^ Interior CAN
Two-way radio
The following sensors are read in via radio:
- Left front TPM wheel sensor (A69/1)
- Rear front TPM wheel sensor (A69/2)
- Left rear tire pressure monitor sensor (A69/3)
- Rear right tire pressure control wheel sensor (A69/4)
Interior CAN
The following signals are read in with interior CAN by the: by the instrument cluster (A1):
- Vehicle speed signal
From the driver-side SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1):
- Ambient temperature
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.
