|
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
|

|
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
|

|
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.
|

|
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.
|
