BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-34 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Key-in warning
The BCU can be programmed to one of two options:
lOption 1 – no timeout.
lOption 2 – no key-in warning.
The BCU issues an audible warning No. 2 request, depending on the status of the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lIgnition key inserted.
lDriver's door open.
If the key-in warning is programmed into the BCU for operation, audible warning No.2 will be requested if the ignition
switch is off, the ignition key inserted signal is on and the driver's door open signal is ON.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring, the audible warning request is not sent to the instrument pack.
SLABS HDC warning
The BCU issues an audible warning No. 3 request, depending on the status of the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lSLABS HDC warning.
The SLABS warning transmitted by the SLABS ECU is a 2 Hz signal, audible warning No. 3 is requested on every
falling edge of this signal. If the signal from the SLABS ECU stays low for more than 650 ms, audible warning No. 3
is requested every 2 seconds, for 30 seconds, while the signal stays low.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring, the audible warning request is not sent to the instrument pack.
Transfer box in neutral warning
If the transfer box is in the neutral position and the ignition switch is on, the BCU issues an audible warning No. 4
request. The BCU checks for the following inputs:
lTransfer box neutral selected.
lIgnition on.
The transfer box in neutral warning is activated by communicating with the instrument pack via the serial datalink. If
a communications link failure occurs while the transfer box in neutral warning is active, the audible warning will not
operate.
Lights on warning
If the ignition switch is off while the side lamps or headlamps on and the driver's door is opened, the BCU issues an
audible warning No. 5 request.
The BCU checks for the following inputs:
lDriver's door open.
lIgnition on.
lSide lamps.
lDipped beam state.
lMain beam state.
The lights on warning is activated by communicating with the instrument pack via the serial datalink. If a
communications link failure occurs while the lights on warning is active, the audible warning will not operate.
SLABS raise/lower
Before enabling a SLS vehicle raise/ lower request, the BCU checks the logical condition of the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lSLABS raise request.
lSLABS lower request.
If the ignition switch is in position 0 or I, the vehicle raise/ lower request is off.
With the ignition switch in position II, and the 'SLABS raise' request and 'SLABS lower' request both off, the vehicle
raise/ lower request output is driven at 25 Hz with a 50% duty cycle and the vehicle height remains unchanged.
If the 'SLABS lower' request input is on, the vehicle raise/lower request output is driven at 25 Hz with a 25% duty cycle,
lowering the vehicle.
If the 'SLABS raise' request input is on, the vehicle raise/lower request output is driven at a 25 Hz with a 75% duty
cycle.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-5
Description
General
The anti-theft system deters the theft of the vehicle with both active and passive systems. The active systems monitor
the vehicle perimeter and, in some markets the vehicle interior, for intrusion. If the system detects intrusion, an alarm
sounds. The passive systems include a vehicle immobiliser as well as protection against intrusion through super
locking the doors. The vehicle is immobilised whenever the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch. Super
locking prevents the interior door handles from opening the doors. In addition, there are many features and functions
that enhance system operation.
It is possible to perform the various functions associated with the anti-theft system remotely. To accomplish this, the
handset generates a radio frequency when the lock button or unlock button is depressed. This signal is transmitted
to the Body Control Unit (BCU) via a receiver located in front of rear sunroof beneath the headlining. Precise alignment
of the handset to the receiver is not necessary. The approximate operating range between the handset and the
receiver is 10 metres (33 feet).
It is important to understand the configuration of the system on each particular vehicle. There are many
different combinations of features with dedicated operating modes. System configuration for each vehicle
can be determined using TestBook.
The anti-theft system is controlled centrally by the BCU, which is located below and behind the passenger glovebox.
A serial communication link communicates between the Intelligent Driver Module (IDM) located within the fusebox,
the BCU and the LED located in the instrument panel.
The state of the alarm is stored in the BCU. If the battery is disconnected while the alarm is armed, the alarm will be
triggered when the battery is reconnected.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery while the alarm is armed triggers the alarm. Always disarm the alarm system before
disconnecting the battery.
The BCU also receives inputs from the following components:
lIgnition key in sensor.
lIgnition switch.
lFuel cut off switch.
lFuel flap release switch.
The BCU also interacts with the following components:
lStarter relay.
lVehicle horns.
lDirection indicators.
lFuel flap release actuator.
lCourtesy lamps.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
86-4-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Door latch switches
The BCU uses the door latch switches to indicate if a door is open or closed. There is a door latch switch within every
door latch assembly, including the tail door latch assembly.
Input/Output
The input from the door latch switches to the BCU is either zero volts or an open circuit. Zero volts indicates the door
is open. An open circuit indicates that the door is closed. When the BCU sees an open circuit, it pulls the input high
internally.
The driver's door latch switch has a dedicated signal input to the BCU. This allows the BCU to identify the driver's
door position.
The BCU use a common signal input for the remaining door latch switches.
TestBook provides the ability to monitor the real time state of the door latch switches. Remember that the driver's
door is always in a known state. The remaining doors are combined into a single state. The BCU cannot distinguish
the state of the individual doors, other than the driver's door.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-7
Driver's door key lock/unlock switches
The BCU uses the driver's door key lock/unlock switches to activate and deactivate the alarm system. Two separate
switches are incorporated into the key lock of the driver's door.
Input/Output
The input from the driver's door key lock/unlock switches to the BCU is either zero volts or an open circuit. Zero volts
indicates the key lock is in the lock or unlock position. An open circuit indicates the key lock is in the centre position.
When the BCU senses an open circuit, it pulls the input high internally.
The driver's door key lock /unlock switches have a dedicated signal input to the BCU. This allows the BCU to identify
the lock/unlock position.
TestBook provides the ability to monitor the real time state of the driver's door key lock/unlock switches.
