Reference

For further information about the tiptronic

signal and tiptronic switch F189, please refer

to SSP 291 (page 50 onwards).

The selector mechanism has the same basic

functions as that on the Audi A3‘04, having

only a different signal waveform.

tiptronic signal

The information selector lever in tiptronic gate,

selector lever in Tip+ position or selector lever in

Tip– position is transferred via a discrete line

(see DSO images) to the gearbox control unit in the

form of a frequency-modulated square-wave signal

(FMR signal).

Advantages of this new feature:

– Higher operational reliability - only one line to

the control unit is required (instead of three),

thereby reducing the number of potential

sources of fault.

– Improved self-diagnosis
