Signal Specification, Keyless Vehicle Module (KVM)

General

All values given below are between the terminals stated in column 1 and terminal #B4 (power ground). This applies unless otherwise indicated in brackets.

NOTE:

It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground terminals before taking readings.

U=	DC voltage in volts (V)
U_bat =	Battery voltage (V)
U_low =	Voltage approximately 0 V
