LOCKING
SYSTEM
AND
ELECTRONIC
IMMOBILIZATION
The
central
locking
system
uses
electrical
lock
actuators
at
each
door
and
at
the
trunk
lid
.
The
locking
system
can
be
ac-
tuated
by
either
front
door
lock
or
by
the
luggage
compartment
lock
.
Onsome
1994
and
later
cars,
an
additional
remote
con-
trol
keypadcan
also
be
used
to
activate
the
lock
and
anti-theft
systems
.
When
the
key
is
tuned
to
the
lock
position,
a
micro-switch
signals
a
central
control
module
to
lock
all
doors,
luggage
compartment,
gas
tank
flap
and,
in
later
convertibles,
the
glove
box
lid
.
Where
applicable,
this
also
arms
the
anti-theft
system
.

used
in

.
In
early

cars
(model
years
1992
and
1993),
the
locking
system
is
controlled
through
the
central

GENERAL
Electrical
System
Safety
Precautions
A
brief
description
of
the
principal
parts
of
the
electrical
sys-
tem
is
presented
here
.
Also
covered
here
are
basic
electrical
system
troubleshooting
tips
.
Voltage
and
Polarity
The
vehicle
electrical
system
is
a
12-volt
direct
current
(DC)
negative-ground
system
.
A
voltage
regulator
controls
system
voltage
at
approximately
the
12-volt
rating
of
the
battery
.
Al¡
circuits
are
grounded
by
direct
or
indirect
connection
to
the
negative
(-)
terminal
of
the
battery
.
A
number
of
ground
con-
nections
throughout
the
car
connect
the
wiring
harness
to
chassis
ground
.
These
circuits
are
completedby
the
battery
cable
or
ground
strap
between
the
body
and
the
battery
nega-
tive
(-)
terminal
.
Wiring,
Fuses
and
Relays
Nearly
all
parts
of
the
wiring
harnessconnect
to
compo-
nents
of
the
electrical
system
with
keyed,
push-on
connectors
that
lock
into
place
.
Notable
exceptions
arethe
heavy
battery
cables
and
the
starter
wiring
.
The
wiring

Please
read
the
following
warnings
and
cautions
before
do-
ing
any
work
on
your
electrical
system
.
WARNING
-
"
The
cars
covered
by
this
manual
are
equipped
with
aSupplemental
Restraint
System
(SRS)
that
automatically
deploys
one
or
more
airbags
.
Each
airbag
unit
houses
an
explosive
powerful
charge
.
Any
work
involving
the
SRS
system
should
only
be
performed
byan
authorized
BMW
dealer
.
Making
repairs
without
the
proper
knowledge
and
special
test
equipment
may
cause
serious
per-
sonal
injury
.
See
721
Airbag
System
(SRS)
.
"
The
ignition
system
of
the
car
operates
at
lethal
voltages
.
People
with
pacemakers
or
weak
hearts
should
not
expose
themselves
to
the
ignition
sys-
tem
.
Extra
caution
mustbe
taken
when
working
on
the
ignition
system
or
when
servicing
theen-
gine
while
it
is
runningor
the
key
is
on
.
See
120
Ignition
System
for
additional
ignition
system
warnings
and
cautions
.
"
Before
operating
the
starter
without
starting
the
engine
(as
when
making
a
compressfon
test),
dis-
able
the
ignition
system
as
described
in
120
Igni-
tion
System
.
"
Keep
hands,
clothing
and
other
objects
clear
of
the
electric
radiator
coollng
fan
when
working
on
a
warm
engine
.
The
fan
may
start
at
any
tíme,
even
when
the
ignition
is
switched
off

ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM-GENERAL
Voltage
and
Voltage
Drops
The
wires,
connectors,
and
switches
that
carry
current
are
designed
with
very
low
resistance
so
that
current
flows
with
a
minimum
loss
of
voltage
.
A
voltage
drop
is
caused
by
higher
than
normal
resistance
in
a
circuit
.
This
additional
resistance
actually
decreases
or
stops
the
flow
of
current
.
A
voltage
drop
can
be
noticed
byproblems
ranging
fromdim
headlights
to
sluggish
wipers
.
Some
common
sources
of
voltage
drops
are
corroded
or
dirty
switches,
dirty
or
corroded
connections
or
contacts,
and
loose
or
corroded
ground
wires
and
ground
con-
nections
.
A
voltage
drop
test
is
a
good
test
to
make
if
current
is
flowing
through
the
circuit,
butthe
circuit
is
not
operating
correctly
.
A
voltage
drop
test
will
help
to
pinpoint
a
corroded
ground
strap
or
a
faulty
switch
.
Normally,
there
should
be
less
than
1
volt
drop
across
most
wires
or
closed
switches
.
A
voltage
drop
across
a
connector
or
short
cable
shouldnot
exceed

NOTE-

If

NOTE-
The
maximum
voltage
drop
in
an
automotive
circuit,
as
recommended
by
the
Society
of
AutomotiveEngineers
(SAE),
is
as
follows
:
0

;
0
.1
Volts
for
high
current
connections
;
0
.2
volts
for
high
current
cables
;
and
0
.3volts
for
switch
or
solenoidcon-
tacts
.
On
longer
wires
or
cables,
the
drop
may
be
slight-ly
higher
.
In
any
case,
a
voltage
drop
of
more
than
1.0volt
usually
indicates
a
problem
