Installation position of the MCG
It must be ensured that the installation position does not deviate from the positions shown in the
diagram.
!
The ECU must be installed in the driver’s cabin behind a standard cladding. The preferred
installation location is underneath the instrument panel cover on the passenger side of the vehicle.
If it is not possible to find a suitable installation location, the unit must not be installed.
Before starting with the installation, read and comply with the following safety instructions.

Preparations
The WABCO Multifunctional CAN Gateway (MCG) is a CAN data gateway that transmits data from
the source data bus (e.g. vehicle data bus) to the target data bus without interferences.
!
The installation must be carried out by a trained vehicle electronics/mechatronics technician.
– Prior to installation, check if the source bus to be picked up complies with the
requirements in accordance with SAE J1939 standards with respect to:
maximum number of subscribers,
message format according to ISO 11898-2 and
termination.
That the source bus is fault-free, for example, must be determined by a measurement using a CAN
reading device. If this is not ensured, the gateway must not be installed.
