Abstract
To significantly reduce the use of single signal lines using a simplest possible contacting and connecting technique, a control system is described, in which the electrical shifting elements located in the passenger compartment are connected via signal lines to an electronic control unit, which is located in the passenger compartment and linked to the data bus, and which combines the signals transmitted over the signal lines and routes them via the data bus to the transmission control. The outlay for the wiring harness is again greatly reduced, with the data bus now also being routed into the passenger compartment, enabling additional devices to be connected thereto. Accordingly, the control system can be easily expanded.
