Function of gear shift - GF27.60-P-2000GA

TRANSMISSION 722.6 in MODEL 163, 170, 202, 208, 210 with touch shift 

TRANSMISSION 722.6 in MODEL 203 up to 23.4.04, 215, 220, 240 (except 215.374 /379, 220.074 /174 /179) 

On transmission 722.6 the electrohydraulic control unit converts the electric signals going out from the electronic transmission control (EGS) into hydraulic signals.

Faults occurring in the ETC control unit (N15/3) are handled by the limp-home system. The limp-home system is designed so that the driver can reach a Service Operation even under extreme conditions.

Selector lever positions "P", "R", "N" and "D" are transmitted by the electronic selector lever module control unit (N15/5) on the Controller Area Network bus class C (engine compartment) (CAN-C) and in parallel to this by means of a shift rod to the range selector lever at the transmission end. By touching or holding the selector lever towards"+" or"-" the shift range is preselected and displayed in the instrument cluster (A1) until an upshift of transmission 722.6 is possible.
