Power Distribution
The power distribution box for the
E38 is incorporated in the Electr-
onics box in the engine compart-
ment.
The power distribution box for the
E39 and E53 is inside the vehicle.
The main fuse box is located
inside the glove box above a
hinged panel.
A “pull out” fuse designation card
is also located in the fusebox. This
notes:
• Fuse value in amps
• Location
• Circuit listing by fuse
The placement of the power distribution box is
close to the main electronics carrier behind
the glove box. The modules/relays located in
the electronics carrier include (examples):
• General Module III (GM III)
• Drive away protection (EWS II)
• Anti-lock Brake (ABS/ASC+T)
• Light Check Module (LCM) - behind right kick
panel
• Overload protection relay module
An auxiliary fuse block is located in the trunk
above the battery. In addition to fuses, the
auxiliary fuse block also contains relays (exam-
ples):
• Fuel filler flap lock motor relay
• Fuel pump relay (some vehicles)
• Rear defroster relay
• Unloader relay

Rear Window Wiper/Washer System (E39 Sport Wagon and E53): The system is
included in the scope of ZKE however is not controlled directly by the GM. The control elec-
tronics are integrated into the rear wiper motor assembly. The control electronics contains
two hall sensors, one for monitoring park position and other for the end stop, or to signal
reverse direction of the wiper motor. The control electronics are connected to the vehicle
electrical system via a single seven pin connector.
The rear wiper system is operator controlled
through the wiper stalk switch providing the fol-
lowing functions:
• Intermittent rear window wiping
• Programmed rear window wiping interval
• Operation of the rear window washer
Pressing the wiper stalk forward to the first detent activates the rear wiper in the intermit-
tent mode
. The timed interval is approximately 7-12 seconds. The full sweep and park posi-
tions are recognized by the two hall sensors on the motor gear assembly. If the wiper is
switched OFF, the wiper blade will return to the park position.
The programmed wiper interval procedure is as follows:
• Briefly switch the rear wiper ON/OFF
• Wait the desired interval time
• Switch the rear wiper ON again
• The OFF time will be the programmed interval - up to approx. 30 seconds
Rear window washing is activated by pressing the wiper stalk switch to the full forward
position.
The washer pump operates followed by two full wiping cycles. The wipers will then
switch to the intermittent wiping mode. Additionally, the system automatically controls the
following safety and convenience features:
• Wiper interrupt with the rear glass opened
• Wiping interrupt with a blocked wiper arm
• Continuous wiping when the vehicle is shifted into reverse
When the transmission is shifted into reverse, the wiper will switch to continuous operation
until the vehicle is shifted out of reverse. This signal (high) is provided by the LCM III when
it activates the back up lights.

The key data is stored in a transponder chip. The transponder chip is a wireless read and
write EEPROM. It is powered via the ring coil at the steering lock. Power is applied elec-
tromagnetically when the key is in the ignition switch from KL R.
The power supply is used both for data transfer as well as for charging the battery. This has
been made possible by new development of the transponder chip.
As with previous systems, every press of an FZV key also provides the battery charge con-
dition. When the FZV electronics receives a low power condition message three successive
times, the GM sets a fault indicating a low battery within a specific key. The LCM is also
informed via the bus system and alerts the driver via an instrument cluster matrix message.
If the battery is recharged (used operate car), the fault will be automatically deleted when
five successive messages are received indicating a charged battery condition.
The battery has no affect on the EWS III communication function!

Alarm Indication
When the alarm is triggered, the siren will sound for 30 seconds. At the same time the low
beam headlights (high beams on Xenon equipped vehicles) and four way flashers for 5 min-
utes. The GM signals the LCM via the bus system to flash the lights.
Following an alarm activation, the system will reset and activate again if further tampering
occurs.

Visual Entry Aid (E38/E53)
Purpose of the System
The E38 (>99 MY) and E53 is equipped with the “Visual Entry Aid” lighting system which
enhances operator convenience and safety. All interior door handles are supplemented with
soft glow lighting for ease of locating the interior door handles. When activated, the exteri-
or door lighting illuminates providing a subtle underglow for the exterior door handles on
the E38 and exterior rear view mirrors on the E53.
• The interior door handle lighting(including later E53) is provided by slim profile LEDs
and controlled directly by the LCM III.
• The exterior door handle lightingis provided by halogen bulb light sources in each
door and fiber optic tubing. The light sources are controlled by a Visual Entry Aid Control
Module which activates the lights simultaneously when the GM III activates the vehicle
interior lights.
System Components
Interior Door Handle Lighting: The light-
ing is provided by orange glow light strips
illuminated by LED’s.
• The light strips are part of the door han-
dle shell and are not replaceable.
• The LED’s are individually replaceable.
The LED’s are connected to the KL 58g interior panel lighting circuit. KL 58g is an output
pulse width modulated control signal from the LCM III. The duty cycle changes when the
LCM III detects a change in the voltage drop at the light dimmer input signal.

Rear Window Roller Sunblind Operation
The roller sunblind is activated by momentarily pressing and releasing (one touch) the sun-
blind rocker switch in the SZM. The SZM activates the motor in the appropriate direction.
The SZM switches the motor off when the motor amperage increases indicating the blind
has reached the end of its intended travel.
Fault Monitoring: The SZM continually monitors the motor drive amperage loads to deter-
mine jamming or blockages. If current values exceed preset values, the motor is switched
off immediately.
Faults are stored in the SZM for opens or shorts in the motor or motor’s wiring circuit. The
SZM also provides diagnostic requests to monitor the switch input status via the DISplus/
MoDiC.
