Notes on MOST Bus

The optical Data bus "MOST Bus" is used in addition to the CAN bus.

The connection to the other data bus systems in the vehicle are provided by the data bus on board diagnostic interface (J533).

A fiber optic cable is utilized as the "connecting cable". Fiber optic cables are routed inside corrugated tubes for protection.

Replace complete fiber optic cable if possible.

Make sure that the face surfaces of the connectors do not become soiled.

If the connectors are disconnected: Attach protective cap for cable connector (VAS 6223/9).






When installing fiber optic cables, make sure not to go below the minimum bending radius of 25 mm. Do not crush or kink fiber optic cables.
