Abbreviations of control units in diagnosis and programming

Control units are often designated using an abbreviation. The abbreviation usually also stands for the
system in which the control unit operates (e.g. the DSC control unit operates in the Dynamic Stability
Control system).

Some abbreviations are derived from the English meaning. Some abbreviations are based on the
German meaning. The long forms are mainly German designations. However, English designations or
marketing designations may also be used.

This section lists the control units that are referred to by abbreviations in diagnosis and programming.

The graphic shows the

Integrated Service
Technical Application
(ISTA).

Note: Previous abbreviations for control unit names

 2017-02-20 2/13

Since the start of series production of the E65 (electrical system 2000), the control unit designations
have been harmonised. Earlier model series have varying control unit designations. For technical
reasons associated with the system, these control units have not been renamed.

Reason: These control units appear in the brief test of the diagnosis system (vehicle electrical
system topology and control unit list).

The following table also lists the previous abbreviations for the corresponding current abbreviations
in the column "Definition". For example, the previous abbreviation SES (voice input system) is also
shown for SVS (voice processing system).

The following control unit abbreviations are currently used:
