PAINT Clinch Panels (eg Door skins etc.)
1. Abrade primer on new and existing panel joint
faces, and clean using a solvent wipe.
2. Apply metal-to-metal adhesive where applicable.
3. Where joints are to be spot welded, apply
suitable weld-through, zinc rich primer to weld
areas.
4. Where joints are to be MIG welded, apply zinc
rich primer in adjacent areasbut leave the
welded area untreated.
5. To retain the panel whilst clinching the flanges,
tack spot weld or plug weld as appropriate.
6. Clean the panel with a solvent wipe.
7. Treat bare metal areas with a suitable etch
phosphate process.
8. Re-prime affected areas as necessary as for
rectifying transit damage.See this section.
NOTE: Replacement doors, bonnets and
tailgates must be treated with a suitable
seam sealer on clinched seams, following
the primer coat.
Paint Refinishing
1. Seal all accessible exterior and interior seams
with an approved seam sealer. Certain joints
such as sill lower flange seams must be left
unsealed.
2. Apply a suitable anti-chip primer where
specified.
3. Apply a two-pack paint refinishing system.
4. Repair any damage to underbody sealers either
at this stage or before paint operations.Paint Repairs
Before carrying out paintwork repairs, the vehicle
must be thoroughly cleaned using either a steam
cleaner or high-pressure washer.
Wash locally repaired areas using a mild
water-mixable detergent and wipe them clean with
solvent, immediately prior to paint application.
Abrade damaged paintwork where bare metal has
been exposed until the metal is clean and extends
beyond the area of immediate damage. Treat the bare
metal with an etch phosphate to remove all traces of
rust and provide a key for new paint coats. Re-treat
the affected area using either a separate acid-etch
primer and two-pack surfacer or an integrated etch
primer/filler, and follow with a two-pack paint system.
Those surfaces not receiving paint must be treated
with a cavity wax following paint operations.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION SECURITY AND CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM - FROM 02MY
The following description details the functionality and operation of the 10AS Security and Central Door Locking
(CDL) System fitted to 2002MY Defender. The system contains some new features and also retains some
features from previous Defender models. The alarm system and CDL system are controlled by the 10AS anti-theft
alarm ECU.
New door lock barrels are introduced and use the same key as the ignition switch barrel, thereby eliminating the
requirement for a separate key for the doors.
NOTE: Some markets will only have some of the features described and some will have no
security or central door locking functions.
The security system comprises the following components:
10AS anti-theft alarm ECU
Remote handset transmitters
Transponder coil
Volumetric sensor
CDL actuators
Bonnet switch
Driver’s door key barrel switch
Door switches
Bonnet switch
Battery Backed-Up Sounder (BBUS) or alarm sounder

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ANTI-THEFT ALARM - FROM 02MY
The alarm and immobilisation system on 2002MY Defender is similar to that used on Discovery Series I (LJ)
models from 1996MY. The alarm system comprises the anti-theft alarm ECU, bonnet and door switches and a
volumetric sensor.
Anti-Theft Alarm ECU
The anti-theft alarm ECU is located behind the instrument pack and receives a permanent battery supply via fuses
6 and 7 in the under seat fuse box. The ECU also receives a battery supply via the ignition switch position II and
fuse 1 in the passenger compartment fuse box. The ECU is connected to the various supporting components by
two harness connectors.
The ECU controls the alarm system (perimetric and volumetric security), CDL system, engine immobilisation
system (Td5 only) and various other vehicle functions including direction indicators and interior lamps.
The anti-theft alarm ECU incorporates an RF receiver and antenna for reception of RF signals from the remote
handset for locking and alarm arming. The antenna is unterminated at one end, and for optimum performance the
antenna must not be wound around adjoining harnesses.
The anti-theft alarm ECU operates at one of two frequencies which are identified by a label on the unit. The
frequencies are:
433 MHz - Europe, Gulf States, South Africa
315 MHz - North America, South East Asia, Japan, Australia.
The anti-theft alarm ECU also incorporates an integral inertia switch. In the event of an impact of sufficient severity
to trigger the inertia switch when the ignition is on, the ECU will unlock all doors and operate the hazard warning
lamps. The ECU will remain in this condition for a pre-programmed period of 2 minutes. To reinstate CDL
functionality and to deactivate the hazard warning lamps, the ignition should be turned off and then on after the 2
minute timer has expired.
NOTE: There is a separate inertia switch for fuel cut off.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Door and Bonnet Switches
The bonnet switch is located at the rear of the bonnet aperture on the bulkhead. The door switches are located on
the’A’posts for the front doors, the’B’posts for the rear doors and on the inside face of the tail door aperture.
The drivers door switch and the bonnet switch are connected to the anti-theft alarm ECU on individual single
wires. The remaining passenger doors and, if applicable, the tail door are jointly connected on a single wire to the
ECU. If a fault occurs which involves incorrect mislock signals, alarm triggers and interior lamp operation, the door
switch earth may be the cause of incorrect operation.
If any door or the bonnet is opened, the switch closes and completes an earth path to the anti-theft alarm ECU.
This completed earth path input is sensed by the ECU, which, if armed, will sound the BBUS or alarm sounder.
The ECU also controls, via the door switches and ignition on/off signals, the operation of the interior lamps.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Perimetric Protection
Perimetric protection is the monitoring of each opening door or bonnet to unauthorised intrusion. The anti-theft
alarm ECU uses the door and bonnet switches described previously to determine when illegal intrusion has
occurred.
If a door/bonnet is left open when the alarm system is armed, the ECU will determine a mislock situation which is
indicated by non operation of the hazard warning lamps. If the drivers door is left open, the security LED in the
instrument pack will be illuminated for the 10 second confirmation period. If any other door or the bonnet is left
open the security LED will remain off for the 10 second confirmation period. After the confirmation period, the LED
will revert to the 1Hz deterrent flash.
If the door/bonnetis subsequently closed, the hazard warning lamps will flash to show that full perimetric protection
is now invoked. The security LED will also resume the 10 second confirmation flash.
If only the bonnet is left open, all doors will have perimetric protection and volumetric protection will also be set. If
a door is left open, the volumetric protection is suspended until that door is subsequently closed.
Volumetric Protection
The vehicle alarm system can be armed with or without volumetric protection activated. If volumetric protection is
required, the vehicle must be locked using the lock button on the remote handset. If volumetric protection is not
required, because a pet is to be left in the vehicle for instance, the vehicle must be locked using the vehicle key in
the drivers door lock.
When the vehicle is locked using the remote handset, the volumetric sensor will wait for a period of 15 seconds
before arming. This allows time for the air in the vehicle to settle and prevent incorrect activation of the alarm.
If volumetric protection is set and there is a disturbance in the vehicle, i.e., a window left open or a moving object
in the vehicle, within the 15 second period, the volumetric sensor will not activate. The sensor must detect no
disturbance for the full 15 second period before arming.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Security LED
The security LED has a number of functions to indicate anti-theft alarm system status. The LED is located in the
speedometer housing in the instrument pack. The LED receives a permanent battery supply via fusible link 6 in
the under seat fuse box. The LED is connected to the anti-theft alarm ECU which earths the connection when LED
operation is required. When the LED is not required to be illuminated, the anti-theft alarm ECU holds the
connection at battery voltage, keeping the LED extinguished.
When the system is armed and the bonnet and all doors are closed, the LED flashes quickly for a 10 second
confirmation period and confirms that perimetric and volumetric systems are armed. After the 10 second
confirmation period the LED flash changes to a slow flash to confirm that the alarm and immobiliser systems are
armed and to act as deterrent to thieves.
The LED also conveys CDL system information and this functionality is described in the Central Door Locking
(CDL) section.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CDL Using the Key
The driver and the passenger front doors are fitted with key barrel locks. Using the vehicle key in the passenger
door will only lock or unlock that door. Using the key in the drivers door will operate the CDL system and lock or
unlock all doors.
NOTE: The passenger door key barrel is connected to the door latch and has no electrical input to
the anti-theft alarm ECU. The driver door key barrel is also connected to the door latch and its
operation is monitored by the ECU only via the latch motor and the two wires connected to it.
When the vehicle is locked using the key in the drivers door, only CDL and perimetric protection is invoked.
Volumetric protection and active immobilisation is not initiated.
CDL Using the Remote Handset
The remote handset has two buttons; lock and unlock. A single press on the lock button will lock all doors and
invoke perimetric and volumetric protection and active immobilisation. Remote locking is inhibited if the
transponder coil senses that the key is in the ignition switch.
When the vehicle is locked, a single press of the unlock button will unlock all doors and disable perimetric and
volumetric protection. Immobilisation is only disabled using the transponder coil and the remote handset or the
EKA procedure.
Security LED
In addition to the alarm system status indications, the security LED also displays CDL system status.
The system confirms that the drivers door is open by illuminating the LED for the 10 second confirmation period. If
any other door or the bonnet is open, the LED remains unlit for the 10 second confirmation period. After the 10
second confirmation period the LED reverts to the slow flash deterrent mode if the alarm is armed.
