Door windows1
Window motor limit stop function
If repeated window activation (upldown cycles) exceeds one
minute, the
GM Ill deactivates the internal relays and disre-
gards any further
upldown requests. The GM Ill provides mo-
tor activation after a short duration but not for the full one
minute monitoring cycle.
The
GM Ill monitors the number of times a window motor is
activated. It counts each cycle and stores the number in
memory. Afler the stop function limit is reached and the win-
dow motor is deactivated, the
GM Ill slowly reverses the
stored count of activation until the stored number equals
0,
thus allowing the window motor to cool down.
WARNING-
* Always wear hand and eye protection when working with
brolen glass.
If a window is brolen, all of the glass bits should be
vacuumed out of the door cavity. Use a blunt
so-ewdi-iv-
er to clean out any remaining glass pieces from the
window guide rails.
When servicing the door windows, the harness con-
nector to the window regulator should always be dis-
connected to prevent pinching fingers in the moving
window mechanism.
Sedan and Sport Wagon doors are similar. Use the following
procedures for window service on these models.
WARNING-
E39 cars are iitted with side-impact airbags in the front
doors. Some are equipped with
airbags in the rear doors
as well. When
servicing the door windows on cars with
side-impact airbags, always disconnect the negative
(-)
battery cable. See 721 Airbag System (SRS) for cau-
tions and procedures relating to the
airbag system.
* Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery dis-
connection cautionsgiven
001 General Warnings and
Cautions.

/Central Locking and Anti-Theft
This section covers repair information for door, trunk and car-
go compartment locks, central locking, electronic
immob~liza-
tion (EWS) and anti-theft alarm (DWA).
€39 cars are equipped with sophisticated self-diagnostic elec-
trical systems. When experiencing malfunctions relating to
central locking. EWS or anti-theft systems, start the diagnosis
process using the
BMW service tester DIS, GT 1, MoDiC or
equivalent scan tool. An advanced diagnostic scan tool can
usually pinpoint electrical faults quickly and safely.
Additional electrical information can be found in:
610 Electrical Component Locations
ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams
Central locking in E39 vehicles controls the door
locks, trunk
or tailgate lock and fuel filler flap lock. The control module for
the Central Body Electronics system (ZKE
Ill), lknown as the
General Module (GM
Ill), controls central locking.
ZKE
Ill manages the following central locking related func-
tions:
Central locking
* Keyless entry
Key memory
Power trunk release
Electric opening of tailgate
DWA alarm system
Diagnosis
General Module
4 The General Module (GM) (arrow) is responsible for the op-
eration of central body electronics. The GM is located behind
the glove compartment.
Based on input information, the GM uses internal transistors
to switch current flow (providing voltage or ground) through
circuits and actuators. Actuators are the final controlling de-
vices used by GM to operate or control various output func-
tions such as relays and motors.
The accompanying schematic, Central locking inputs and
outputs, illustrates the GM central locking system.

Key Memory
Whenever one of the FZV keys is used to lock or unlock the
car, the user is identified by the GM. A maximum of four
keys
can be programmed with the Key Memoryfeature. The use of
the personalized key then triggers Car Memory functions
such as heating
I AIC (IHKA) settings or memory seat position
adjustment.
Most programming of Key Memory requires the use of
BMW
scan tools (DISplus, GT1 or MoDiC). However, features such
as
IHKA blower speed and temperature store automatically
without the use of scan tools.
Available Key Memory functions vary based on vehicle equip-
ment. The functions that can be set include:
Automatic locking after start off (vehicle speed)
Selective locking
Heating
1 AJC blower speed, heated or cooled air distribu-
tion, automatic blower setting
Trunk lid soft close (SCA)
< The optional sofl close trunk feature is called SCA. The SCA
actuator is located in the panel below the trunk lid.
1. SCA motor and actuator located behind trunk trim in
rear wall of
trunlc
2. Lower edge of trunlc seal
3. Cam in open position
4. Cam in closed position
The actuator is controlled by a load relay in the General Mod-
ule (GM). The closing cam is mounted on an eccentric that is
driven by the actuator. The cam always turns
180" in the
same direction to open or close the trunk.

Central Locking and Anti-Theft
Any of these input requests to the GM activates the tailgate
latch motor. The
GM will also switch on the interior lights with
a tailgate unlock request.
The rearwindow is opened with the release switch on the rear
wiper arm cover. Pressing the switch signals the GM to acti-
vate the rear window release relay.

On-Board Diagnostics
Catalyst monitoring. Thisstrategy monitors the outputofthe
precatalyst and post-catalyst oxygen sensors, comparing the
oxygen content going into the catalytic converter to the
oxygen leaving the converter.
The diagnostic executive
lknows that most of the oxygen
should be used up during the oxidation phase. If it detects
higherthan programmed values, afault is set and the MIL
illuminates.
Misfire detection. This strategy monitors crankshaft speed
fluctuations and determines if an enoine misfire occurs bv
monitoring variations in speed between each crankshaft
sensortrigger point. This strategy is so finely tuned that it can
determine the severity of the misfire.
The system determines
if a misfire is occurring, as well as
other pertinent misfire
information such as:
Specific
cylinder(s)
Severity of the misfire event
Emissions relevant or catalyst damaging
Misfire detection is an on-going monitoring process that is
only disabled under certain limited conditions.
Secondary air injection monitoring. Secondary air
injection is used to reduce HC and CO emissions during
engine warm up. Immediately following a cold engine start
(-1 0" to 40°C), fresh air (and therefore oxygen) is pumped
directly into the exhaust
manifold. By injecting additional
oxygen into the exhaust manifold, catalyst warm-up time is
reduced.
Secondary air system components are:
Electric air injection pump
* Electric pump relay
* Non-return valve
Vacuum
I vent valve
- Stainless steel air injection pipes
Vacuum reservoir
The secondary air system is monitored via the use
of the pre-
catalyst oxygen sensors. Once the air pump is active and air
is injected into the system, the signal at the oxygen sensor
reflects a lean condition. If the oxygen sensor signal does not
change, a fault is set and the faulty
bank(s) identified. If after
completing the next cold startafault is again present, the MIL
illuminates.
