DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-25
Wipers and washers
Front and rear wash/ wipe operations are controlled by the BCU via the IDM.
Front wipers and washers
When front intermittent wipe is selected using the wiper switch on the column stalk, the BCU signals the IDM to
operate the wiper motor. The IDM then supplies a voltage to the normal speed winding of the wiper motor for a period
of no longer than 500 ms. The timed feed ensures the wiper motor operates, but does not complete more than a single
wipe of the screen. The BCU checks the position of the delay switch to determine the delay period which should be
utilised for the intermittent wipe operation. The delay period of the front intermittent wipe is maintained until the wiper
switch is moved to the off, normal or fast speed position, or the delay period is changed.
When front intermittent wipe is selected, a delay period of 500 ms will be incurred before the wipers operate. This
delay prevents the occurrence of a wipe action when the wiper switch is changed to the off position from the normal
or fast modes of operation.
To enable the front intermittent wipe facility, the BCU checks the state of the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lFront intermittent wiper switch.
lFront intermittent wiper rate.
If the ignition switch is in the off or crank position, the front wipers are not active and the front wiper enable output is
switched off.
If the option to initiate a wipe action in addition to a front screen wash action has been configured in the BCU, the
wipers will operate 400 ms after the washer pump becomes active. If the washer switch is released within 400 ms,
the wipers will not be activated. If a washer switch is pressed for longer than 400 ms, the BCU will operate the wipers
after an initial delay of 400 ms, and will continue to operate for as long as the washer switch is depressed plus an
additional 4 seconds.
The front wash/ wipe programme can be configured to operate in one of two ways:
lOption 1 – normal.
lOption 2 – no wipe.
The BCU checks for the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lFront washer pump switch.
The BCU can provide the following wash / wipe outputs depending on the logic states prevailing:
lFront wiper enable.
lFront wash/ wipe in progress flag.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the front wash/ wipe programme is in operation, the front
wiper enable output is switched off.
Rear wipers and washers
The rear wiper is initially operated for a period of 4 seconds when the rear wiper switch is pressed, to complete two
full cycles. After this, the rear wiper will operate every other time the front wiper completes a wipe operation. During
the wipe operation, the front and rear wipers are synchronised, and changes to the delay period during intermittent
wipe will change the delay period for both front and rear wipers.
Operation of the rear washer switch causes the washer motor to operate for as long as the switch is operated. The
wiper also operates while the switch is depressed and for a further 4 seconds after the switch is released.
The BCU checks for the following inputs to determine when to provide the rear wiper enable signal:
lIgnition state.
lRear wiper switch.
lFront intermittent wiper rate.
lFront intermittent wiper switch.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
If the ignition switch is in the off or crank position, the rear wipers are not active and the rear wiper enable output is
switched off.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the rear intermittent wipe programme is in operation, the
rear wiper enable output is switched off.
Reverse gear wipe
The BCU changes the operation of the rear wiper when the front wiper is active and reverse gear is selected. The rear
wiper operation rate used when the preconditions have been satisfied depend on the prevailing front wiper operating
mode and the position of the rear wiper switch. If the rear wiper is on or the front wiper is operating at an intermittent
rate when reverse gear is selected, the BCU will operate the rear wiper continuously for 4 seconds via the IDM. After
the initial period, the rear wiper will operate at the same rate as the front wiper.
The BCU checks for the following inputs to determine when to provide the rear wiper enable signal if the vehicle is in
reverse gear:
lIgnition state.
lRear wiper switch.
lFront intermittent wiper rate.
lReverse gear selected.
lFront intermittent wiper switch.
lFront wiper switch state.
lFront wash/ wipe in progress flag.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the reversing wipe is in operation, the rear wiper enable
output is switched off.
Headlamp wash
The headlamp wash will only operate when the headlamps are on, and then only every third time the front windscreen
wash button is pressed. When the BCU operates the headlamp washers, it activates the washer pump relay for a
period of 500 ms. The BCU supplies an earth path for the coil of the power wash relay located in the engine
compartment fuse box when the washer function is selected.
The BCU checks for the following inputs to determine when to provide power to the headlamp power wash relay:
lIgnition state.
lFront washer pump switch.
lDipped beam.
lMain beam state.
If the ignition switch is in the off position, the headlamp power wash relay is also held off. if the ignition state is crank,
the headlamp power wash relay is switched off and the headlamp power wash counter is reset to 0.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the headlamp power wash relay in on , the relay remains
on until the 500 ms timer has completed, then the relay is switched off.
Electric seats
The BCU can be programmed to operate the electric seats according to one of three options:
lOption 1 – no electric seats.
lOption 2 – normal.
lOption 3 – operates with ignition only.
To determine when to provide an output to the passenger and drivers seat enable relay, the BCU checks the condition
of the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lTransit mode.
lDriver's door open.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-27
The electrically controlled seats are operated when the ignition switch is in position I or II or for a predetermined period
when the driver's door is open. If the ignition state is in crank, the seat enable relay is off. If the ignition state is off and
the driver's door open input is off, the seat enable relay is off. If the ignition state is off and the driver's door open input
is on and transit mode is on, the seat enable relay output is off.
The power supply to each seat switch pack is powered from a power seat relay located on the underside of each seat
frame. The feed from the relay is protected by a fuse located in a satellite fuse block located adjacent to the power
seat relay. The fuse block also contains two additional fuses which are used to protect the feeds to the lumbar pump
and solenoid.
With the ignition switch in position I or II or the driver's door open, the BCU provides an earth path for the coils of the
LH and RH power seat relays, energising the relays and closing the contacts. If the driver's door input signal is on for
longer than 45 seconds with the ignition switched off, the seat enable relay is switched off.
Direction indicators and hazard warning lamps
The BCU supplies reference voltages for the LH and RH indicators. When the direction indicator switch is used to
select the LH or RH indicator position, an earth path is completed which signals the BCU that a request for direction
indicator operation has been made. The BCU then communicates this request to the IDM which supplies an earth
path for the coil of the relevant relay (LH or RH indicator relay). When the relay coil is energised, the relay contacts
close and a voltage supply is provided via a resistor to the relevant direction indicators. The IDM controls the timing
of the flash operations by continually removing and restoring the earth path to the direction indicator relay coil.
The BCU checks for the following inputs for performing the logic operations associated with the direction indicator
lamps:
lIgnition state.
lRH indicators selected.
lLH indicators selected.
lHazards selected.
lInertia switch hazard request.
lOne short indicator flash request (anti-theft system arming).
lTwo short indicator flash request (superlocking).
lOne long indicator flash request (anti-theft system disarming).
lAlarm flashing indicators (anti-theft alarm triggered).
The following outputs are provided by the BCU as a result of the inputs received and the logical operations performed:
lRH indicators enable.
lLH indicators enable.
lDirection indicator left message (link to IDM).
lDirection indicator right message (link to IDM).
Direction indicator lamp failure detection
The BCU uses the following logic inputs to determine if there is a direction indicator bulb failure or if the presence of
a trailer is detected. The BCU uses the information to decide which output to enable at any particular instance:
lRight direction indicators requested.
lLeft direction indicators requested.
lRH indicators current sense.
lLH indicators current sense.
If a direction indicator bulb failure or a trailer presence is detected, the following outputs can be generated depending
on the BCU logic states:
lTrailer detected.
lBulb failure detected.
lDirection indicator short circuit.
lDirection indicator relay stuck.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-29
Courtesy headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps for 30 seconds when the lock button on the remote transmitter is held down for
longer than 1 second. The headlamps will extinguish if the BCU receives either a lock or an unlock signal from the
remote transmitter.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the correct qualifying conditions for requesting
courtesy headlamps:
lIgnition state.
lRemote locking request.
lRemote unlocking request.
lLazy locking request.
If the ignition is off and a lazy locking request is received, the courtesy headlamps are switched on and an internal
timer is turned on in the BCU which operates for 30 seconds. If the 30 second timer expires or a request for remote
locking or remote unlocking is received, the courtesy headlamps will be turned off.
When main beam is selected, the IDM also provides a signal to the instrument pack to switch on the main beam
warning lamp. An additional signal 'main beam indicator disable' is used to prevent the daylight running lamps
illuminating the main beam indicator when the main beam is in the daylight running lamp state and the main beam
indicator disable signal is on.
Lights on alarm
The lights on alarm in the instrument pack operates when the driver's door is open and the side lamps or headlamps
are on. The system uses inputs from the driver's door switch and the lighting switch to determine the logical conditions
that need to occur for switching on the alarm. The BCU carries out the logic operation and communicates with the
instrument pack using the serial data bus; the instrument pack will be requested to sound the alarm if the logic inputs
indicate that the driver's door is open with the lights still on.
Supply voltage is provided through the lighting switch to the IDM which acts as the signal line to indicate that the lights
are on for the logic circuits in the IDM and BCU. When the driver's door is opened, a second feed is supplied to the
BCU through the driver's door switch to indicate the condition. In this logic condition (lights on and driver's door open)
the BCU signals the instrument pack to operate the audible warning. If the lights are switched off or the driver's door
is closed the logic condition will be changed and the audible warning will be switched off.
Daylight running lamps
The BCU operates the daylight running lamps (where fitted) via the IDM. The daylight running lamps option can be
programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer requirements, these are:
lOption 1– no daylight running lamps.
lOption 2 – on with main beam off.
lOption 3 – on with main and dipped beam off and gearbox not in Park.
The BCU will ensure the logical conditions are satisfied for the lamps to operate under the set conditions. The BCU
checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for providing an output to the daylight running
lamp relay:
lMain beam state.
lEngine running (link from instrument pack).
lDipped beam.
lGearbox state.
A voltage supply is fed to the coil of the daylight running lamp relay and the IDM. When the preconditions are satisfied
for daylight running lamp operation, the BCU sends a signal for the IDM to complete the circuit to earth to switch on
the daylight running lamps. The logical inputs are checked to ensure that the engine is running before switching the
relay to turn on the daylight running lamps. The engine running signal has to be present for at least 2 seconds before
the daylight running lamp relay can be switched on.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fog lamps
The BCU operates the rear fog lamps and the front fog lamps (where fitted) via the IDM. The BCU front fog lamp
operation can be programmed to operate under one of three set conditions. The BCU will ensure the logical conditions
are satisfied for the lamps to operate under the set conditions.
Front fog lamps
Front fog lamp operation is monitored by the BCU, which allows only the front fog lamps to operate when the side
lamps or headlamps are on. When the side lamps, headlamps or ignition switch is turned off, the BCU also switches
off the fog lamps. When the side or headlamps are switched on again, the front fog lamps will remain off unless the
front fog lamp switch is pressed to resume operation. If the rear fog guard lamps are selected on, switching off the
front fog lamps will also switch off the rear fog guard lamps.
When the fog lamp switch is operated, an earth path is completed and the BCU allows the fog lights to be switched
on providing the logical preconditions have been satisfied. The BCU then supplies a voltage supply to the fog lamp
relay, to illuminate the fog lamps.
The front fog lamps option can be programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer requirements,
these are:
lOption 1– not fitted.
lOption 2 – main beam no effect.
lOption 3 – off with main beam.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for providing an output to the front fog
lamp relay:
lIgnition state.
lMain beam state.
lSide lamps.
lDipped beam.
lFront fogs selected (press button, not latched).
If the ignition state is crank the state of the front fog relay is memorised and the relay is switched off. Pressing the
front fog switch during cranking will not be recognised. When the ignition state returns to Ignition after cranking, the
memorised front fog relay state is restored. If the ignition is turned off, the front fog relay is turned off.
For option 3 configuration, if the main beam is turned on the state of the front fog relay is memorised and the relay is
switched off. Pressing the front fog switch while main beam is on will not be recognised. When the Main beam state
returns to OFF, the memorised front fog relay state is restored.
In the event of a communications link failure while the front fog relay is on, the front fog relay will be switched off.
Rear fog lamps
The rear fog lamps operation is monitored by the BCU, which only allows the rear fog lamps to operate when the side
lamps or the headlamps are on. When the side lamps, headlamps or ignition is switched off, the rear fog lamps are
also switched off. When the side lamps or headlamps are switched on again, the rear fog lamps will not switch on
again unless reselected by operating the rear fog lamps switch. If front fog lamps are fitted, the rear fog lamps will be
switched off if the front fog lamps are switched off.
A supply voltage to the rear fog lamps relay is provided from a fuse in the passenger compartment fuse box, then
through two electronic switches in the IDM. With the lighting switch in the side lamp or headlamp position, an earth
path from the coil of the rear fog lamps relay completes the circuit through the two switches in the IDM to switch the
rear fog lamps on when the BCU receives a request signal from the rear fog lamps switch to turn the circuit on.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-31
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for providing an output to the rear fog
lamp relay:
lIgnition state.
lMain beam state.
lDipped beam.
lFront fogs relay.
lRear fogs selected (press button, not latched).
If the ignition state is crank the state of the rear fog relay is memorised and the relay is switched off. Pressing the front
fog switch during cranking will not be recognised. When the ignition state returns to Ignition after cranking, the
memorised rear fog relay state is restored. If the ignition is turned off, the rear fog relay is turned off.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the rear fog relay is on, the rear fog relay will remain on
until the ignition is turned off or the dipped/ main beam is turned off.
Interior courtesy lamps
To determine when to provide an interior courtesy lamps enable output, the BCU checks the following input
conditions:
lIgnition state.
lTransit mode.
lDriver's door open.
lPassenger or rear door open.
The courtesy lamps operate at full brightness when they are first switched on. The BCU then gradually dims the lamps
(fade-out) before completely switching them off. Fade-out occurs over a period of two seconds following the logical
control signal to turn off the lights. When a door is opened, the BCU provides earth paths from the interior lamps, the
load space lamp and the ignition switch illumination. The following table lists the courtesy lamps operation and
duration for holding the lamps on that occurs after the BCU has detected a condition that signals the courtesy lamps
should be switched on:
Instrument pack
The BCU communicates with the instrument pack to provide a range of functions.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-32 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Odometer update
The BCU can be programmed for one of two options:
lOption 1 – no odometer error warning.
lOption 2 – odometer error warning.
In order to provide an LCD flash request to the instrument pack via the communications link, the following inputs are
checked:
lIgnition state.
lInstrument pack odometer value (via the communications link).
lBCU odometer value.
The function is only active when the ignition state is on. The maximum allowed value is 999,999 miles (1,608,999
km).If the instrument pack odometer value is greater than the maximum allowed value, the maximum value is
assumed. The BCU odometer value is stored in EEPROM. If 16 identical values of the instrument pack odometer
reading is received consecutively, the instrument pack odometer value is compared with the BCU odometer value. If
the consecutive readings from the instrument pack differ, the BCU odometer value is incremented accordingly. If the
BCU odometer value is less than the instrument pack odometer value by up to 10 km, the BCU odometer value is set
equal to the instrument pack odometer value.
If the odometer warning option is enabled, and the contents of the instrument pack odometer value buffer is identical
to, or greater than BCU odometer value
± 10 km, the BCU sends an LED flash request to the instrument pack.
In the event of a communications link failure, this function will be unable to operate.
Gear position indicator illumination
On automatic gearbox models, two variations of illumination for the gear position indicators on the selector lever can
be programmed into the BCU. In option 1, illumination is provided when the ignition is on. In option 2, illumination is
enabled when the ignition is on and the side lamps are off.
Starter relay
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs and internal BCU conditions to determine whether or not to provide
an output to enable the starter relay:
lAutostart inhibit (vehicles with automatic gearbox only).
lSecurity start inhibit (immobilisation check).
lEngine running (link to instrument pack).
lEEPROM locked (internal check).
lIDM and BCU matched.
When the BCU receives a crank signal from the ignition switch, an earth path is completed to the starter relay coil,
provided that the security system has been de-activated. If the ECM has not received a valid unlock/ remobilise signal,
the starter relay will be disengaged and the engine stopped. The BCU also receives an engine running signal from
the instrument pack, so that if the ignition key is turned to the crank position while the engine is running, the starter
motor relay will not be engaged.
If the logic conditions are correct to allow starter operation, the completion of the earth path from the starter relay coil
to the BCU energises the coil and the relay contacts close to supply battery power to the starter motor.
When the ignition switch is released from the crank position, the power supply feed from the ignition switch to the
starter relay coil is interrupted and the relay contacts open to prevent further battery feed to the starter motor.
If a communications link failure is experienced, the BCU will be prevented from detecting the 'engine running'
condition and the BCU will default to assume that the engine is not running.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-33
Cruise control
The Neutral/ Reverse/ Park/ Brake selected output is used by the cruise control system. The BCU checks for the
following inputs:
lIgnition on.
lGearbox state.
lBrake switch activated.
For vehicles with manual transmission, Neutral/ Reverse/ Park/ Brake selected output is on if the ignition is on and
brake switch activated is on. Otherwise, the Neutral/ Reverse/ Park/ Brake selected output is off.
For vehicles with automatic transmission, the Neutral/ Reverse/ Park/ Brake selected output is on if the ignition is on
and brake switch activated is on, or if the ignition is on and 'gearbox state' is in Neutral, Park or Reverse. Otherwise
Neutral/ Reverse/ Park/ Brake selected output is off.
Shift interlock (where fitted)
On automatic gearbox models, the BCU and IDM combine to operate a shift interlock solenoid, so that the gear
selector lever can only be moved when certain logical conditions have been satisfied. Operation of the interlock may
be affected, if the battery becomes discharged.

+ AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - ZF4HP22 - 24, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
When the gear selector lever is in the Park position and the ignition is off, an interlock solenoid is de-energised, locking
the gear selector lever in the Park position.
The gear selector lever can only be moved from the Park position when the ignition is switched on and the brake pedal
is depressed. When these conditions are satisfied, the brake pedal switch signal is received by the BCU which then
signals the IDM to energise the interlock relay. When the interlock relay is energised, the interlock solenoid is
operated, unlocking the gear selector lever.
When the brake pedal is released, the feed to the BCU is removed and the shift interlock solenoid is de-energised.
The locking mechanism controlled by the solenoid will lock the gear selector lever once it is returned to the Park
position.
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.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-34 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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 the event of a communications link failure occurring while the transfer box enable is on, the output will be switched
off.
Gear position switch
On automatic gearbox models, the BCU provides an output which supplies power to the automatic gearbox gear
position switch. The BCU checks for the following inputs before it supplies power:
lIgnition on.
lAuxiliary.
When the ignition is on, the feed to the gear position switch is on. When the ignition is off and auxiliary is off for more
than 30 seconds, feed to the gear position switch is off.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-35
Fuel flap release
The fuel flap release solenoid only operates when the ignition switch is switched off, the anti-theft system is not
activated and the fuel flap release switch is pressed. If the BCU detects that these conditions have been satisfied, it
provides a path to earth for the fuel flap solenoid, so allowing the fuel flap to be opened.
To decide the correct conditions for providing a fuel flap enable output, the BCU checks the following input conditions:
lIgnition state.
lPerimetric alarm state.
If the battery state is not normal, the electric fuel flap enable is switched off.
Audible warnings
The BCU can request the instrument pack to generate an audible warning in response to logic conditions which have
been detected by the BCU and which need to be drawn to the driver's attention.

+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Seat belt warning
The BCU can be programmed to include seat belt warning using one of four options:
lOption 1 – warning on for 6 seconds.
lOption 2 – warning on for 6 seconds or until the seat belt is fastened.
lOption 3 – warning on for 6 seconds unless the seat belt is fastened.
lOption 4 – no warning.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs:
lIgnition on.
lSeat belt fastened.
Depending on the logic conditions of the inputs, the BCU provides the following outputs:
lAudible warning No.1 requested.
lSeat belt not fastened warning on instrument pack (via datalink to the instrument pack).
When programmed for option 1 operation, audible warning No. 1 is requested when the ignition switch is turned from
off to position II. The audible warning remains active for 6 seconds and a warning lamp on the instrument pack is
illuminated for the same duration.
When programmed for option 2 operation, audible warning No. 1 is requested when the ignition switch is turned from
off to position II. The audible warning remains active for 6 seconds or until the seat belt fastened signal is on and a
warning lamp on the instrument pack is illuminated for the same duration.
When programmed for option 3 operation, audible warning No. 1 is requested when the ignition switch is turned from
off to position II. The audible warning remains active for 6 seconds if the seat belt fastened signal is off; a warning
lamp on the instrument pack is illuminated for the same duration.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring, the audible and visual warning requests are not sent to the
instrument pack.
