The fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit is integrated into the electric controller unit (VGS).

Component Identification:

Task
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.

It receives operating data as internal transmission input signals from the:
^ Selection range sensor (VGS)
^ Transmission oil temperature sensor (VGS) (Y3/8s2), which is integrated into the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit
^ Turbine speed sensor (VGS)
^ Internal speed sensor (VGS)
^ Output speed sensor (VGS)

In addition via the Controller Area Network bus class C (engine compartment) (CAN-C) there is a connection to the:
^ Instrument cluster
^ Intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT
^ CDI control unit (N3/9) (with engine 642)
^ ME-SFI [ME] control unit (except engine 642)
^ ESP control unit
^ Upper control panel control unit
^ EIS [EZS] control unit
^ Steering column module
^ Central gateway control unit

The fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit actuates the following control solenoid valves depending on the processed input signals:
^ Working pressure control solenoid valve (VGS), for load-dependent and gear-specific operating-pressure control
^ K1 clutch control solenoid valve (VGS)
^ K2 clutch control solenoid valve (VGS)
^ K3 clutch control solenoid valve (VGS)
^ B1 brake control solenoid valve (VGS)
^ Brake control solenoid valve B2 (VGS), which also actuates the BR multi-disk brake for reverse gear
^ B3 brake control solenoid valve (VGS)
^ Torque converter lockup clutch control solenoid valve (VGS)

This involves the processing of the following data from other systems:
Intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT
^ Actual position of range selector lever

CDI control unit (with engine 642)
^ Start-off in 1st gear, aids engine warm-up
^ Shift line displacement, aids engine warm-up
^ Specified gear, lower and upper limit, aids engine warm-up
^ Shift line displacement, dependent on load condition of diesel particulate filter (DPF), a heavily loaded DPF results in slightly lower upshift speed for full-load and kick-down upshifts
^ Engine coolant temperature, used as substitute value in event of malfunction in transmission oil temperature sensor (VGS)
^ Engine oil temperature, shift limitation is canceled
^ Emergency operation of the common rail diesel injection, the pedal value is limited to approx. 20 %, the driveability of the vehicle is assured
^ Requirement torque for Electronic Stability Program (Electronic-Stability-Program) (ESP), torque reduction or torque increase taking into account directional stability and road adhesion
^ Kickdown
^ Request "Torque converter lockup clutch OPEN", in the warm-up phase of the engine, increase in engine speed
^ Engine idle specified speed for the actuation of the torque converter lockup clutch
^ Engine-speed limitation function active, adaptations are deactivated in the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit
^ Engine speed, for slip calculation of torque converter lockup clutch and for start of pressure calculation by fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit
^ Pedal value
^ Engine torque

ME-SFI [ME] control unit (except engine 642)
^ Active downshift for heating up the catalytic converter (TWC)
^ Shift curve offset for heating up the catalytic converter
^ Specified gear, and lower/upper limit for heating up the catalytic converter
^ Emergency operation of the ME fuel injection and ignition system (motor electronics) (ME), the pedal value is limited to approx. 20 %, the driveability of the vehicle is assured
^ Engine coolant temperature, used as substitute value in event of malfunction in transmission oil temperature sensor (VGS)
^ Engine-speed limitation function active, adaptations are deactivated in the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit
^ Starting off in 1st gear to heat up the catalytic converter
^ Engine oil temperature, shift limitation is canceled
^ Selected torque ESP, torque reduction or increase taking directional stability and road adhesion into account
^ Kickdown
^ Pedal value
^ Request "Torque converter lockup clutch Open", in the heating up phase of the catalytic converter, to increase engine speed
^ Engine idle specified speed for the actuation of the torque converter lockup clutch
^ Engine speed, for slip calculation of torque converter lockup clutch and for start of pressure calculation by fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit
^ Engine torque

ESP control unit
^ Signal from BAS release switch (A7/7s1), change of shift strategy, brake the vehicle, the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) shifts down earlier
^ Set brake torque, change of shift strategy, brake the vehicle, the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) shifts down earlier
^ Wheel speeds and direction of rotation, substitute values in event of malfunction of output speed sensor (VGS)
^ ESP request shift into "N" (neutral), power flow interruption, transmission/rear axle
^ Vehicle lateral acceleration at center of gravity, adaptation of shift strategy, detection of dynamic driving style
^ Cruise control controls, a special shifting strategy for cruise control mode is filed in the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit

Upper control panel control unit
