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.

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:

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.

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
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-13
Battery Backed-up Sounder (BBUS)
The BBUS is located behind the rear quarter trim panel on the right hand side of the vehicle and is utilised as an
additional alarm warning device. It has a self contained power source allowing it to operate when the vehicle battery
is disconnected.
NOTE: Always disarm the BBUS before carrying out any procedures related to the BBUS.
Input/Output
The BBUS utilises a 12 volts power supply from fuse 20 (15 amperes) located in the passenger compartment fusebox
via a relay to charge the self contained battery.
When the alarm is triggered, the BCU is pulled high internally triggering the BBUS to sound continuously for 30
seconds.
The BCU sets the BBUS to its internal battery backed mode when the vehicle battery is disconnected.
If a mislock occurs the BCU triggers the BBUS for a period of 50 ms.
The BCU triggers the BBUS once for a period of 50 ms when an EKA code is requested.
When the EKA code is entered correctly, the BBUS will operate twice for a period of 50 ms on, 200 ms off.
The BBUS utilises a dedicated earth path.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-23
Depending on which market the vehicle is sold, either the vehicle horn, a specific alarm sounder, or a BBUS operates
in phase with the direction indicators when the alarm is triggered. The audible warning device operates for
approximately 30 seconds at 0.25 second on, and 0.25 second off. The BCU allows the alarm to be triggered up to 3
times in any armed period.
Theft deterrent LED
An LED located in the instrument pack indicates the status of the alarm system.
There are eight theft deterrent alarm configurations:
lNo handset low battery warning.
lHandset low battery warning.
lNo passive immobilisation.
lPassive immobilisation.
lEngine immobilised (ignition off, LED off).
lEngine immobilised (ignition off, LED flashes).
lNo alarm tampered indication.
lAlarm tampered indication.
The theft deterrent LED utilises a particular flash to show the status of the following:
lAlarm armed.
lEngine immobilised.
lAlarm tampered.
lHandset low battery warning.
Transit mode
To prevent excessive battery drain during transportation to overseas markets, the vehicle is placed in a transit mode
at the end of line test.
The following functions are disabled when the vehicle is in transit mode:
lVolumetric sensors.
lPassive immobilisation.
lMobilisation of the vehicle by use of door lock.
lIgnition key interlock.
lElectric seat enable time-out with drivers door open.
To exit this mode, switch on the ignition and simultaneously hold down the heated rear window and the rear fog lamp
switch for 2 seconds.
Transit mode can be entered using Testbook.

DRIVING AIDS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-8-11
Park Distance Control Detection Areas
aIntermittent Warning Tone
bContinuous Warning Tone
Detection Calculation
When operating in the combined transmitter and receiver mode, the sensor outputs a number ultrasonic pulses and
receives the reflected echo signal. The ECU amplifies the received echo signals and compares them with a
preprogrammed threshold to calculate the distance to the object. This is achieved by determining the elapsed time
between the transmission and reception of the ultrasonic signal.
When operating in receiver mode, the sensor receives echo signals transmitted by an adjacent sensor. This mode is
used to improve the accuracy of the system.
The detection cycle consists of the ECU operating one sensor in the combined transmitter and receiver mode and
transmitting a number of ultrasonic pulses. The ECU then switches the transmitting sensor and the adjacent sensor(s)
to receiver mode. After a short time delay, this sequence is repeated using a different sensor to transmit the ultrasonic
pulse and continues until all four sensors have output an ultrasonic signal. This sequence is completed in 100ms. The
ECU uses several measurements of the same sensors to remove errors from the calculation.
If the object is directly behind a sensor, the distance is calculated using the time between the transmission and
reception of the signal. If the object is positioned between two sensors, the ECU uses both signals to determine the
correct distance using triangulation.
To perform the triangulation calculation, the ECU must know the distance between the individual sensors in the
bumper. This information is stored in the ECU memory. From the received distance from each sensor and using the
known distance between adjacent sensors, the ECU can calculate the minimum distance from the vehicle to the
object.
When approaching several objects, the ECU recognises the distance from the vehicle to the nearest object.
