System Components
General Module (GM): The GM is reponsible
for the operation and central coordination of
body electronics. The GM is a micro-computer
that is the central component (heart) of the
Central Body Electronics. The GM is located be-
hind the glove box.
The main objectives for using the GM are:
The GM requires inputcommands to perform
Central Body Electronics functions. The inputs
are supplied by digital switched signals such
as:
• Trunk Lock Microswitch - supplies voltage (KL
30) to the GM when switched. A path to gro-
und is provided by the GM (internally). The
GM monitors the switched input voltage.
• Central Lock Button - supplies a ground cir-
cuit to the GM when switched. The GM sup-
plies and monitors a reference voltage (5v)
that is “pulled” low when the switched gro-
und path is provided.
The GM processesthe input information and
contains “coded” instructions that allow a spe-
cific output control of functions.
The GM will produce outputfunctions using
internal transistors to switch current flow (pro-
viding voltage or ground) through circuits and
actuators. Actuators are the final controlling
devices used by the GM to operate or control
various output functions such as relays and
motors.
• Increase Overall Reliability
• Centralize Electronic Systems
• Decrease Assembly and Service Repairs
• Centralized Diagnosis of all ZKE Components
• Individualization of Features (Coding)

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

Central Locking
Purpose of the System
The Central Locking System provides locking/
unlocking of the entire vehicle from one central
exterior point. From the driver’s door or the
remote (key-less) entry, a lock/unlock request will
lock/unlock all exterior doors, luggage compart-
ment and the fuel filler flap.
From inside, the vehicle can be locked/ unlocked using a cen-
tral locking button located in the center console. Individual
doors can be unlocked manually by pulling twice on the inte-
rior door handle.
From 2000 MY
- if the vehicle has been double locked, press
the central locking button and pull the interior door handle
twice (alarm will sound when the door opens).
Locking the vehicle from the central switch will “single lock” all
doors, luggage compartment and not lock the fuel filler flap.
The Central Locking System utilizes the GM III and Door Modules to carry out all of the lock-
ing/unlocking features:
• Remote (key-less) entry is standard.
• When locked from the outside, the vehicle will double lock and arm the DWA System. The
ignition must be switched off and the driver’s door must be opened and closed.
• Selective unlocking from the outside of the vehicle. Unlocking from the driver’s door or
remote transmitter will only unlock the driver’s door and disarm the DWA System. A sec-
ond request will unlock the remaining doors and luggage compartment. This feature can
be modified for individual users in Key Memory to open all doors from a single request.
• A single central locking button is installed in the center console that will operate when all
of the doors are closed. Locking the vehicle from the central switch will “single lock” all
doors, luggage compartment and not lock the fuel filler flap. When unlocking, a single
request will unlock the driver’s door only. This feature can be modified for individual users
in Key Memory to open all doors and luggage compartment from a single request.

• The luggage compartment can be manually
locked with a “Master Key” and leaving the
lock cylinder in the horizontal position which
prevents opening by any other method (sec-
ured for valet).
The luggage compartment release button in-
side the vehicle will also be ignored by the GM.
Prior to 2000 MY the vehicle could be locked/
unlocked using the luggage compartment lock
cylinder.
• The glove box has a lock cylinder to secure the
contents by manual locking with a “Master
Key” and leaving the lock cylinder in the hori-
zontal position which prevents opening by any
other method (secured for valet).
• The E38 has a lever behind the glove box han
dle which permits locking the glove box with-
out a key. Opening still requires a key.
The valet key is not mechanically capable of
entering either of these lock cylinders.
• The Fuel Filler Flap mechanical release is found
in the right side of the luggage compartment.
The “pull tether” is behind the button as shown
on the right.
Note: Continuous operation of locking/unlocking will cause a timed arrest of the
locking system. When activated, the timed arrest lasts for 2 minutes (or recycle
the ignition KL15). The “crash” signal will override the timed arrest and unlock the
vehicle.

System Components
- with the Principle of Operation
Driver’s Door Lock: The lock/unlock signals
from the driver’s door lock cylinder are input to
the driver’s door module from the two micro
switches on the lock cylinder. The driver’s door
switchblock module carries out the locking func-
tion of the driver’s door.
The windows and sunroof can be closed or
opened by holding the key in the lock/unlock
position (convenience closing/opening feature).
The signal to lock the remaining doors and fuel filler flap is passed over the P-Bus to the
GM III and passenger’s door module. The locking of the passenger’s door is carried out by
the passengers door module. The rear doors, luggage comparment and fuel flap locking
are carried out directly by the GM III. All four doors will be pulled into the double lock posi-
tion when locking from the driver’s door.
The control of the actuators in the front doors is through final stages in the door modules.
The rear doors, trunk and fuel filler flap actuators are controlled by internal relays in the GM
III. When locked, the GM III will not carry out any opening commands from the central lock-
ing button or luggage comparment interior release button.
Luggage Compartment Lock Cylinder (except E53/E39 Sport Wagon): The vehicle
can be locked/ unlocked (prior to 2000 MY) from the luggage compartment lock cylinder.
The lock/unlock micro switch inputs are processed in the GM III and the locking commands
are carried out.
The signal is passed over the P-Bus to the
door modules to lock/unlock the front
doors and the GM III locks the rear doors
and fuel filler flap.
All door actuators are placed in the double
lock position. Removing the key in the hor-
izontal position will activate the valet mode
and prevent the valet key from opening the
luggage comparment.

• Key in the neutral position, both sensors are
simultaneously influenced by the magnet -
0/0.
• Key turned to the unlock position from neu-
tral, hall sensor #1 magnet segment moves
away from hall sensor - 1/0.
• Key turned to lock position from neutral, hall
sensor #2 magnet segment moves away
form hall sensor - 0/1.
There are two motors incorporated in each actuator
that provide two separate functions:
Single lock/unlock function: Also known as central
lock, this motor controls the mechanical lock mecha-
nism when the central lock button is pressed to single
lock the vehicle.
The lock mechanism is fully locked at this point but can
still be opened from the interior by pulling the appropr-
iate interior door handle twice or by pressing the cen-
tral lock button again. When single lock function is acti-
vated, the fuel filler flap actuator is not locked.
Double lock/unlock function: Also known as central
arrest, this motor is activated only when the vehicle is
locked from the exterior at the driver’s door lock with a
key or when the GM receives a lock request from the
Key-less entry system. In this case the double lock
motor is activated simultaneously with the single lock
motor.
The function of the double lock motor is to mechani-
cally offset an internal rod disabling it from unlocking
the vehicle from the interior. This prevents the doors
from being unlocked by any means except from an
unlock request at the driver’s door or via the Key-less
entry.
