CAN Communication

2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, Standard TransSECTION CAN Communication
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2007 MINI Cooper, 2006 MINI Cooper, 2005 MINI Cooper, 2004 MINI Cooper, and 2003 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The communication between EMS 2000 and GIU is by CAN. The EMS 2000 talks directly to the ECVT interface GIU via the CAN link. The GIU sends the EMS 2000 information on the following:

  • The current status of the park, reverse, neutral and drive switches.
  • The current status of the sport/manual switches.
  • The current status of the +/- switches (steering wheel buttons if fitted).
  • The current status of the +/- switches (selector lever).
  • Fault status of all active components.
  • The current status of the Park/neutral switch.

The EMS 2000 provides information for the transmission GIU via a CAN-bus. The EMS 2000 controls the position of the ratio control motor indirectly (by means of instructing the GIU to control the motor to a given position).

The EMS 2000 can interrogate the GIU for fault diagnostics and to request real time data and system performance checks when the vehicle is connected to DISplus.
