    Company = Proprietary = "Your hand scanner cannot scan it"
    Comfort = Heating and Cooling control (front seat temp, back seat temp)
    Bus

    The CAN Comfort/Infotainment Data Bus (100 Kbit/s) Control Unit has:

    - Fully automatic air conditioning / air conditioning control unit -Door control unit - Comfort Control Unit - radio and navigation display unit control unit

    That implies two separate buses. If the air conditioning control shorts
    out, the Airbag still works (in the sense that when the car probes the airbag, it finds it "ready to fire").

    We use our imagination on automobiles, because we don't expect
    documentation.

    Thanks for the usual comprehensive explanation.

    The main very helpful point is that any fault showing on the Comfort Bus
    is unlikely to be associated with the fuel rail pressure, which helps a
    lot.

    It is also unlikely to be mission critical.

    Cheers
