BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Diagnostic socket
RHD illustrated
The BCU has a serial connection to the diagnostic socket to allow unit interrogation using TestBook.
In addition to fault diagnosis, the BCU can be programmed with the following information:
lPlip codes.
lOptions.
lVIN code.
lEKA code.
lEEPROM locking.
The following manufacturing details are programmed into the BCU which can be accessed using TestBook:
lDate of manufacture.
lHardware version number.
lUnit serial number.
lOdometer reading.
It is not possible to use the diagnostic bus to communicate with the BCU via TestBook when the security system is
active (except for passive immobilisation). This is a security measure to ensure that no key programming or market
configuration can take place if the operator is not in possession of a valid remote transmitter or the vehicle keys.
The BCU is normally programmed to accept two remote transmitters, but a further two remote handsets can be
programmed into the BCU and one optional Self Levelling Suspension (SLS) transmitter. All remote transmitters need
to be available if TestBook is to be used to re-configure the BCU.

+ ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Central Door Locking (CDL)
The BCU carries out the logic control operation for CDL. A CDL switch is mounted on the fascia panel and has two
inputs to the BCU, one for lock and one for unlock.
Door locking and unlocking can be performed using the remote transmitter in the keys and the receiver unit located
above the vehicle's headlining, behind the rear sunroof aperture. The receiver detects the signals sent from the
remote transmitter and sends a decoded signal to the BCU for processing.
Four methods of door locking are available:
lRemote handset locking.
lVehicle key locking.
lCDL switch locking.
lSpeed related locking.
Two security levels of door locking are available, CDL and Superlocking. The anti-theft alarm system works in
conjunction with the CDL system.
Electric windows and sunroof
The BCU controls the logical operations and the timing periods for the electric front windows. The rear windows are
hard-wired and the two electric sunroofs are controlled by a dedicated ECU which is enabled by the BCU.
The front windows are electrically operated using two rocker switches located in the centre console. Electric motors
are located in each of the front doors.
The rear windows are enabled by the IDM controlling the operation of the rear window relay located in the passenger
compartment fuse box.
Wipers and washers
The wiper and washer functions are controlled by the BCU and the IDM.
The front wipers and washers are operated from the switch stalk located on the right hand side of the steering column
and only operate when the ignition switch is in position I or II. The front wipers are operated by a motor located below
the windscreen plenum.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-17
Ignition key interlock (where fitted)
On automatic gearbox models, the ignition key interlock solenoid prevents removal of the ignition key from the ignition
switch when the transmission gear selector is not in the Park position. The logic control operation for this is performed
by the BCU.
Transfer box interlock (where fitted)
On automatic gearbox models, a transfer box interlock solenoid is controlled by the IDM to prevent transfer box shift
lever being moved out of high or low range unless certain conditions have been satisfied. The IDM controls the
operation of the transfer box relay which is located in the passenger compartment fuse box.

+ TRANSFER BOX - LT230SE, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Gear position switch
A gear position switch is located on the automatic gearbox and is used to inform the BCU of the gear selector lever
position. The BCU has four sensing inputs from the gear position switch contacts W, X, Y, Z, which are used to
determine the gearbox drive status at any particular instance. The BCU gives an output corresponding to the gearbox
status derived from the gear position switch inputs. The logic states defining the gear selector positions are listed in
the table below, where Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4 represent intermediate states which exist as the selector lever position is
changed:
The existence of an intermediate state causes a fault code to be detected by the BCU. To reduce the chances of the
fault condition occurring while changing selector lever position, the inputs are debounced and only considered valid
when they have existed for at least 33 ms.
Transmission neutral selector
The transmission neutral sensor provides an earth signal to the BCU when the transfer box is in neutral. The earth
signal causes the BCU to operate an audible warning when the transfer box is in neutral with the ignition switched on.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Self levelling suspension and ABS
The BCU communicates with the SLABS ECU for several functions:
lAn output is provided from the SLABS ECU to the BCU to provide the logic conditions for issuing the SLS audible
warning.
lThe BCU receives an input from the SLABS ECU relating to the raise/ lower command from the remote handset.

+ REAR SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - SLS.
Hill descent control
The BCU provides an output signal to the SLABS ECU for automatic transmission in neutral for HDC control. The
BCU checks the status of the ignition and 'gearbox state' inputs and provides a 'Neutral selected' output. If the ignition
is on and 'gearbox state' is Neutral, the 'Neutral selected' output is on, otherwise 'Neutral selected' is off.

+ BRAKES, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Heated screens
The Heated Front Screen (HFS) is fitted for some market destinations and is operated from a non-latching switch
located on the instrument pack cowl. The BCU will only allow the heated front screen to operate when the engine is
running and controls the time-out period for switching the circuit off.
The heated front screen operation can also be controlled from the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) ECU on
vehicles fitted with air conditioning.
The heated rear window will only function when the engine is running, and is operated by a non-latching switch on the
instrument pack cowl. The heated rear window can also be operated by the ATC ECU on vehicles fitted with air
conditioning.
Interior courtesy lamps
The BCU controls the operation of the interior courtesy lamps. The courtesy lamps are situated in the front, mid and
rear areas of the headlining.
Fuel flap actuator
The BCU provides an earth path to the fuel flap release solenoid to allow the fuel filler flap to be opened. This is only
allowed if the alarm system is not set and all other conditions have been satisfied. The fuel flap release switch is
located in the fascia switch pack and it receives a voltage supply from the passenger compartment fuse box.
Audible warnings
The BCU can request the instrument pack to generate an audible warning in response to conditions it has detected
and which need to be drawn to the driver's attention. One of six different audible warnings can be requested by the
BCU.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-19
Operation
For IDM inputs which are also inputs for BCU functions, the delay before the BCU recognises the change in input
status is less than 250 ms. The BCU uses a debounce algorithm to ignore changes in input having a duration less
than 100 ms with the exception of automatic gearbox W, X, Y, Z inputs, which have a debounce period of 33 ms.
Transit mode
To prevent excessive battery drain during transit to overseas markets, the vehicle is placed in a transit mode.
To exit the transit mode, simultaneously hold down the heated rear window switch and the rear fog lamp switch, turn
the ignition switch from 0 to II and, after a minimum of 2 seconds, release the switches.
Transit mode can be entered using TestBook. When TestBook communicates with the BCU for diagnostics related to
BCU operation, it first checks that the vehicle is not in transit mode.
Anti-theft system
The BCU uses the driver's door key lock and unlock switches to activate and deactivate the security system. The
driver's door lock is also used for entering the EKA.

+ ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Immobilisation
For immobilisation, the BCU disables the starter motor relay. When the engine is cranking, the ECM looks for a coded
signal from the BCU. If the signal is not received within one second of cranking, the fuel supply to the engine is
stopped and the injectors are disabled. This also prevents unburnt fuel from entering the catalyst.
If the BCU is disconnected, the engine starter motor will remain isolated by the starter motor relay and the ECM will
remain immobilised. The main wiring for the system is contained within the main harness which is relatively
inaccessible, so preventing intruders from disabling the system by cutting the wires for the immobilisation system.
Once the immobiliser has been activated, destruction of the trigger device or the wiring to it will not disarm the system.
The RF transmitter communicates to the BCU via the RF receiver using a 70 bit code. Pressing the unlock button on
the transmitter will re-mobilise the vehicle. The RF transponder is integrated into the metal key assembly, inserting
the key into the ignition switch will induce a signal in the exciter coil to re-mobilise the vehicle.
Anti-theft alarm
The alarm system provides a warning of unauthorised access to the vehicle and includes perimetric and volumetric
monitoring under the control of the BCU.
The perimetric protection system detects opening of all doors, tail door and bonnet and will also detect the operation
of the ignition key switch. The following conditions must be satisfied before the BCU will operate all of the functions
of perimetric protection:
lAll doors and hinged panels are in the closed position.
lIgnition key out of the ignition switch.
lInertia switch is not tripped.
If all conditions are not satisfied the BCU will enter a mislock condition.
The volumetric sensor uses two ultrasonic sensors mounted in the headlining to detect movement within the vehicle.
The alarm will trigger when the sensor signals the BCU for 200 ms or greater. Within a single setting period the alarm
system will allow a maximum of 10 triggers as a result of any combination of sensor inputs. It is possible to lock the
vehicle without enabling the volumetric alarm by using the key. The same conditions needed to satisfy enabling of the
perimetric protection system is also needed to enable volumetric protection.
