GF27.60-P-5165AHM Fully Integrated Transmission Control Unit, Component Description



GF27.60-P-5165AHM Fully integrated transmission control unit, component description
- TRANSMISSION 722.904/906/999
- refinement package
- as of model year 09


Component Identification:





Location
The fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) is integrated in the electric controller unit (VGS), which is located at the bottom in the transmission.

Task

General
The fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit determines the instantaneous operating condition of the vehicle and actuates all gear change sequences taking ease of shifting and driving situation into consideration.

Flash programming
The transmission control system in the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) is flash programmable i.e. the complete software in the control unit can be replaced (installed new). The software required to program the control units is stored on the STAR DIAGNOSIS DAS Update DVD.

CAN data bus
The fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) is connected to the CAN system of the vehicle via the engine compartment CAN (CAN-C) and exchanges data with other control units.

Input and output signals
The following input signals are evaluated by the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) and the appropriate output signals are generated:

^ Direct input signals
^ Direct output signals
^ CAN input signals
^ CAN output signals

Direct input signals
- Tml. 31
