The Touran Electrical system
Design and function
The networking technology, used until now only in luxury class vehicles, will be a feature in compact 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 connections.
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
Fuse boxes and relay slots in vehicle's electrical system
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 adjacent diagram shows the various fitting locations.

Introduction
The networking concept
Overview of networked control units |
|
In order that data can be transferred between |
T16 |
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

In addition to the CAN data bus,
a number of electric components are networked via the LIN data bus.
The data protocols have been changed. Therefore, these control units cannot be exchanged with those of other vehicle models e.g. Touareg or Phaeton.

Control units in drive train CAN data bus
Control units and fitting locations
The adjacent diagram shows the control
units that belong to the drive train CAN data bus and associated fitting locations.
The data is transferred at a speed of 500 kbit/s. Transfer is made via the orange/black

Introduction
The control units in the dash panel insert CAN data bus and in the diagnosis CAN data bus
The dash panel insert CAN data bus and the diagnosis CAN data bus are new data bus connections in the Volkswagen Touran.
Dash panel insert CAN data bus
The data bus transfers data from the
dash panel insert to the data bus diagnosis interface. The control unit with display unit in the dash panel insert and the data bus diagnosis interface are the only control
units attached to this data bus.
Diagnosis CAN data bus
Data transfer between the diagnosis connection T16 and the data bus diagnosis interface is via the diagnosis CAN data bus.
Rate of data transfer
The rate at which data is transferred is 500 kbit/s for both CAN data buses.

LIN 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 components are, for example, control units, switches, sensors, actuators etc. This type of connection and data transfer is used in the Volkswagen Touran 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 control 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 violet in basic colour with a white identification mark. The cross section of the wire is 0.35 mm2. 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).

LIN data bus
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.
