Workshop Hints
SHD Self Diagnosis
The SHD monitors operation and stores fault codes if a defect is determined. The SHD
monitors the following conditions:
• SHD motor relays:The relays are checked for sticking contacts (plausibility) and non
functional contacts.
• Hall effect position sensors:The SHD must detect a pulse frequency from the hall
effect sensor(s) during operation.
• Sunroof Switch: The SHD monitors the signal plausibility of the coded signaling from
the sunroof switch.
Sunroof Fault Response Characteristics
If a fault occurs with any of these functions, the SHD responds as follows:
• Overrides the end run detection.
• Switches the motor off if the relay contacts stick for more than 500 ms.
• Switches the motor off if pulses are not received.
Emergency Operation of the Sunroof
If the sunroof motor does not respond to the switch signals, the hex key in the trunk lid tool
kit is used to manually turn the motor shaft drive.

Interior Lighting
Purpose of the System
The GM controls the interior lighting automatical-
ly with the status change of several monitored
inputs. The lighting can also be manually con-
trolled using the interior light switch.
In addition to the various time controls, the inte-
rior lights are also subject to the 16 minute shut
down of the GM (consumer protection).
Principle of Operation
The interior light switch is a push button switch that will carry out the opposite command
of the current status of the lights. (ie: if the interior lights are currently on, pushing the but-
ton will switch the lights off.)
• If the interior lights are switched “ON” by the button with the ignition switched ON, the
interior lights will remain on until they are switched off by the button.
• If the interior lights are switched “ON” when the ignition is switched OFF, the lights will
remain on for 16 minutes (consumer cutout).
• Pressing the interior light button for longer than three seconds will switch the lights to
continuous off. This feature is intended for workshop use.
Pressing the button again will
return the lights to the normal operational status.
• Locking the vehicle from the outside will immediately switch off the interior lights.
The ON/OFF conditions for the interior lights in the automatic mode are as follows:
ON Conditions
• Door Open.
• Switching off ignition after exterior
lights have been switched off.
• MRS Control Module crash input.
• Unlocking with FZV or pressing FZV
lock button when the vehicle is
already locked (interior search fution).

Central Body Electronics ZKE III
OFF Conditions
• All doors closed with ignition on.
• All doors closed with ignition off after 20
seconds.
• 20 seconds after switching off ignition with
lights off.
• 8 seconds after remote control activation.
• 16 minutes with door(s) open.
• When doors are locked.

Fiber Optic Light Conductor Cable:The fiber optic cables carry the light to their respec-
tive light output modules at each exterior door handle.
Installation Note:The bending radius of the fiber optic cable should be less than 20mm
when installing.
Light Output Modules: The exterior door handle frames have an additional mount to
accept the light output module.
The light output modules carry the light from the conductor cables to the exterior door han-
dle recess as well as casting a soft exterior light on the outside floor area.
Principle of Operation
Lights ON:
The exterior visual entry aid lighting is activated “on” when the vehicle interior
lights are activated “on” automatically by the GM.
Lights OFF:
Immediately after KL 15 recognition (immediate off - no soft off function). Soft
off after a short delay once all doors are closed.
After a maximum of 20 seconds “on” time, the control module switches exterior visual entry
aid lighting off regardless of interior light status.

Seat/Mirror/Steering Column Memory
Purpose of the System
The front seats, outside rearview mirrors and steering column (if equipped) positions are
electrically adjustable. The “customized” adjustment positions can be memorized and
stored for three diferent users and recalled back to the individual positions (with the excep-
tion of the passenger seat - not in memory).
The basic features of seat/mirror/steering column operation, as well as the memory posi-
tions is integrated into the ZKE III system.
• Seat/Steering Column Memory
Module (PM SM).
• Driver’s Door Switchblock Mod-
ule (PM FT/SB - early E38 was
separate).
• Passenger’s Door Module (PM
BT - E53 combined with window
switch).
• General Module (GM III).
• 3 Position Memory Switch.
• Seat Switch.
• Steering Column Switch.
• Seat/Steering Column/Mirror
Motors.
The Seat/Steering Column Memory Module communicates with the DISplus or MoDiC for
diagnosis and Vehicle Memory encoding.

System Components
- with Principle of Operation
Manual Operation:The manual adjustments of the seat, mirrors and steering column are
carried out with the respective switches as with the previous systems.
The mirror adjustment switch is located in the driver’s switch block. The mirror operation
input is a digital signal that is processed by each respective module for mirror positioning.
Memory Storage: The parameters for storing memory positions are are as follows:
• With the transmission range
selector in “P” and the mirror
change over switched to the left,
switch the ignition on and press
the “M” on the memory switch.
• The memory indicator lamp swi-
tches on for 7 seconds.
• Press one of the three position
switches (1, 2 or 3) within the 7
second memory period.
• The current positions of the mir-
rors, seat and steering column
are stored for recall.
The positions of the mirrors are stored in the respective door
modules based on the position of the feedback potentiome-
ters. The positions of the seat and steering column are stored
in the seat module, based on the ripple count.
Recalling a memory position setting is possible by either
pressing and holding the recall switch (1, 2 or 3) with KL 15
“ON” or tapping the recall button (1, 2 or 3) with:
• The driver’s door open and KL 15 “OFF”.
• KL R ON and KL 15 “OFF”.
The recall movement can be interrupted at any time by touching any of the adjusting
switches.

Mirror
Principle of Operation
The output stages and memory storage of mirror positions is handled by the respective
door modules. The positioning of the mirrors is signaled from the driver’s door switch
block/module. The signal passes over the P-Bus to the passenger’s door module.
The memory/recall for the driver’s mirror comes directly into the door module from the
memory switch. The operation for the passenger’s side mirror is carried out over the P-Bus
from the driver’s door module to the passenger’s door module.
The memory positions are stored in each respective module. The memory position is rec-
ognized by the feedback potentiometers located on each mirror motor.
The reverse gear tilt feature for the passenger’s mirror is signaled from the GM, over the P-
bus, when reverse is selected and the mirror switch is set for the driver’s side.
Mirror heating is controlled by each respective door module. The GM receives the outside
temperature from the IKE and passes it to the door modules. The “ON” time for mirror heat-
ing is adjusted based on the outside temperature.
A pulsed heating cycle is used for the mirrors based on the outside temperature.

Driver’s Seat (E38/E39)
Principle of Operation
Each motor for seat adjustment contains a micro-processor (called a Ripple Counter) that
receives a digital signal from the seat control module for motor activation. The motors are
connected to KL 30 and KL 31 and respond to the signals generated by the seat module
when seat movement is requested. The seat adjustment switch provides ground input sig-
nals to the module when seat movement is desired. The module processes these input sig-
nals and sends output signals to the seat motor processors. The seat motor processors
activate the motors and the seat moves to the desired point.
The circuitry of the Ripple Counter detects the motor activation current. As the armature
segments of the motor rotate passed the brushes, the current flow rises and falls produc-
ing a ripple effect. The peaks of these ripples are counted and stored in the Ripple Counter
module. The memory function of the seat module uses this ripple count instead of feed-
back potentiometers to memorize and recall seat positions.
Ripple Count Recognition:
When the seat is installed and the
battery is connected, the ripple
counter uses the initial position of
the motors as the “Zero Position”.
Any movement from this point is
counted as “+” or “-” pulses as
the motors move in either direc-
tion.
The pulse position of the motors is stored in the seat module, in an EEPROM (of the PM-
SM), before the ZKE goes into its “Sleep Mode”.
This prevents the position recognition from being lost. If the battery is disconnected before
the 16 minute sleep mode activation, the memory positions of the seat will be lost and
reprogramming will be required.
Diagnosis: The PM-SM communicates with the DISplus or MoDiC. The PM-SM monitors
the seat motors and circuits as well as it's internal operation. Any detected faults are stored
in the PM-SM fault memory and are called up when diagnosing the system with the Fault
Symptom diagnostic plan. The PM-SM also provides status display to the DISplus of the
input and output control signals as well as component activation.

Passenger’s Seat (without memory)
Principle of Operation
The passenger seat control switch is purely a mechanical switching module that activates
the passenger seat motors without position monitoring capabilities. Due to the limited op-
eration requirements, the passenger seat control switch is not equipped with on board
diagnostics.
The Passenger Seat control switch is equipped with an overload protection function. If
excessive amperage is drawn due to a defective motor or a switch is stuck driving a motor
to the end limit, the function activates opening the motor control circuit.
Passenger Seat Motors: Each motor is individually controlled by the Seat Control Switch.
Each position motor is connected to the seat position switch by a two wire circuit provid-
ing motor activation in both directions (no position recognition).
Passenger Seat Adjustment: Operation of the passenger seat is always possible regard-
less of the ignition key position. Moving a position switch operates a the motor control con-
tacts directly, the switch applies voltage and ground path directly to operate the motor.
Reversing the switch simply changes the motor polarity. More than one passenger seat
motor can be run simultaneously.
Optional Seat Back Lumbar Support
The optional air bladder lumbar support system is similar in all
vehicles (if equipped). Each seat contains the following com-
ponents:
• Four position circular rocker switch in the seat base trim in
the area of the seat switches.
• Electrically controlled air compressor with over pressure cut
out under each seat.
• Two solenoid activated air controlling valve blocks (one per
air bladder). Each valve block includes an inlet and an outlet
valve. When energized they direct air into the bladder(s) to
inflate or relieve trapped air to deflate the bladders.
• Connecting hoses and air bladders in lower seat back.
63
Central Body Electronics ZKE III
Page 64 of 80
Principle of Operation
The lumbar support system can be operated at any time regardless of key position. The
four position circular rocker switch provides power switching to operate the system as fol-
lows:
• Position 1: The internal switch contacts provide a power and ground path for both valve
block inlet valves and the air compressor. Both bladders inflate until the switch is
released. If the switch is held continuously, an overpressure bypass valve opens on the
compressor preventing damage to the bladders.
• Position 2: Compressor activated, upper bladder inflates, lower bladder deflates.
• Position 3: Compressor activated, lower bladder inflates, upper bladder deflates.
• Position 4: Compressor is not activated. Upper and Lower bladders both deflate.
This function is not stored in memory for recall.
Diagnosis
The seat lumbar support system is purely electro-pneumatic control system. No electron-
ic diagnostic communication is possible.

Page 66 of 80
Principle of Operation
To activate this feature, the ignition must be in
the KL R or KL 15 and press the switch located
in the Center Console Switch Center (driver and/
or passenger front seat).
The switch provides a ground to the control
module and an LED in the switch will illuminate.
If there is a fault in the system the LED will not
illuminate.
The control module, fluid bladders (2 and 3) and
pump (1) is contained in each seat. The pump
contains a Hall sensor to monitor the number
motor revolutions and two pressure sensors to
monitor each bladder for vacuum (indicating
empty).
The fluid bladders (2 per seat) contain water-
glysantin mixture and are connected to the fluid
pump. The fluid bladders are equal in volume at
rest (15 mm. high) and will raise from 0 up 30
mm. when filled alternately from left to right.
Note: The pump unit and fluid bladders are replaced as a unit.
The control modules (one per seat) are connected to the P-Bus. The driver’s side control
module contains an acceleration sensor that monitors transverse acceleration of the vehi-
cle. Active Seat operation is temporarily interrupted during high acceleration.
Rear Power Seat (E38 750iL)
The rear seats in the 750iL provide electric adjustments for:
1. Backrest Angle - Control switch powers the motor.
2. Headrest Height - Control module behind each upper seat.
3. Lumbar Support
The headrest automatically extends when a passenger fastens
the safety belt and will automatically retract when the safety
belt is released. The power rear seat is a purely electric control
system. No electronic diagnostic communication is possible.
