BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-32 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The shift interlock option can be programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer requirements,
these are:
lOption 1– not fitted.
lOption 2 – normal operation.
lOption 3 – inhibit transfer box.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for employing the shift interlock
solenoid:
lBrake switch activated.
lIgnition state.
lGearbox state.
In the event of a communications link failure, the shift interlock solenoid enable is switched on for 1 minute every time
the ignition is switched on and switched off when the ignition is turned off.
Ignition interlock (where fitted)
On automatic gearbox models, when the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch, the ignition key-in switch
contacts close to supply a signal to the BCU to indicate the presence of the key in the switch and provide a supply
feed to the ignition interlock solenoid. If the gear selector lever is in a position other than Park, or the 'transfer box
neutral selected' is on, the BCU will supply an earth path to complete the ignition interlock circuit and cause the
interlock solenoid to be engaged. With the interlock solenoid engaged, removal of the ignition key is prevented. The
BCU will open the circuit, to allow removal of the ignition key, only when the gear selector lever is in the Park position
and the transfer box is in either high or low range.
The ignition key interlock option can be programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer
requirements, these are:
lOption 1– not fitted.
lOption 2 – normal operation.
lOption 3 – inhibit transfer box.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for operating the ignition key interlock
solenoid:
lTransfer box neutral selected.
lGearbox state.
lTransit mode.
When the transit mode is on, the ignition key interlock solenoid is off.
Transfer box interlock (where fitted)
The transfer box interlock is controlled by the IDM to prevent transfer box shifter operation unless certain
preconditions have been satisfied.
The transfer box interlock prevents the transfer box being shifted from High or Low to neutral with the ignition key
removed from the ignition switch. When the BCU senses that the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch, it
signals the IDM via the serial data bus. The IDM then provides an earth path for the coil of the transfer box relay,
energising the relay coil and closing the relay contacts to provide a voltage supply to the transfer box interlock
solenoid.
A diode is included in the supply line to the solenoid to prevent residual current causing the solenoid to stick in the
energised position.
The transfer box solenoid interlock option can be programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer
requirements, these are:
lOption 1– not fitted.
lOption 2 – normal operation.
lOption 3 – inhibit transfer box.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for employing the transfer box interlock
solenoid (transfer box solenoid enable):
lIgnition state.
lGearbox state.

IN CAR ENTERTAINMENT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-6-11
Automatic volume control (High line system only)
An automatic base and treble volume control feature compensates for increases in interior road/transmission noise.
A road speed signal is monitored by the power amplifier, the signal is supplied by the SLABS ECU.

+ BRAKES, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.The power amplifier boosts the levels of base
and treble as road speed increases. This system ensures that the apparent volume of sound remains constant and is
not affected by increases in the background noise in the vehicle.
Speakers
Some vehicles will not have all the speakers, the type and location of speakers fitted depends on the trim level and
ICE options specified for the vehicle.
A-post speakers LH/RH (if fitted)
The A-post speakers are located in the A-post trim on each side of the windscreen, and are each protected by a metal
grille. The speakers are held from the rear by a bayonet clip that clamps the speaker on to the A-post trim. The A-post
speakers are a high range type and have a power rating of:
lMid line system A-post speakers have a power rating of 15 watts and an impedance of 4 Ω.
lHigh line system A-post speakers have a power rating of 30 watts and an impedance of 4 Ω.
Upper front and rear door speakers LH/RH (high line system only)
The upper door speakers are located in the upper door trim, the speaker is protected by an integral metal grille. The
speaker is held in by a threaded ring that clamps the speaker from the rear onto the door trim. The upper door speaker
is a mid-range type and has a power rating of 30 watts and an impedance of 4 Ω.
Lower front door speakers LH/RH
The lower front door speaker is located in the front end of the lower (pocket) trim and is secured by three self tapping
screws. The speaker is protected by a clip on circular metal grille. The type of lower front door speakers fitted depends
on trim level and market:
lThe base and mid line systems are fitted with full-range door speakers with a power rating of 15 watts and an
impedance of 4 Ω
lThe high line system is fitted with a low-range door speaker with a power rating of 30 watts and an impedance
of 4 Ω.
Lower rear door speaker LH/RH
The lower rear door speaker is located in the lower door trim and is secured by three self tapping screws. The speaker
is protected by a clip on metal grille. The type of lower rear door speaker fitted depends on trim level and market:
lThe base and mid line systems are fitted with full-range door speakers with a power rating of 15 watts and an
impedance of 4 Ω
lThe high line system is fitted with a low-range door speaker with a power rating of 30 watts and an impedance
of 4 Ω.
Low range tail door speakers (high line system only)
The low range tail door speaker are located in a plastic casing in the lower door trim. Each of the two speakers is
secured to the casing with four self tapping screws. The casing is secured to the lower door structure with eight bolts.
The tail door trim surrounds the casing, the front of the casing is covered by a metal grill that is secured with six
screws. The low range tail door speakers have a power rating of 30 watts and has an impedance of 4 Ω.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 88-5
Description
General
The instrument pack consists of four analogue dials, four warning lamp packs and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
odometer.
The four dials are used to indicate:
lRoad speed.
lEngine speed.
lFuel tank level.
lEngine coolant temperature.
The dials are driven by a microprocessor from information received from the serial communication link. Information
input is received as either:
lDigital.
lAnalogue.
lPulse train.
lPulse Width Modulation (PWM).
The LCD provides information for:
lOdometer.
lTrip distance.
lSelected gear (on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox).
A trip reset button is provided to zero the trip display, this button also allows the selection of "miles" or "kilometres"
for the display. A photocell controls the illumination of the LCD, maintaining contrast of the display during ambient light
changes.
Within the four warning lamp packs there are 28 lamps. A long life bulb illuminates the high beam warning lamp and
the rest of the warning lamps are illuminated by Light Emitting Diodes (LED's). All warning lamp legends are invisible
until lit. When lit the symbols are illuminated on a black background.
The warning lamps illuminate in one of four colours. The colour indicates the level of importance to the driver, as
follows:
lRed = warning.
lAmber = caution.
lGreen = system operative.
lBlue = main beam operative.
The first warning lamp pack is located in the top left-hand side of the instrument pack and contains the following
warning lamps:
lTraction control warning lamp.
lTransfer box in neutral warning lamp.
lDifferential lock warning lamp
lOverspeed warning lamp (activated for gulf market only).
lBrake system warning lamp.
lHill Descent Control (HDC) information warning lamp.
lMalfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)/ SERVICE ENGINE SOON warning lamp.
The second warning lamp pack is located in the centre of the instrument pack and contains the following warning
lamps:
lDirection indicator warning lamps.
lHigh beam warning lamp.
lAnti-lock brake system warning lamp.
