Note
This self-study programme explains the design
and function of new developments.
The contents will not be updated.
For the latest testing, setting and repair
instructions, please refer to the relevant
workshop literature.
The networking technology, used until now only
in luxury class vehicles, will be a feature in com-
pact vans, such as the Volkswagen Touran.
The control units installed in this system also
manage tasks that were previously carried out by
relays and switches. In order that these tasks can
be fulfilled efficiently, the units have to exchange
a great deal of information (data) between each
other. Such a high rate of data transfer would
only be possible with a large number of cables if
standard means were used, such as wiring con-
nections.
To keep the number of wiring connections at a
manageable level, Volkswagen favours the use
of data bus connections on a wider scale.
This self-study programme is designed to help
you better understand the networking concept of
the Volkswagen Touran.
It covers the allocation of control units to the
various data bus systems, the fitting locations of
relay slots, fuses and control units. Furthermore,
it describes the various functions of and changes
to the diagnosis system.

Introduction
Fitting locations
The onboard power supply of the Touran is
decentralised. For this reason, the fuse boxes
and relay slots are installed at various locations
in the vehicle.

The networking concept
Overview of networked control units
In order that data can be transferred between
the control units, these are networked via various
data bus systems.
The data bus diagnosis interface J533 (gateway)
provides the interface for the data buses:
- Drive train CAN data bus
- Convenience CAN data bus
- Infotainment CAN data bus
- Dash panel insert CAN data bus
- Diagnosis CAN data bus

The LIN data bus as sub data bus
system
General description
A sub data bus system connects control units with
their electrical components. Among these com-
ponents are, for example, control units, switches,
sensors, actuators etc. This type of connection
and data transfer is used in the Volkswagen Tou-
ran for a number of systems.
As a sub data bus system, the LIN data bus has
an advantage in cost.
The designation LIN stands for local interconnect
network, and it means that all the associated
electrical components are within a set and
limited area of the vehicle.
It is possible for a number of LIN data bus
systems to be installed in a vehicle. They will each
have different functions to perform.
A LIN data bus system consists of a master con-
trol unit and one or more slave control units.
The master control unit is also networked with
other control units (apart from slave control units)
in the vehicle via the CAN data bus. This permits
the transfer of data to other LIN data bus
systems and other CAN data bus control units.

Data transfer
The data is transferred at a speed of 1 kbit/s to
20 kbit/s.
The rate of data transfer is therefore a maximum
of 20% of the rate for convenience or
infotainment CAN data buses and is fixed
in the software of the LIN master.
This transfer is made via data leads that are vio-
let in basic colour with a white identification
mark. The cross section of the wire is 0.35 mm
2
.
The LIN data bus is a single wire bus. The data
lead is not screened.
Signal level
The signal level of the LIN data buses is either
close to battery voltage (UB) (recessive level) or
earth (0 Volt) (dominant level).

Master control unit
The control unit connected via the CAN data bus
system performs the master functions
in the LIN data bus system.
Among these master functions are:
- Data conversion of LIN data bus messages to
the data format used by the CAN data buses,
if and when these messages are required.
- The control of data transfer in the
LIN data bus and monitoring of the data
transfer rate.
- The transfer of diagnosis data to the
LIN slave control unit.
The transfer of data between master and slave is
always initialised by the master. A slave is not
capable of communicating independently.

Slave control unit
The slave function could be taken on by control
units such as the multi-function steering wheel,
actuators such as the anti-theft alarm horn or
sensors such as the vehicle altitude sensor.
The electronics integrated in the slave control unit
evaluate the driver's input via the operating unit
buttons in the steering wheel, they convert the
input into digital information e.g. "radio louder"
and send it when required to the
master control unit via the LIN data bus.
The sensors also have electronics that transfer
the measured values digitally to the master
control unit.

The electrics box
Fitting location
The electrics box can be found on the left in the
engine compartment.
Description
All fuses and relays that safeguard or control
components in the engine compartment, are
housed in the electrics box (E box).
A wiring guide to the interior and back is there-
fore no longer necessary. Fault finding is simpli-
fied, safeguarding is adapted more effectively to
the consumers and multiple
assignment of fuses is largely avoided.

Description
Due to the high level of network functions, a
great deal of data is transferred. To assure the
effective exchange of data, several data bus
systems are necessary that transfer data between
each other.
The data bus diagnosis interface connects these
data buses together as a gateway interface and
makes data transfer possible. This function that
was perviously integrated in the dash panel
insert or onboard power supply control unit, is
now an independent control unit.

Master functions
Terminal 15 run-on
Certain control units in the CAN data bus need
to exchange information even when terminal 15
is off. For this reason, a message is sent to the
CAN data bus for actuation of the run-on mode.
The control units make a connection from termi-
nal 30 to terminal 15 internally, which allows
them to communicate further. In this way, the
power steering control unit J500, for example,
can communicate with the other control units.
The run-on mode can last between ten seconds
and fifteen minutes. The run-on period depends
on the data that is to be sent.
To finish the run-on period, the data bus diagno-
sis interface initiates the sleep command.

Sleep and wake-up modes of the
data bus systems
When all of the control units of the convenience
and infotainment CAN data bus have
announced their readiness for stand-by, a con-
trol unit will give the signal to 'sleep'. The voltage
level of the low signal is 12 V and 0 V for the
high signal.
Furthermore, it also gives the wake-up signal
when the data bus has to be activated, for
example, when the doors are unlocked.
The data bus diagnosis interface monitors the
sleep function.
If the drive train CAN data bus does not go into
sleep mode, the convenience and infotainment
CAN data buses do not go into sleep mode
either.
If the convenience CAN data bus does not go
into sleep mode, the infotainment CAN data bus
does not go into sleep mode either.

the alternator provides enough voltage.
- Interior light control
Terminal 30G, via which voltage is supplied to
the interior lights, is activated by the onboard
power supply control unit.
- Backlight
The backlight for the footwell is actuated by
the onboard power supply control unit via a
pulse width modulated signal depending on
the position of the dimmer switch for switches
and instruments.
- Terminal actuation
The onboard power supply control unit con-
trols terminal 75x via an X contact relief
relay.
Terminal 15 is actuated via the voltage supply
relay for term. 15 in the electrics box and on
the onboard power supply control unit relay
carrier.

cal fuel pump is supplied with power by the
onboard power supply control unit. As soon as
the engine has started, power is supplied by
the engine control unit.
- Alternator readiness
The alternator is made ready by the onboard
power supply control unit.
The onboard power supply control unit actuates and controls the following functions:
30
Electrical load management
The electrical load management assures that
there is always enough energy in the battery to
turn the engine over.
To enable this, the electrical consumers
of the convenience system are deactivated.
The standard of technical safety remains.
To switch off the consumers, the onboard power
supply control unit evaluates the engine speed,
the battery voltage and the alternator load via
the DF signal (dynamo field).
From this information and from information
about which consumers are switched on with
short activation periods, the onboard power sup-
ply control unit carries out an evaluation of the
onboard power supply load state.
Based on this evaluation, the onboard power
supply control unit can increase engine speed via
the engine control unit. The deactivation of con-
venience consumers is still possible in the same
way.
For load management, three different operating
modes are recognised.
Operating mode 1
Terminal 15 on and
alternator active
Measures:
At a battery voltage below 12.7 Volt, the onboard
power supply control unit demands an increase
in the engine idling speed.
At a battery voltage below 12.2 Volt, the follo-
wing consumers are switched off:
- Heated seats
- Heated windscreen
- Heated exterior mirrors
- Steering wheel heating
- Footwell lighting
- Inner door handle lights
- Reduction and deactivation of Climatronic
- Warning and deactivation of infotainment
Onboard power supply control unit
31
Operating mode 2
Terminal 15 on and
alternator inactive
Measures:
At a battery voltage below 12.2 Volt, the follo-
wing consumers are switched off:
- Reduction and deactivation of air conditioning
- Footwell lighting
- Inner door handle lights
- Entry/exit lights
- Leaving home
- Warning and deactivation of infotainment
Operating mode 3
Terminal 15 off and
alternator inactive
Measures:
At a battery voltage below 11.8 Volt, the following
consumers are switched off:
- Interior lights
- Footwell lighting
- Inner door handle lights
- Entry/exit lights
- Leaving home
- Infotainment, e.g. radio
When deactivation takes place, this will be shown in the dash panel insert. In addition, an entry
will be made in the onboard power supply control unit fault memory.
The differences in deactivation in the various operating modes is in the order of individual consumer
deactivation.
Furthermore, in operating mode 3, several consumers can be deactivation at once.
Deactivation is cancelled when the conditions for deactivation are no longer met.
32
Exterior light control
The onboard power supply control unit evaluates
the signals directly from the light switch. Informa-
tion about actuation of the turn signals, main
beam and headlight flashing is sent via the stee-
ring column electronics control unit J527 to the
convenience CAN data bus.

Monitoring of light switch positions
Light switch E1 is supplied with power directly
from the battery. Therefore, it sends a fixed plau-
sible signal in every position to the onboard
power supply control unit. By way of
independent signal input, the onboard power
supply control unit can detect whether ignition is
switched on or not. If the fixed plausible signal is
changed by a fault, such as an open circuit in the
wiring, it will change to implausible. The onboard
power supply control unit will switch to emer-
gency light control.

Example of light switch plausibility with ignition switched on
If the onboard power supply control unit detects a fault with the ignition switched on, the side lights and
the dipped beam lights are switched on.
In the case of all faults, an entry is made in the fault memory.
36
Bulb monitoring
Cold monitoring
The individual bulbs are supplied with a minimal
charge four times for 500 ms when the ignition is
switched on. This level of voltage enables the
onboard power supply control unit to detect
whether any of the bulbs are blown.
Warm monitoring
The actuation of the individual bulbs is via
semi-conductor components that are housed in
the onboard power supply control unit. They can
detect overloads, short circuits or open circuits.
Fault detection
With both types of monitoring, once a fault is
detected an entry is made in the fault memory
and a fault warning is also displayed in the dash
panel insert.
A new bulb will be detected by the monitoring
system once installed, the fault will be erased
and the display cancelled.

directly to the steering column electronics
control unit J527 and then via the convenience
CAN data bus to the onboard power supply
control unit J519.
Information about the selected wiper stage is
sent from the onboard power supply control unit
via the LIN data bus to the wiper motor control
unit J400 and from there to the wiper control
unit, front passenger side J584.
Both control units are located directly on the
wiper motors.
The wiper motor control unit J400 manages
control of the wiper motion and regulates the
wiper control unit, front passenger side J584.

Wiper functions
The wiper system features the following
functions:
- Service and winter position
- Alternating rest position
- Speed dependent wiper stage reset
- Speed dependent intermittent delay
- Bonnet contact
- Synchronisation function
- Tip wiping stage 2
- Prewash
- Follow up wash after wash/wipe function
- Trickle wipe
- Anti-blocking function
- Wiper control for rear window
Service and winter position
If within 10 seconds after switching off the igni-
tion, and with the vehicle stationary, the wiper
switch is switched to the tip wiping position, the
wipers move to the upper arc position.
This function cannot be selected when the bonnet
is open.
S307_026
Service and winter position
40
Alternating rest position
In order to prevent a permanent deformation
of the wiper blades, the wiper arms move
upwards slightly every second time they are swit-
ched off. In this way, the position of the wiper
blades is changed.
In addition, the rest position can also be altered
by switching the ignition off several times.
Speed dependent wiper stage reset
If the road speed drops below 4 km/h, the selec-
ted wiper speed will be reduced by one stage.
When road speeds increases above
8 km/h, the wiper speed is reset to the selected
stage.
Resetting:
Stage 2 to stage 1
- Terminal 15 on
- Wiper switch at stage 2
- Road speed < 4 km/h
Stage 1 to intermittent operation stage
- Terminal 15 on
- Wiper switch at stage 1
- Road speed < 4 km/h
(Intermittent delay 4 s)

Speed dependent intermittent delay
The speed of the four adjustable intermittent
phases is dependent on the road speed of the
vehicle.
The delays between the individual wiper move-
ments vary from 1.28 seconds in stage 1 at
approx. 150 km/h to 24 seconds in stage 4 at
approx. 4 km/h.
Bonnet contact switch F266
If when the vehicle is stationary the bonnet is
opened, the wiper motor control unit J400 swit-
ches the wipers off.
If the bonnet was not closed correctly and opens
at a speed of 2 km/h to 16 km/h, the wiper motor
control unit J400 switches the wipers off in the
same way.
The isolation function can be cancelled again by
operation of the wiper switch.
At speeds greater than 16 km/h, the isolation
function is not active.
The signal is sent from the bonnet contact switch
directly to the onboard power supply control unit
and is then sent on further via the LIN data bus
to the wiper motor control unit.

Synchronisation function
If the windscreen wipers are not in their rest posi-
tion when the ignition is switched off, these will
be moved automatically to the rest position when
the ignition is switched on and when the wiper
switch E4 is actuated.
This is either a parallel or individual movement.
A system with an unsynchronised rest position is
set straight with this procedure.
Tip wiping stage 2
If the tip wiping function is actuated for longer
than two seconds, the wiper is switched to the
second stage.

Prewash
When the wash/wipe function is actuated at
speeds less than 120 km/h, the wiper will begin
to operate after a prewash period of approx.
0.8 seconds, during which only the washer pump
is active.
Follow up wash after wash/wipe function
If the wash/wipe function is actuated for longer
than 0.5 seconds, the follow up wiping function is
actuated three times. If actuation time is less,
follow up wiping is actuated twice.
Trickle wiping
If the road speed of the vehicle is greater than
2 km/h, the wiper function is actuated once more
5 seconds after the last follow up wash
(follow up wiping cycle).
Anti-blocking function
The wiper system detects if the wipers are blok-
ked by the amount of current that is drawn.
If there is a blockage in area A, it will attempt to
remove this a total of five times. If it is unable to
move the blockage, the wipers will remain in the
rest position. The blockage will have to be remo-
ved manually.
If the wiper blades are frozen to the bottom part
of the windscreen, the wipers will attempt to
break free a total of five times. After the fifth
attempt, there will be no wiper motion.

Control unit
The immobiliser control unit J362 can be found in
the dash panel insert, as with immobilisers of the
third generation.
The diagnosis connection is made via address
word 25. Communication is only possible via the
diagnosis CAN data bus with vehicle diagnosis,
testing and information system VAS 5051.

Changes compared to the third generation
immobiliser
Brand identification
The immobiliser components of all Group brands
are different.
Adaption of components from other Group
brands in Volkswagen vehicles is not possible.
Preprogrammed key
The vehicle keys are preprogrammed by the
manufacturer with a basic code.
This basic code includes a specific manufacturer
code. Matching the key to a vehicle is only possi-
ble if it has the correct manufacturer code.

Immobiliser
Matching
Enabling the matching function is done via the
vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system
VAS 5051.
The personal identification number (PIN) for
matching is currently available via the dealer
online access system (HOLZ).
In future, matching will be carried out via an
online connection.
Exchanging the engine control unit
The engine control unit is enabled in the same
way as the third generation immobiliser.
Two of the three adapted components
(key and dash panel insert) must remain in the
vehicle.
For adaption of a new control unit, this can be
done without a personal identification number.
For adaption of a control unit that was previously
installed in a different vehicle, a personal identi-
fication number is required.
53
Exchanging the dash panel insert
Adaption is carried out in the same way as for
the third generation immobiliser.
Likewise, two of the three adapted components
(key and engine control unit) must remain in the
vehicle.
For adaption of a new dash panel insert, this can
be done without a personal identification umber.
A personal identification number is required for
a previously used dash panel insert.
Following exchange, the immobiliser control unit
J362 will detect an unknown key.
For this reason, there is a blocking period of five
minutes during which time the engine cannot be
started.
With the exchange of more than one
component, all three items must be
renewed as less than two of the mat-
ched components are left in the vehicle.
54
Personalisation
The user based settings for different unit
functions in the convenience and infotainment
system are made via an operating unit and a dis-
play.
Operation is via a control lever on the steering
wheel. Selection from the menu is made via the
display in the dash panel insert. The settings sel-
ected are stored in the control unit, which is
responsible for the control of each function.
Transfer of the necessary information between
the control unit with display unit in dash panel
insert and the other control units is managed by
the CAN data bus.

Diagnosis
The transfer of data necessary for diagnosis to
vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system
VAS 5051 or vehicle diagnosis and service infor-
mation system VAS 5052 is via the
diagnosis CAN data bus.
Data transfer to VAS 5051 is only possible
via diagnosis leads VAS 5051/5A or
VAS 5051/6A.
For vehicle diagnosis and service information
system 5052, diagnosis lead VAS 5052/3 should
be used.
These diagnosis leads are suitable for the trans-
fer of data via the diagnosis CAN data bus.
The COM lead used until now is still required for
diagnosis of the engine and gearbox control
units in OBD mode. Therefore, diagnosis with
other diagnosis leads is only possible in the
engine control unit and automatic gearbox con-
trol unit.
