Nm | ECM | TCM | The value controls SLT requested pressure so that it does not exceed what is presently required by a friction element. | 
      
       | Engine torque, driver request | Nm | ECM | TCM | The value, together with output shaft speed, controls shifting points | 
      
       | Engine speed | rpm | ECM | TCM | Used to modulate torque converter slip | 
      
       | Transmission, emission-related fault active | On/Off | TCM | ECM | ECM turns on Check Engine | 
      
       | Shifting pattern to prevent engine jolting, request | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Request from ECM to TCM that TCM should select shifting program to prevent engine jolting | 
      
       | Shifting pattern for catalyst ignition, request | On/Off | ECM | TCM | Request that TCM should select special shifting program for faster catalyst ignition | 
      
       | Vehicle speed | km/h | ECM | SLM | If the speed exceeds 12 km/h, SLM will activate the interlock solenoid for the gear selector lever, which is then not locked in N. | 
      
       | Brake pedal, switch active | On/Off | ECM | SLM | Informs SLM that the foot brake is applied, which is the criterion for SLM to release the interlock solenoid for the gear selector lever. | 
      
       | Key position, ignition switch | Lock, Off, On, Start | CIM | TCM | The message wakes TCM (+15) and also informs it that the engine is being started (+50) | 
      
       | Sentronic, gear change request | None, Up, Down | CIM | TCM | The steering wheel buttons are connected to CIM. When the gear selector is in position M, TCM will use the value to change gear manually. | 
      
       | Immobiliser, transponder OK | On/Off | CIM | SLM | SLM does not release the interlock solenoid for the gear selector lever unless the transponder is approved. | 
      
       | Key position, ignition switch | Lock, Off, On, Start | CIM | SLM | SLM is awoken via bus |
