Audi A4: General Information - Multifunction Steering Wheel
The button is integrated in the steering wheel for easier
operation of infotainment, telephone and the navigation system.
On Tiptronic, rocker switches are also installed on the left and
right.
The Multifunction Steering Wheel Control Module -J453- (in
the right button) reads out the information and transfers them
over the LIN Bus to the Steering Column Electronics Control
Module -J527-. From the Steering Column Electronics Control
Module -J527-, the information is transferred to the individual
components via the CAN Bus (comfort) and the Data Bus On Board
Diagnostic Interface -J533-.
Fault finding is performed using the "Guided Fault Finding"
on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
