Module Configuration

Module Configuration

Principles of Operation

All configurable modules are packaged in a kit which contains a warning label and a multi-language sheet re-emphasizing the requirements to configure replacement modules.

Replacement configurable modules must be configured using WDS.

Market Configuration

This data is required so that modules can interact with the vehicle correctly. By using WDS this data will be retrieved in the following ways:

• Indirectly from a mirrored image of the old modules data stored in an ‘As is’ database on DCS
• Indirectly from information stored in WDS

Configuration

The complexity of the electronics involved with module configuration and the multiplex communication network which they are connected to preclude the use of general workshop electrical test equipment.

WDS contains detailed instructions on module configuration.

Install the new module(s) and download the ‘As is’ data using the vehicle configuration software on WDS.

WDS will permanently retain the configuration information

Customer Configuration

There are certain modules / functions that the customer may or may not want reconfigured or enabled. Some of these preferences are accessed through the ‘in-car’ menus, available on the infotainment centre. Others are set in the vehicle configuration or specific software files, these items can be toggled or configured by WDS.

The ‘As is’ database (AML) holds customer original preferences. When a new module is installed to a previously upgraded or reconfigured vehicle these preferences can retrieved and re-applied as required through WDS

Data Buses

The primary data required for control and operation is carried on CAN data buses.

Two Can buses are used:

• High Speed CAN bus operates at 500 k bits / sec and is primarily used to transmit powertrain data
• The Powertrain (high speed) CAN bus operates at 500 k bits / sec and is only used to link the two PCMs
• Low Speed CAN bus operates at 125 k bits / sec and is used to transmit data relevant to the body system.

For data bus circuits - (Refer to ‘Circuit Diagrams’, page 18-1-17).

Network Bus

MOST

The MOST network bus is a fibre optical network used only for the Infotainment System
