Connection of Control Units: K-Can

2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, Standard TransSECTION K-Can
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 49 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X6, 2011 BMW X6, 2010 BMW X6, and 2009 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The K-CAN connection of the Night Vision control unit serves to transmit the diagnosis and programming data and to read out the information from the RLS (brightness), the LM (driving lights on) and DSC (yaw rate, speed and steering angle). The signals from DSC are placed on the K-CAN via the SGM. In addition, the control unit receives information on the terminal status via the K-CAN.
