ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-15
Vehicle horn/alarm sounder
Vehicle horn
Alarm sounder
Depending on system configuration, the alarm sounder will either sound independently or in conjunction with the
vehicle horns as an alarm triggered warning. The alarm sounder is located under the bonnet on the bulkhead. If the
alarm is triggered, the alarm sounder operates at 0.5 second intervals in phase with the direction indicators.
Input/Output
The BCU provides an earth path for the alarm sounder relay situated in the passenger compartment fuse box.
Fuse 21 supplies battery power to the alarm sounder relay. When an unauthorised entry to the vehicle is detected,
the BCU provides an earth path for the alarm sounder relay. This earth path energises the alarm sounder relay, which
activates the alarm sounder.
If a mislock occurs the BCU triggers the alarm sounder 2 times for a period of 50 ms on, 200 ms off.
The BCU triggers the alarm sounder once for a period of 50 ms when an EKA code is requested.
When the EKA code is entered correctly, the alarm sounder will operate twice for a period of 50 ms on, 200 ms off.
The alarm sounder relay has a dedicated signal to the BCU.

86-5-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
Body Control Unit (BCU)
RHD shown, LHD similar
The BCU controls all operations for the front windows. It controls the voltage and the earth paths to the window
motors, it controls one-touch down operation and it detects stall conditions. Stall detection protects the system from
sustained high current draw that occurs when a window reaches the fully up/down position or becomes stuck. When
the BCU detects a stall condition, it disables operation at the stalled window until the window switch is released. Upon
releasing the window switch, the BCU allows normal window operation.
The BCU receives power from fuse 34 (30A) of the passenger compartment fusebox. There is a unique earth signal
between each pole of the front window switches and the BCU. This allows the BCU to determine which window motor
to operate as well as which direction to operate the motor. The BCU operates the front window motors directly. There
are no relays or switches between the BCU and the window motors.
The BCU disables stall detection on the front windows for a period of 500 ms when an electric window operates to
allow for initial current surge to the window motor. After this period, if the BCU detects a stall signal (high current draw)
for more than 300 ms, it disables the window motor until the window switch is released.
The BCU also contains the ignition switched off timeout information for both the front and the rear windows. It controls
the rear window timeout function through the IDM.
TestBook communicates with the BCU and can determine the status of the front window switches. TestBook can also
operate both front windows. TestBook can only determine rear window timeout status. It cannot determine the status
of the rear windows, nor can it operate the rear windows.
Do not feed TestBook cables through open windows as the windows operate while performing test.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-5-7
Rear window lift relay
The rear window lift relay is a normally open relay that provides power to the rear window system. It is controlled by
the IDM. The IDM receives a rear window enable signal from the BCU to allow operation during the ignition switched-
off timeout period.
Both the rear window lift relay and the IDM are located in the passenger compartment fusebox. The IDM is integral
to the passenger compartment fusebox.
The rear window lift relay receives voltage from fuse 13 (30A) in the passenger compartment fusebox. The IDM
controls the earth side of the relay coil.
TestBook cannot monitor the status of the rear window lift relay.

WINDOWS
86-5-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Rear window switches
There are two sets of switches that operate the rear windows. There is a set of rear window switches located in the
centre console that allow the front seat occupants to operate the rear windows. The second set of switches are
located on the rear doors. All rear window switches are non-latching rocker switches.
A conventional window switch circuit controls the rear window system. In the rest position, there is battery voltage at
both sides of every switch as well as at the window motors. Operating any switch provides a ground path through the
switch to the window motor. Operating the switch in the opposite direction switches the voltage path and the earth
path to the motor allowing the motor to run in the opposite direction.
Voltage for the rear windows is from fuse 13 (30A) in the passenger compartment fusebox through the rear window
lift relay to the switches and motors.
TestBook cannot monitor the status of the rear window switches.

Aerial
On base and midline ICE systems an AM/FM aerial is built-in to the side window glass on the RH side of the vehicle.
An amplifier is located on the frame above the rear side widow behind the rear quarter trim, and is secured (and
earthed) with one bolt. Coaxial leads connect the aerial to the aerial amplifier and radio cassette. Power is supplied
from the auxilary relay in the engine compartment fuse box, through a fuse in the passenger compartment fusebox to
the amplifier.
On high line ICE systems two amplified aerials are built-in to the side window glass of the vehicle. The two aerials are
an AM/FM aerial on the RH side, and an FM aerial on the LH side. The amplifier for each aerial are located on the
frame above each rear side widow behind the rear quarter trim, and are each secured (and earthed) with one bolt.
Amplified aerials improve the reception quality, the FM aerial gives improved reception in areas of poor signal
(diversity) conditions in urban areas. A Power feed from the radio cassette player is connected to the amplified aerials,
power is available when the cassette player is operating. The aerials are connected to the radio cassette player by
two coaxial cables, a small plug connects the FM only aerial, a larger plug connects the AM/FM aerial.
Power amplifier (high line system)
The amplifier is located on a bracket under the LH front seat and is secured with three screws and washers. The
amplifier receives inputs from the radio, radio cassette player or (via the radio cassette player) the CD-autochanger.
Power for the amplifier is supplied from the passenger compartment fuse box. The amplifier will power up when an
enable logic signal is sent from the radio cassette, this signal is sent by the radio cassette when it is turned on.
CD-autochanger (high line system)
A CD-autochanger is located under the RH front seat, the unit is secured to brackets in the floor with four screws and
washers. A tray is used to hold each compact disk (CD), the loaded tray is then inserted in a magazine, the magazine
holds six trays and is then inserted into the CD-autochanger. A sliding cover protects the internal components of the
CD-autochanger from dirt entry through the magazine opening. An eject button located on the front of the CD-
autochanger can be used to release the magazine from the CD-autochanger. The sliding cover has to be opened
manually before the magazine eject button is pressed. The operation of the CD-autochanger is controlled by inputs
from the radio cassette, the control inputs can be from the radio cassette buttons, the remote radio controls or the rear
radio headphone amplifiers if they are fitted. The output from the CD-autochanger are connected to the radio cassette
player. The radio cassette player sends the outputs to the power amplifier. Power is supplied to the CD-autochanger
by a feed from the radio cassette player.
Radio headphone amplifiers (high line system)
The rear mounted radio headphone amplifiers are located in the lower rear quarter trim casing and are held in position
by a clip on the side of the headphone amplifier. Mode and function buttons are located on a control panel, the mode
button allows each of the rear seat passengers to independently select from the radio, tape or CD-autochanger. The
driver and the rear seat passengers can each listen to any of the audio devices they select. However the radio
cassette setting has overall priority e.g:
lIf the radio cassette is using a radio wave band (AM or FM), the headphone user will be able to select the cassette
tracks or CD-autochanger. The user will be able to listen to same radio band that is selected on the radio
cassette, but will not be able to change the station selected.
lIf the radio cassette has CD-autochanger selected, the headphone amplifiers will allow listening to the compact
disk but will not allow track changes. The headphone user will be able to select on all of the radio bands or
cassette tracks.
lIf the radio cassette has tape selected, the headphone amplifiers will allow listening to the tape but will not allow
track changes. The headphone user will be able to select all radio bands or CD's on the CD-autochanger.
If one headphone amplifier unit has control of the tape player, CD or radio, the other headphone amplifier will be able
to listen and be able to change tape tracks or radio bands. Other buttons allow a search seek function of radio band
or compact disk track, reversal of the tape, radio station and volume adjustment depending on the current operating
mode. If one radio headphone amplifier has control of the radio, tape or CD autochanger the other radio headphone
amplifier is able to change the track or radio band selected. A headphone socket with a glow ring is located on the
control panel. When a headphone is turned on , a 'headphone-module active' signal is sent to the radio cassette
player. The design incorporates panel illumination and a glow-ring to locate the socket in low light conditions. To
control the audio output from the radio headphone amplifiers, signals are sent to and received from the radio cassette
player.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
87-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
Where fitted, the CARiN III and Trafficmaster system combines a satellite navigation system (CARiN III) with a real-
time traffic information system (Trafficmaster).
The satellite navigation system provides computer generated audible and visual route guidance information to enable
the driver to reach a desired destination. The system allows the driver to choose between road navigation and off-
road navigation, and to incorporate waypoints. Road navigation also allows the driver to choose between using minor
or major roads and the quickest or shortest route. Directions to hospitals, museums, monuments, hotels etc. are also
available. The computer uses map information stored on a CD-ROM to determine the best route for the journey and
provide the driver with details of directions and approaching junctions. The current position of the vehicle is
determined using a combination of vehicle sensor inputs and the Global Positioning System (GPS).
The Trafficmaster system displays live traffic flow information on the road navigation map screens. Traffic speed is
indicated on the maps by colour coded roads and arrows. The traffic flow information is relayed from a network of
sensors covering motorways and trunk roads. Data from the sensors is updated on a three minute cycle, 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year.
The navigation system consists of the following components:
lNavigation computer
lGPS antenna
lDisplay unit
lSwitch pack
lNavigation speaker
lTrafficmaster monitor ECU
lTrafficmaster antenna
Navigation Computer
The navigation computer is located in a bracket under the RH front seat, immediately behind the CD autochanger.
The navigation computer contains all the hardware and software required for control of the navigation system,
including the GPS receiver and a solid state piezo gyro. Using the gyro, and inputs from the GPS antenna and the
vehicle K bus, the navigation computer determines the vehicle’s current position, direction and speed.
The navigation computer also houses a CD-ROM drive. The drive is used to read map data from country specific CD’s
and also to load software into the computer. A button, adjacent to the CD slot, is provided to eject the CD from the
unit. If the ignition is on, one press of the button will eject the CD. If the ignition is off, two presses are required, one
to wake up the system and the second to eject the CD. Access to the CD-ROM drive is from the rear of the RH front
seat.
