MODULAR WIRING ROUTING VERSIONS

There are two versions of modular wiring routing

1. «>>MODULAR LIGHT<<»(/audi/tt/8j-2006-2010/remont/seats/#seat-frames-roadster__modular-light)
2. «>>MODULAR<<»(/audi/tt/8j-2006-2010/remont/seats/#seat-frames-roadster__modular) .

>>MODULAR LIGHT<<

A characteristic of the >>Modular Light<< versions is that only the side airbag wiring harness leads directly to the connector station in the vehicle floor. There is no additional connector (intermediate coupling) present in the side airbag wiring harness.

All other electrical or electronic components, for example, seat occupied recognition, electrically adjustable headrests, seat and backrest heating, electrical backrest adjustment, etc., have an additional connector (intermediate coupling) -1-, -2-, -3- on the underside of the seat pan upper frame.

Scheme 334

4 - Clip

All wiring harnesses are routed in a two-part corrugated pipe in the seat/connector station area.

>>MODULAR<<

A characteristic of >>Modular<< wiring routing is that all wiring harnesses for electrical or electronic components, for example, side airbag, seat occupied recognition, bladder system, electrically adjustable headrests, seat and backrest heating, electrical backrest adjustment, etc., lead directly to the connector station in the vehicle floor. There are no additional connectors (intermediate couplings) in the electrical or electronic component wiring harnesses.

All wiring harnesses are routed in a two-part corrugated pipe in the seat/connector station area.

MODULAR WIRE ROUTING WITH RIDGED TUBE ON FRONT SEAT

General Information

With the introduction of modular wiring routing (Modular Light or Modular), the complete sheathing of the entire wiring harness with a fabric strap between the seat tray and the connectors to the connector station has been eliminated. A two-shell corrugated pipe in which the individual wires are routed separately has been implemented for this purpose.

Opening Corrugated Pipe and Removing Individual Wire

When bundling and placing individual wires in corrugated pipe, ensure wires are not twisted.

Note. Note installation position of two-part corrugated pipe to wiring harness and position of cable bracket to corrugated pipe.

The beginning of the corrugated pipe -4- should be placed immediately after the clip -2- or cable tie.

Scheme 338

3 - Wiring harness to the connector station

Ensure two-part corrugated pipe -4- locks cleanly over entire length.
