In the direct shift transmission, the gear is changed
by the mechatronics. The mechatronics consist of
a control unit and an electrohydraulic control unit.
The integrated hydraulic pump is electrically driven
and provides an operating pressure of 70 bar. As a
result of the increased power required by the hydraulic pump, a fuse must be used that is designed
for a high continuous load.
A 30 A fuse is installed ex works for the power supply to the mechatronics. In individual cases, it is
possible that an incorrectly dimensioned 15 A fuse
may have been installed, which could cause a range of malfunctions on the direct shift transmission.
The following error memory entries may have been
stored in the transmission control unit:

In the event of malfunctions on the direct shift transmission, first

check whether a functioning 30 A fuse has been installed for the power supply to the mechatronics. The precise installation location of the
fuse depends on the vehicle and can only be located using the current
flow diagram or the on-board literature. Faulty or incorrectly dimensioned fuses must be replaced.
A 30 A fuse is essential for the direct shift transmission to operate
without any malfunctions.
Observe the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer!
