Task 

The tire pressure monitor (TPM) control unit receives the information from the tire pressure sensors via the following paths:

The tire pressure monitor (TPM) control unit is connected via LIN to the following components:

The front tire pressure sensors each send a data package via the front TPM decoder antenna (up to 31.12.2010) to the tire pressure monitor (TPM) control unit. On vehicles as of 1.1.2011, the front tire pressure sensors send their data packages directly by radio frequency to the receiver unit integrated in the tire pressure monitor (TPM) control unit. The data packages from the rear tire pressure sensors are sent via the rear tire pressure monitor decoder antenna to the tire pressure monitor (TPM) control unit. These data packages are required for assigning tire pressure sensors after system activation.

These include the following information:

The tire pressure monitor (TPM) control unit exchanges data via the interior CAN (CAN B) with the following control units:

The following information from other systems is processed here:

Electronic ignition switch control unit (EIS) 

From the steering angle sensor (N80b1), read in by the steering column tube module control unit, via the engine CAN (CAN C). The signal for the front axle steering angle is used together with the respective rear wheel acceleration values to assign the rear tire pressure sensors.

The following information is issued to other systems:
