DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 84-11
Front wiper motor assembly
The front wiper motor assembly is located on the bulkhead beneath the plenum.
The dc motor contains two permanent magnets, three brushes and a park switch. The smaller third brush is utilised
for high-speed operation. Attached to the brush pack are 3 capacitors, which minimise radio interference during wiper
operation. A thermal trip switch attached to the brush plate prevents thermal overload of the motor.
The motor incorporates a worm drive gear unit to transfer the rotary motion into a linear motion of the wiper linkage
assembly.
The front wiper motor receives battery voltage from fuse 19 of the passenger compartment fuse box. For low-speed
operation, including intermittent variable delay operation, the battery voltage to move the wiper motor from the park
position passes through the front wiper relay. When the park switch moves to the closed when operating position,
fuse 19 of the passenger compartment fuse box provides battery voltage directly to the wiper motor.
For high-speed operation, including flick wipe, fuse 19 in the passenger compartment fuse box provides the battery
voltage to move the wiper motor from the park position through the front wash/ wipe switch to the front wiper motor.
To achieve high-speed wiper operation, power is supplied to a third brush that provides a closer distance between the
motor poles. Because the poles of the motor are closer together, the motor operates faster.

WIPERS AND WASHERS
84-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Rear screen washer jet
A single washer jet for the tail door window is fitted to the rear wiper blade. The jet has four spray orifices which direct
washer fluid to either side and along the length of the wiper blade. The jet is connected by a hose from the wiper blade,
through a sealing grommet in the tail door and connects with the rear washer hose from the rear washer pump. A non-
return valve is used to join the feed hose from the pump to the washer jet hose. The non-return valve prevents fluid
draining to the reservoir and ensures that the washer operates immediately the washer pump is operated. The hose
from the pump to the tail door is located inside the main harness.
Headlamp power washer jets
When fitted, a powerwash jet for each headlamp is located in a housing on the top surface of the front bumper. The
jets are fed with fluid at high pressure from the powerwash pump. A large diameter hose connects each jet to the
pump. Each connection is secured with a metal clip to secure the hose due to the high pressure from the pump. Each
jet directs the high pressure fluid in a wide spray onto the headlamp lens.
Rear washer switch
The rear washer switch is a non-latching pushbutton switch and is located on the RH side of the instrument pack.
Activating the rear washer switch provides battery voltage from fuse 30 in the passenger compartment fusebox to the
rear washer pump.

WIPERS AND WASHERS
84-16 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Headlamp powerwash pump
The headlamp power wash pump consists of a DC motor with an impeller. It is located on the front of the washer fluid
reservoir.
The BCU controls operation of the headlamp power wash relay, which supplies battery voltage from fuse 4 located in
the engine compartment fuse box to the headlamp power wash pump. When the BCU determines headlamp power
wash is to be activated, it provides a ground path for the coil of the headlamp power wash relay. The auxiliary relay
located in the engine compartment fuse box supplies the headlamp power wash relay coil with battery voltage.

WIPERS AND WASHERS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 84-19
Rear wash
Rear wash will only operate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lRear wash switch operated.
Operating the rear washer switch for longer than 0.4 second allows the rear washer pump motor and rear wipers to
run as long as the switch is held. The wipers run for 4 seconds after the rear washer switch is released. Flicking the
rear washer switch energises the rear washer pump motor for 0.4 second.
The rear washer operation has a higher priority than the intermittent wipe operation. If the intermittent wipe is active
when a rear washer operation is initiated, the wash cycle executes and the intermittent wipe is re-instated at the end
of the washer operation.
Wiper park switch
The park switch allows the wipers to come to rest in the park position when the wipe switch is turned off in mid-wipe.
The park switch consists of a positive and a negative contact. These two contacts are described as closed at park
and closed when operating. When the wipers first start, the park switch is in the closed at park position. A relay
controls battery voltage to the motor. Battery voltage passes through this relay contact to move the wiper motor from
the park position.
When the motor moves, the park switch moves to the closed when operating position. Battery voltage to this relay
contact is direct from fuse 19. Battery voltage passes through this contact to keep the wiper motor running. The wiper
motor operates for one complete revolution until the park switch moves to the closed at park position again.
Switching off the wipers removes battery voltage from the closed at park contact. When the wipers reach the closed
at park switch an earth is applied and the motor stops abruptly.
Headlamp power wash
Headlamp power wash activates when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch in position II.
lHeadlamps switched on.
lFront wash switch operated.
lBCU counter allows headlamp power wash.
Operating the front washer switch with the headlamps switched on energises the IDM, supplying a voltage to the
headlamp powerwash relay, which operates the headlamp powerwash pump and increments a counter within the
BCU. This counter prevents the headlamp powerwash pump from operating every time the front washer switch is
activated. Headlamp powerwash is only operational every third front wash cycle, providing the headlamps are on.
The counter resets when the ignition switch is turned off.
When the BCU permits headlamp power wash operation, the pump motor operates only for 0.5 second.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-1
BODY CONTROL UNIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERAT ION
Description
General
The Body Control Unit (BCU) is located behind the passenger glovebox and is connected to the main harness by four
connectors on its bottom edge and an additional connector located on the side of the BCU casing. Mounting the BCU
behind the fascia makes it reasonably inaccessible for intruders to disable the anti-theft system.
The BCU uses solid-state microprocessor control to perform logical operations and timing functions for a variety of
the vehicle's electrically operated systems, these include:
lDoor locking.
lAnti-theft alarm and immobilisation system.
lExterior lighting including direction indicators and hazard warning lamps.
lCourtesy lighting.
lWipers and washers.
lElectric windows and sunroof.
lHeated windows.
The BCU also communicates with several other electronically controlled systems such as the EAT ECU and SLABS
ECU and also has a datalink between the Intelligent Driver Module (IDM) and the instrument pack. The datalink is a
low speed bus capable of transmitting and receiving messages at a data rate of 10,400 bits per second. Additional
inputs and outputs to peripheral devices are included which are necessary for determining vehicle status for particular
logical operations e.g. crank, ignition key inserted, fuel flap enable etc.
The BCU receives its power supply from the engine compartment fuse box, and is protected by a 10 A fuse.
The BCU communicates with the IDM to provide the control signals to perform power switching operations in
conjunction with dedicated relays.
IDM
The IDM is integrated into the passenger compartment fuse box, which is mounted behind the fascia below the
steering column. There are no harnesses between the fuse box and the IDM. The IDM performs the power switching
operations for several of the vehicle's electrical systems.
The IDM communicates with the BCU and the instrument pack via a serial interface. If the BCU or the IDM is replaced,
the communications link between the two units has to be re-established. This can be done either by switching on the
ignition and leaving it on for five minutes, or by using TestBook. The vehicle immobilisation will remain active until the
communications link between the BCU and IDM has been re-established.
Transit mode
To prevent excessive battery drain during transit to overseas markets, the vehicle is placed in a transit mode. The
following functions are disabled when the vehicle is in transit mode:
lVolumetric sensors.
lPassive immobilisation.
lImmobilisation of the vehicle by use of door lock.
lIgnition key interlock.
lElectric seat enable time-out with driver's door open.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Power supply
Battery supply to the BCU and the IDM is provided through a 10 A fuse located in the engine compartment fuse box.
The BCU unit receives an ignition switched power supply (ignition switch position II) input via a 10 A fuse in the
passenger compartment fuse box.
The BCU receives a signal when the ignition switch is turned to the crank position, it then supplies an earth path to
the starter relay coil, to enable the crank operation by supplying power through the starter relay contacts to the starter
motor.
Battery voltage is monitored and BCU operation will function normally between 8 and 18 volts. Between 5.7 and 8
volts the BCU is in the 'under volts' state. The status of the battery is used to determine which outputs may be driven.
If a voltage supply above 18 volts is experienced, outputs will not normally be driven except for those functions which
are required during cranking (robust immobilisation, antenna coil, crank enable relay and feed to gear position switch
contacts W, X, Y, Z). In the over voltage state the vehicle can be driven, but all other functions are disabled and
outputs are switched off (power windows, heated screen, direction indicators etc.).
All functions are disabled on power up until communications between the BCU and IDM have been established. If
communications cannot be established, operation will commence with degraded functionality.
Battery supply to the IDM is provided through the inertia switch and a 10 A fuse in the engine compartment fuse box.
If the inertia switch contacts are closed battery voltage is available at the IDM; if the inertia switch contacts are open
there is no battery supply to the IDM. The supply condition of the IDM is signalled to the BCU via the serial bus. If the
inertia switch is operated (contacts open) the change in state is detected by the BCU which unlocks the doors if the
ignition switch is in position II and the alarm is not set.
The BCU is earthed through a hard-wire connection.
Inputs and outputs
The BCU and IDM process inputs and provide the necessary outputs for control and operation of the vehicle's 'body'
systems.
BCU inputs
The BCU processes signals received from the following components:
lDoor latch switches.
lDriver's door key lock/ unlock switches.
lBonnet activated security system.
lVolumetric sensors.
lCentral Door Locking (CDL) switches.
lRemote transmitter (via receiver unit).
lInertia fuel cut-off switch.
lIgnition switch.
lFuel flap release switch.
The input voltages (V
in) for BCU digital signals are defined as follows:
lLogic 1 when V
in ≥ 6V.
lLogic 0 when V
in ≤ 2V.
BCU input voltages between 2 and 6 volts are indeterminate and cannot be guaranteed.
Analogue input voltages are measured as a ratio with respect to battery voltage.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Central Door Locking (CDL)
The BCU carries out the logic control operation for CDL. A CDL switch is mounted on the fascia panel and has two
inputs to the BCU, one for lock and one for unlock.
Door locking and unlocking can be performed using the remote transmitter in the keys and the receiver unit located
above the vehicle's headlining, behind the rear sunroof aperture. The receiver detects the signals sent from the
remote transmitter and sends a decoded signal to the BCU for processing.
Four methods of door locking are available:
lRemote handset locking.
lVehicle key locking.
lCDL switch locking.
lSpeed related locking.
Two security levels of door locking are available, CDL and Superlocking. The anti-theft alarm system works in
conjunction with the CDL system.
Electric windows and sunroof
The BCU controls the logical operations and the timing periods for the electric front windows. The rear windows are
hard-wired and the two electric sunroofs are controlled by a dedicated ECU which is enabled by the BCU.
The front windows are electrically operated using two rocker switches located in the centre console. Electric motors
are located in each of the front doors.
The rear windows are enabled by the IDM controlling the operation of the rear window relay located in the passenger
compartment fuse box.
Wipers and washers
The wiper and washer functions are controlled by the BCU and the IDM.
The front wipers and washers are operated from the switch stalk located on the right hand side of the steering column
and only operate when the ignition switch is in position I or II. The front wipers are operated by a motor located below
the windscreen plenum.

+ WIPERS AND WASHERS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
The BCU controls the wiper motor frequency of operation via the IDM when intermittent wipe or wash is selected. The
front intermittent wipe option features five different intermittent delay periods. The shortest delay period is 3 seconds
and this is increased by 2 second increments up to a maximum delay of 11 seconds. The desired delay period for the
front wipers is set by the position of the rotary switch located on the wiper column stalk.
The rear wiper switch is located on the instrument pack cowl and is latched when pressed. The rear wiper electric
motor is located in the tail door. The rear wiper operation is controlled according to a programmed strategy via the
BCU and the IDM. The BCU also checks for a signal from either the reverse lamp switch located in the vehicle gearbox
(manual gearbox models) or the gear position switch (automatic gearbox models) for operating the rear wipers when
the vehicle is in reverse. The rear wiper and washer only operate when the ignition switch is in position II.
The front and rear washer pumps and the headlamp powerwash (where fitted) are also controlled through the BCU.
The washers are operated from electric pumps attached to the washer reservoir located in the left hand wheel arch.
The front wash switch is located on the wiper column stalk and is pulled towards the steering wheel to select the
washer function. When the front washers are operated, the wipers are also activated for three full cycles. The rear
wash switch is located on the instrument pack cowl. The BCU programme can be configured in one of two modes of
operation:
lNo wiper operation when the wash switch is pressed.
lWiper action after an initial delay of 400 ms.
Headlamp wash is activated by the BCU via the IDM and operates when the headlamps are on and the front washers
function is selected.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-15
Electric seats
The BCU controls the logical operation of the electrically operated front seats. Two modes of operation are available:

+ SEATS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - electric seats.
lElectric seat adjustment is enabled if the ignition is on or the driver's door is opened for a short time period.
lElectric seat adjustment is enabled if the ignition is on and the driver's door is closed.
The seats are operated by four electric motors which control the seat cushion rear up/ down, the seat cushion front
up/ down, seat cushion forward/ rearward and seat squab recline. The electrically powered lumbar adjustment in each
seat is operated by a single motorised air pump and a solenoid located on the seat squab frame. The air pump inflates
a cushion in the seat squab and the solenoid operates a valve to deflate the cushion. The seat squab and cushion
may also contain heater elements to provide heated seat operation.
The switches for electrically operated seats are located either side of the centre console.
Direction indicators and hazard warning lamps
The direction indicator lamps are operated from a three position direction indicator switch on the left hand, steering
column stalk. The BCU only allows the lamps to work as direction indicators when the ignition switch is in position II.
The BCU also controls the lamps to operate as hazard warning lamps and as a visual warning for the anti-theft system,
in which cases all lamps flash simultaneously irrespective of the ignition switch position.
System control of the direction indicators and hazard warning lamps is provided by the BCU operating with the IDM
and two electronic relays located in the passenger compartment fuse box. The IDM and relays are integral parts of
the passenger compartment fuse box and cannot be serviced individually. The serial data bus is used for
communication of status and operation requests between the BCU, IDM and instrument pack.
The hazard warning lamps are operated from a latching pushbutton switch located on the fascia.
All direction indicator/ hazard warning lamp bulbs are rated at 5 Watts.
Headlamps
The BCU contains a feature which allow the vehicle headlamps to be turned on when the remote transmitter is
pressed (courtesy headlamps).
For markets with daylight running lamps, the BCU controls the logical operation of the daylight running lamps. Options
are daylight running lamps are on if the main beam headlamps are off, or the daylight running lamps are on with main
and dipped beam off and the gearbox not in Park.
Front fog lamps
For markets with front fog lamps fitted, the BCU controls the operation of the front fog lamps. Options can be selected
so that the fog lamps will operate with or without the headlamps on main beam.
Instrument pack
The BCU communicates with the instrument pack via a serial data bus.

+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
lThe instrument pack provides the BCU and IDM with details of vehicle speed.
lSignals are provided from the IDM to the instrument pack and BCU when the direction indicator lamps are active.
lFor certain markets, the BCU provides a signal to the instrument pack for indicating when the transfer box is in
neutral.
lThe IDM can signal the instrument pack to illuminate a trailer warning lamp. This operates when the IDM senses
that the current drawn by the indicator circuit exceeds a preset threshold.
lThe odometer reading displayed on the instrument pack LCD screen is also stored in non volatile memory in the
BCU. Whenever the ignition is turned from position I to position II, the instrument pack and the BCU compare
their stored values.
lThe gear selector position is displayed on the instrument pack LCD screen under the direction of the BCU.
Starting
The starting system comprises a starter motor and solenoid located at the rear right hand side of the engine. A starter
relay controlled by the BCU is used to supply battery power for starter solenoid operation. The starter motor receives
its feed directly from the battery.
