General Information

MG 4 uses a rotary gear selector.

Neutral corresponds to the central rest postion, Reverse is selected by an anticlockwise twist, Drive by clockwise rotation of the gear knob.

Park is selected by pressing the gear knob.

Selected gear is communicated by CAN.

The unit incorporates three LEDs across the top of the unit which correspond to Reverse, Neutral and Drive.

The knob itself lights up in Yellow when Park is selected.

Part Numbers

SAIC Motor Shift-by-wire : 11357121

Pinout and Connector

The shifter uses a 12 way connector, of which only 5 pins are connected.

Required plug is:

Molex 347290122 : https://www.molex.com/en-us/products/part-detail/0347290122

When viewed from the rear of the unit, Pin1 is top-left, Pin12 is bottom right.

12-Pin Pinout
Pin OEM Wire Colour Function
1 Black/Yellow 12V
5 Pink/White 12V WakeupEnable
7 Yellow/Blue PT-CAN Ext High
8 Green/Yellow PT-CAN Ext Low
12 Black GND

Operation

On poweron, the selector will start in the PARK position, and this will be communicated in message 0x09D

To enable shifting three messages must be sent to the shifter, repeated at 50ms, CanIds: 0x047, 0x12a, 0x2b6 as described below.

Stopping sending the 0x47 message will cause the shifter to enter into PARK position and prevent a gear being selected.

Restarting 0x47 messages will re-enable the shifter and allow a gear to be selecte.

CAN Bus

The Powertrain CAN Bus has a baud rate of 500kBaud.

Most messages have a standard CRC-8-SAE J1850. (polynomial 0x1D)

CAN Messages are sent every 50ms.

Observed data is described below.

The Gear selection is communicated over CAN, and can be decoded as follows.

POS1 is sufficent to indicate the selected gear.

Selected Gear POS1 POS2
DRIVE 05 0A
NEUTRAL 06 09
REVERSE 07 08
PARK 08 07
