Key-P Function - GF27.10-P-3028ANF

Transmission 725.0 in model 166 

Key-P function requirements, general 

Key-P, general 

The designation "Key-P" comprises all the functions, which in addition to the parking brake, help to secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away unintentionally.

To check the function requirements, the fully integrated transmission control unit (Y3/8n4) reads in the following signals:

IMPORTANT The vehicle speed is calculated using the wheel speed signals.

IMPORTANT If the transmitter key is turned to position "0" (circuit 15 C) and removed while the vehicle is driving or rolling, the automatic transmission is automatically shifted to gear range "N". As a result, the vehicle can roll "freely".

Key-P function sequence 

The function sequence is described in the following steps:

Function sequence for park pawl (except CODE 889 (KEYLESS-GO) or CODE 893 (KEYLESS-GO start function)) 

The park pawl only permits shifting out of position "P" if the transmitter key is turned to position "circuit 15 ON" and the brake pedal is depressed. The fully integrated transmission control unit receives the command to engage the park pawl from the DIRECT SELECT lever (S16/13) via the steering column tube module control unit (N80), chassis CAN 1, CDI control unit or ME-SFI [ME] control unit and the drive train CAN.

The vehicle is secured mechanically by blocking the park pawl gear in the automatic transmission.

Function sequence for park pawl (with CODE 889 (KEYLESS-GO) or CODE 893 (KEYLESS-GO start function)) 

On vehicles with CODE 889 (KEYLESS-GO) or CODE 893 (KEYLESS-GO start function), a shift is made to gear range "P" when the driver door is opened by the driver after parking the vehicle. The left front door control unit (N69/1) sends the status of the left front door safety catch microswitch (A85s1) over interior CAN (CAN B), electronic ignition lock control unit, chassis CAN 1, CDI control unit or ME-SFI [ME] control unit and the drive train CAN to the fully integrated transmission control unit.

Function sequence for selector lever position "P" lock 

A gear range change from the "P" position cannot be executed if the following conditions are fulfilled:

IMPORTANT The enable signal from the drive authorization system is sent from the electronic ignition lock control unit via chassis CAN 1, the CDI control unit or ME-SFI [ME] control unit and the drive train CAN.
