DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING (CDL) - FROM 02MY
The Central Door Locking (CDL) system is a new feature for 2002MY Defender.
NOTE: CDL operates all doors on Station Wagon and County Station Wagons. On all other
Defender 2002MY variants, CDL operates on the driver and front and rear passenger doors only.
General
CDL operates on all doors, including the tail door and is operated by pressing the appropriate button on the
remote handset, using the vehicle key in the drivers door lock or using the drivers door sill button.
The CDL system introduces electrically operated door latches which are controlled by the anti-theft alarm ECU,
located behind the instrument pack. The anti-theft ECU receives a permanent power supply from fuse 6 in the
passenger compartment fuse box. Each CDL latch motor is connected by two wires to the anti-theft ECU which
alternately supplies power and earth connections to drive each motor to the lock or unlock positions.
If the latch motors are continually operated in a short period of time, the anti-theft ECU will suspend all CDL latch
motor operation for 15 seconds to prevent the motors from overheating. Before suspension occurs the anti-theft
ECU ensures that all the doors are left in the unlocked condition.
If the vehicle is locked, and the key is in the ignition switch or the ignition is on and the anti-theft alarm ECU inertia
switch is tripped, all doors will be unlocked immediately and the hazard warning lamps will operate. To prevent
accidental relocking, all latch motors will be inhibited until the anti-theft ECU senses that the drivers door is
opened with the key removed from the ignition switch.
Locking of the vehicle using the remote handset is inhibited with the key in the ignition switch.
Slam Locking
With the introduction of CDL, slam locking of the drivers door is disabled. If an attempt is made to slam lock the
vehicle, the anti-theft alarm ECU will unlock all doors.
CDL Using the Drivers Door Sill Button
Each door has a sill button to allow that door to be individually locked from inside the vehicle. The drivers door sill
button has additional functionality which allows all doors to be locked from inside the vehicle from this one button.
When the driver door sill lock button is depressed, the CDL system enters a sill locked state, where all doors are
locked but immobilisation and perimetric and volumetric sensing is suspended. CDL using the drivers sill lock
button can be achieved with or without the key in the ignition switch and without the ignition being on.
If the CDL is in the sill locked state and the lock button on the remote handset is pressed, the volumetric and
perimetric functions of the alarm system will become active and active engine immobilisation will be invoked.

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.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Interior Lamp Functionality
The anti-theft alarm ECU controls the interior lamp functionality. When the lamps are extinguished, they fade out
to the off condition over a 2 second period.
The lamps are turned on by:
Disarming the alarm using the remote handset
Opening any door.
When the lamps are on, they will be extinguished by the following actions:
If all doors are closed, the lamps will be extinguished after a 15 second delay period
If any door is left open, the lamps will be extinguished after an 8 minute delay period
If one of the above delay periods is active and the ignition is switched on or the alarm is armed, the lamps will
be extinguished.
ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM SELF TEST
The anti-theft alarm ECU has a self test feature which allows all alarm inputs to be tested. To enter self test mode
the following steps must be completed as follows:
1.Ensure that the driver’s door is closed and the driver’s window is open
2.Open the bonnet and with assistance depress and hold the bonnet switch
3.Release the bonnet switch and within 0.5 seconds turn the ignition switch on to position II
4.Quickly open the driver’s door
5.Turn the ignition switch to the off position
6.Turn the ignition switch back to position II
7.If the self test mode has been entered successfully, confirmation will be given by the alarm sounder. If the
ECU has not entered self test mode, repeat the above procedure.
Once in self test mode, the following test inputs will cause the security LED to illuminate and the engine
immobilised warning lamp and the hazard warning lamps to flash. When an input is operated, non illumination of
the security LED, the engine immobilised warning lamp and the hazard warning lamps indicates a fault for that
input.
Perform the following steps to test each input for correct operation:
Close and open the drivers door
Open and close each of the passenger doors and the tail door in turn
Close and open the bonnet (depress switch if bonnet still open)
With drivers door closed, lock and unlock the driver’s door using the vehicle key if spare key available. If spare
key is not available, operate driver’s sill button through open window
Press the unlock button of the remote handset. This enters the volumetric self test mode and all other inputs
will be disabled. Make a movement inside the vehicle. When the volumetric sensor is triggered the security
LED will flash.
To exit the self test mode, turn the ignition switch to the off position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION For 02MY a new fascia console has been introduced to accommodate the additional switches for electric windows
etc.
The console comprises a plastic moulding secured to the fascia with five screws. The new console allows existing
switches to be repositioned and has provided the opportunity to commonise the switches with other Land Rover
models. The switches and components located in the console are as follows:
Cigar lighter (if fitted)
Headlamp levelling control
LH and RH heated front seat switches (if fitted)
LH and RH front window lift switches
Front fog lamp switch (if fitted)
Rear fog lamp switch
Rear wash/wipe switch
Rear wiper switch

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The Heated Front Screen (HFS) is a new feature for 2002MY which is available as part of a cold climate pack on
Td5 engine variants only. The HFS system comprises an HFS ECU, an HFS relay, a controlling switch and the
HFS elements.
The HFS comprises two elements laminated in the windscreen. The elements are connected by bus bars within
the screen and therefore the HFS has only one feed and one earth connector.
The HFS is controlled by the HFS ECU which determines when HFS operation is permitted. The ECU also has a
timer which allows HFS operation for up to 8 minutes. The HFS ECU is located behind the instrument pack,
adjacent to the dim/dip relay. The ECU is connected by a multiplug. The ECU receives an ignition feed via the
satellite fuse box and an engine running signal from the engine oil pressure switch.
A non-latching switch for HFS operation is located in the fascia. The switch has a tell-tale lamp to indicate when
the HFS screen is operative.
The HFS relay is located in the under seat fuse box and receives a permanent battery voltage supply via fusible
link 1 in the under seat fuse box. The relay coil is connected to the HFS ECU and an earth point. When the relay is
operated, battery voltage is supplied from the relay, via fuse 25 in the passenger compartment fuse box to the
HFS element.
When the HFS switch is depressed, a momentary earth path is completed from the HFS ECU, through the switch
to earth. This is sensed by the ECU as a request for HFS operation. If the ECU receives an ignition on signal and
an oil pressure signal, it allows HFS operation. The ECU provides an output to the coil of the HFS relay. When the
coil is energised, the contacts close and battery voltage, via fusible link 1 in the under seat fuse box is supplied to
the HFS element, via fuse 25 in the passenger compartment fuse box. The feed is also supplied via a splice joint
to the HFS switch to illuminate the tell tale lamp in the switch.
The HFS ECU will allow screen operation for up to 8 minutes, after which it removes the feed to the HFS relay
coil, which, after the contacts open, removes the supply to the HFS element and simultaneously extinguishing the
tell tale lamp in the switch. If, during the timed operation period, the HFS ECU receives an additional request
signal from operation of the switch, HFS operation is stopped.
When operating, the HFS element draws approximately 25 Amps. To prevent excess drain on the vehicle battery,
if the ignition on signal and/or the oil pressure switch (engine running) signal is lost, the HFS ECU de-energises, if
already operating, or will not energise the HFS relay.
