The mechatronic system (electronic module and hydraulic unit) has various solenoid valves and electronic pressure control valves.
Functional description, see BMW Technology:
TIS -> Document -> SI Technology -> SBT Number
The solenoid valves are 3/2-way valves, i.e. valves with 3 connections and 2 switch positions.
The EDS convert electric current into a proportional hydraulic pressure and thus activate hydraulic valves with their corresponding switch elements.
Three types of EDS are fitted:
If the Mechatronic has to be replaced in the course of repairs, it must be labeled as a replacement Mechatronic using the service function ”Mechatronic calibration”.
After replacement of the entire transmission, the service function does not have to be run, as the transmission is already fully calibrated on delivery.
In all cases, it is advisable to delete stored adaptation values.
