/Central Locking and Anti-Theft
This section covers repair information for door, trunk and car-
go compartment locks, central locking, electronic
immob~liza-
tion (EWS) and anti-theft alarm (DWA).
€39 cars are equipped with sophisticated self-diagnostic elec-
trical systems. When experiencing malfunctions relating to
central locking. EWS or anti-theft systems, start the diagnosis
process using the
BMW service tester DIS, GT 1, MoDiC or
equivalent scan tool. An advanced diagnostic scan tool can
usually pinpoint electrical faults quickly and safely.
Additional electrical information can be found in:
610 Electrical Component Locations
ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams
Central locking in E39 vehicles controls the door
locks, trunk
or tailgate lock and fuel filler flap lock. The control module for
the Central Body Electronics system (ZKE
Ill), lknown as the
General Module (GM
Ill), controls central locking.
ZKE
Ill manages the following central locking related func-
tions:
Central locking
* Keyless entry
Key memory
Power trunk release
Electric opening of tailgate
DWA alarm system
Diagnosis
General Module
4 The General Module (GM) (arrow) is responsible for the op-
eration of central body electronics. The GM is located behind
the glove compartment.
Based on input information, the GM uses internal transistors
to switch current flow (providing voltage or ground) through
circuits and actuators. Actuators are the final controlling de-
vices used by GM to operate or control various output func-
tions such as relays and motors.
The accompanying schematic, Central locking inputs and
outputs, illustrates the GM central locking system.

I Central Locking and Anti-Theft
Driver's door lock
The
lock/unlock signals are sent as input to the door module
from two microswitches on the lockcylinder. The driver's door
module carries out the locking
/ unlocking functions of the
driver's door through its final stage control.
The signal to lock the remaining doors, trunk or tailgate and
fuel flap is sent over the P-Bus to the GM and the passenger
door module. Activation of the passengers door
loclt is carried
out by the passenger door module. The rear doors, trunlt or
tailgate and fuel flap are
locked by the f~nal stage in the GM.
When
locked from the outside, all doors are set to the double
lock position and the GM will not carry out any unlock com-
mands from the central
loclc button or remote trunk release
button.
Selective unlocking
When unlocking with the key or the remote transmitter, the
first unloclcrequestwill only unlock the driver'sdoor. A second
unlock request will unlock the remaining doors, trunk or tail-
gate and fuel flap.
Trunk locking
I
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked from the trunlc loclc cylin-
der. The GM locks the trunk or tailgate, rear doors and fuel fill-
er. The locking command is passed over the P-Bus to the
respective door modules to lock the driver's and passengers
doors.
Locking the trunk and removing the key in the
hor~zontal posi-
tion will set the valet lock and prevent opening of the trunlt
with the central locking system.
Central locking switch
-
< The central locking master control switch (arrow) is located
in the center console behind the shifter.
The central locking button will only single
loclt the doors
and trunk. The filler flap remains unloclted for refueling pur-
poses.
If a door is opened from inside while centrally locked, the
remaining doors remain locked.
The open door can be relocked, when closed, by manually
locking or pressing the central locking button twice. This
synchronizes the door
locks.

NOTE-
The Key Memory function of the GM responds to the ley
identification number of each key If the keys are not initial-
ized
in the same orderprior to initialization, the ley memory
functions activated by the
l(eys will not be assigned correctly.
Always initialize the keys
in the same order.
es momentarily.
Release both buttons. GM immediately locks and unlocits
doors to signal successful initialization.
Remote system coding
* Initialize remaining lteys, repeating steps above.
The E39 remote entry system uses coded signals for security
purposes. The code signal sent by the transmitter is changed
every time the vehicle is lockedlunlocked with the transmitter.
A separate code signal is used for each transmitter that is ini-
tialized to the system. This allows for each transmitterto oper-
ate independently of the others.
Due to the changing of the code each time the buttons are de-
pressed, the system allows for a
lacit of synchronization be-
tween the transmitter and receiver. This would occur
if the
buttons on the transmitter are pressed inadvertently.
Up to
100 erroneous actuations of the transmitter are auto-
matically corrected
forby the control module. If more than 100
actuations are present, the operator need only to press the
button a second time to restore system operation.

On-Board Diagnostics
Professional diagnostic scan tools available atthe time of this
printing include the BMW factory tools
(DISplus, GTI,
MoDiC) and a small number of aftermarket BMW-specific
tools. See
020 Maintenance.
In addition to the professional line of scan tools, inexpensive
generic OBD
II scan tool software programs and handheld
units are readily available. Though limited, they are
nonetheless powerful diagnostic tools. These tools read live
data streams and freeze frame data as well as a host of other
valuable diagnostic data.
Diagnostic monitors
Diagnostic monitors run tests and checks on specific
emission control systems, components, and functions.
A complete drive cycle is requiredforthe tests to bevalid. See
Drive cycle in this repair group. The diagnostic monitor
signals the
ECM of the loss or impairment of the signal or
component and determines if a signal or sensor is faulty
based on
3 conditions:
* Signal or component shorted to ground
Signal or component shorted to
B+
Signal or component missing (open circuit)
The OBD
II system monitors all emission control systems that
are installed. Emission control systems vary by vehicle model
and year. For example, a vehicle may not be equipped with
secondary air injection, so no secondary air readiness code
would be present.
OBD
II software monitors the following:
Oxygen sensors
Catalysts
Engine misfire
- Fuel tank evaporative control system
Secondary air injection Fuel system
Oxygen sensor monitoring. When driving conditions allow,
response rate and switching time of each oxygen sensor is
monitored. The oxygen sensor heater function is also
monitored. The OBD
II system differentiates between
precataylst and post-catalyst oxygen sensors and reads each
one individually. In order
forthe oxygen sensor to be
effectively monitored, the system must be in closed loop
operation.

OBD-6
On-Board Diagnostics
Fuel system monitoring. This monitor looks at the fuel
delivery needed (long
/short term fuel trim) for proper engine
operation based on programmed data. If too much or not
enough fuel is delivered over a predetermined time, a DTC is
set and the MIL illuminates.
Fuel trim refers to adiustments to base fuel schedule.
Lono- ., term fuel trim refers to gradual adjustments to the fuel
calibration adjustment as compared to short term fuel trim.
Long term fuel trim adjustments compensate for gradual
changes that occur over time.
Fuel system monitoring monitors the calculated injection time
(ti) in relation to enginespeed, load and precatalyticconverter
oxygen
sensor(s) signals.
Using this data, the system optimizes fuel delivery for all
engine operating conditions.
Evaporative system monitoring. This monitor checks the
the fuel storage system and related fuel lines for leaks. It can
detect very small leaks anywhere in the system.
A leak detection unit (LDP or DMTL) is used to pressurize the
evaporative control system on a continuous basis (as the
drive cycle allows) and to
check system integrity.
Drive cycle
The OED II drive cycle is an important concept in
understanding OBD
II requirements. The purpose of the drive
cycle is to run ail of the emission-related on-board diagnostics
over a broad range of driving conditions.
A drive cycle is considered complete when all of the
diagnostic monitors have run their tests without interruption.
~ora drive cycle to be initiated, the vehicle must be started
cold and brought up to
1 60°F and at least 40°F above its
original starting temperature.
Readiness codes
Inspection/maintenance (I/M) readiness codes are mandated
as part of OBD
II. The readiness code is stored aftercomplete
diagnostic monitoring of specified components and systems
is carried out. The readiness code function was designed to
prevent manipulating an
I/M emission test procedure by
clearing faults codes or disconnecting the ECM or battery.
