Automatically controlled
starting
The automatic start control is integrated into
the engine control unit.
A new feature is that starter control is no
longer implemented by way of the ignition/
starter switch D (switching of terminal 50),
but rather it is performed automatically by
the engine control unit.
Release for starter actuation is always
transmitted by the entry and start
authorisation control unit J518 to the engine
control unit J623.
In addition to general release by the
immobilizer, the following start release
conditions also have to be satisfied:
– Start signal from entry and start
authorisation switch E415 or entry and
start authorisation button E408
– Clutch pedal pressed, signal from clutch
pedal switch F194 (manual gearbox only)
– Selector lever position P or N (automatic
gearbox control unit J217)
– In the event of start signal via entry and
start authorisation button E408, brake
must be pressed (signal from brake light
switch F via separate interface)
As a safeguard, P/N signal or signal from
clutch pedal switch F194 must be applied
to the separate interfaces of the two
control units (J623 and J518).
Additional safeguard, as entry and start
authorisation button E408 can be
actuated by front passenger.

Engine, Mechanics
Sequence of operations
1 Entry and start authorisation switch E415/entry and start authorisation button E408
2 Entry and start authorisation control unit J518
The entry and start authorisation control
unit checks for authorisation – in the form
of information on selector slide position N
or P – from the automatic gearbox control
unit J217 and for brake application in the
case of a start signal from the entry and
start authorisation button E408.
3 Engine control unit J623 Application of selector slide position P/N or
"clutch pressed" information to the engine
control unit (separate interface) causes the
two starter relays J53 and J695 to be
actuated simultaneously. The relays then
switch terminal 50 for starter actuation.
The starter operates and cranks the engine.
On exceeding a defined engine speed, the
engine control unit J623 recognises that
the engine has started and the relays are
deenergised (thus terminating starting
process).
As a safeguard, two relays are connected in
series. In the event of fusion welding of the
make contacts (relay remains closed
following deenergisation), the engine
control unit J623 can thus interrupt the
circuit (terminal 50) by way of the other
relay in each case.
The two relays are deenergised alternately
in order to ensure even make contact wear
(break spark) in both relays. The
deenergisation sequence alternates. The driver triggers a brief start signal
(min. 20 ms) by turning the ignition key to
start position or by pressing the entry and
start authorisation button E408.
If the start prerequisites have been
satisfied, the entry and start authorisation
control unit J518 transmits a start request
– terminal 50 ON – to the engine control
unit J623.
The entry and start authorisation control unit J518 also controls the terminal 15 and
terminal 75x circuits.
Relay operation is monitored and faults diagnosed by evaluating the alternating
deenergisation with the aid of the terminal
50R interface.
The terminal 50R interface represents a link
with terminal 50 and provides the engine
control unit J623 with feedback for start
control/diagnosis.
Automatically controlled starting is not
permitted in the event of undervoltage or a
system fault.
The engine can however be started
manually by way of corresponding start
signal actuation.
To relieve the load on the starter and
battery, the relay actuation time is
limited to approx. 10 seconds per starting
operation (automatic or manual starting).

The following functions are provided by the
electric parking brake:
– Parking brake function
– Emergency braking function
– Holding function when driving off on a hill
– Brake pad wear indicator
Electric parking brake
The brake pads are applied by way of a
spindle mechanism.
Gear unit and motor are flanged to the brake
caliper.
Implementation of the parking brake function
involves translating the rotation of the drive
motor into a very short brake piston stroke.
This is achieved through the use of a swash
plate mechanism in combination with the
spindle mechanism.
The emergency braking function is initiated
via the parking brake button and transmitted
to all four wheels by the brake hydraulics.
Design and operation of the electric
parking brake are described in SSP 285.

Driver convenience is further enhanced, as
fewer accelerator and brake pedal operations
are required. Speed restrictions and safety
factors are reliably observed and the flow of
traffic thus better regulated.
ACC (Adaptive Cruise
Control)
Adaptive Cruise Control is a new system
designed to assist drivers and offers a much
wider range of functions than the
conventional Tempomat.
Running Gear
If the distance is less than desired, the vehicle is
decelerated by reducing power, changing gear
and if necessary applying the brakes.
In the interests of comfort, maximum possible
braking is restricted to approx. 25 % of the
maximum deceleration potential of the brake
system (full braking).
The control action is designed to assist the
driver and thus contributes to greater road
safety.
In certain traffic situations, active braking by the
driver may still be necessary. Summary of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The basic Adaptive Cruise Control function is
to maintain a driver-selectable distance from
the vehicle in front. ACC thus represents the
logical next step on from the original cruise
control system.
The distance from and speed of the vehicle in
front are determined by a radar sensor. If the
distance is greater than desired, the vehicle is
accelerated until the required speed input by
the driver is achieved.

Bus topology
Electrical System
The increasing demand for additional
functions and convenience in the vehicle calls
for the use of ever more wide ranging
electronics.
The increased use of electronics also requires
a new approach to data transfer between the
individual control units. This also applies to
the Audi A8 ´03, in which more than 70 control
units have to communicate.
