glove box BMW X5 2005 E53 Central Body Electronics Workshop Manual

ZKE - 4
POWER DISTRIBUTION
The X5 utilizes a single high amperage fused
power distribution center located to the left EHC
air reservoir beneath the cargo area floor.
The main fuse box is located inside the glove
box above a hinged panel. This places the
power distribution close to the main electronics
carrier behind the glove box.
The glove box mounted fuse box includes fuses
1 - 64.
Mounted on the top surface of the fuse panel are
the following relays:
FUEL PUMP
HORN
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
VISUAL ENTRY AID RELAY MODULE(OPTIONAL - REFER TO 1999 MODEL UPDATE)

ANTI-THEFT (DWA) SYSTEM
The GM utilizes the following components to provide the DWA function:
• Door lock hall effect sensor contacts (door open/closed).
• Tailgate lid switch contact (monitored for closed tailgate).
• Hood switch (monitored for closed hood, located under the hood).
• DWA status LED (part of rear view mirror).
• Tilt sensor located in the electrical
carrier forward of the glove box (next
to GM)
• UIS Interior compartment monitoring
sensor (pre wiring in area of installa-
tion in center headliner).
• DWA siren (left cowl area next to mas-
ter cylinder).

TILT SENSOR
Located in the electrical carrier forward of the glove
box, the tilt sensor is an electronic sensing device with
the sole purpose of monitoring the vehicle's parked
angle when DWA is armed.
The sensor requires three signal wires to perform its function:
• KL 30 - Constant battery voltage
• Signal "STDWA"; switched ground input signal provided by the GM indicating DWA
armed/disarmed status. The tilt sensor is used as a splice location for the STDWA sig-
nal to the Siren and FIS interior protection sensor.
• Signal "NG"; switched ground output signal provided to the GM. The signal is used for
two purposes,
1. As a momentary acknowledgment that the tilt sensor received STDWA and is cur-
rently monitoring the vehicle angle.
2. If the tilt sensor detects a change in the vehicle's angle when DWA is armed, signal
NG is switched to inform the GM to activate the siren.
When the tilt sensor receives the STDWA signal from the GM it memorizes the vehicle's
parked angle. The angle of the vehicle is monitored by the solid state electronics. Once
armed, if the angle changes, the tilt sensor provides a switched ground signal to the GM to
activate DWA.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS OF ZKE III
CONSUMER CUT OFF
The interior lights are connected to the consumer cut out circuit. These consumers are con-
nected to KL 30 and can remain on if one of the control switches are left on. This would
prevent the ZKE from going into the sleep mode. However, the consumer cut off will switch
Kl 30, to the interior lighting, off after 16 minutes.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The seat and steering column motors are provided operating power through the consumer
cutoff / overload protection relay module as on the E38. The consumer cutoff signal from
the GM signals the relay to maintain operating power to the consumers.
If an overload condition exists, the relay module detects the increase in amperage and
opens the relay. The relay module is located in the electrical carrier forward of the glove
box.
