Vehicle Speed Signal (VSS), checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
The vehicle speed signal is generated by the 
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) -G68 (on the 
transmission) and is processed in the 
instrument cluster. 
     The processed signal goes to terminal 54 on 
the engine control module and is used for Idle 
Air Control (IAC) and for the damping of load 
change jolts when changing gear. 
     
- Start engine.

Data exchange between Engine/ABS/ 
Transmission control module, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
The data exchange between the various control 
modules is carried out via a bus system. 
     The term "Bus" refers to a system for 
transmitting and distributing data. 
     The wires which connect the control modules 
and convey the data between them are called 
data wires. 
     Data is transmitted via data wires in serial, i.e. 
in a specific order to the connected control 
modules.

When indicated on display:  
-  Check indications in display fields 1 through 4.
   CAN capable control modules connected to the Engine Control Module 
(ECM) are indicated: 
 
No indication (display field empty): Control module not CAN-
capable 
 Indication 1: CAN capable control module is connected to databus
 Indication 0: CAN capable control module is not connected to

Example:  
Note:  
Display group 125 indicates all systems that communicate with the Engine 
Control Module (ECM) via the CAN-bus. (In this example, the ABS control 
module and the instrument cluster). If these systems are not installed, the 
display fields in display group 125 that are intended for them will be 
empty. Display field 1 will indicate "Transmission 1" and display field 4 will 
indicate "A/C 1" if these systems are communicated with the Engine 
Control Module (ECM) via the CAN-bus.
