WIPERS AND WASHERS
84-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Front flick wipe
Flick wipe operation will only activate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position I or II.
lFront flick switch is operated.
Pressing the flick wipe switch operates the front wiper motor at high speed. The front wiper motor operates as long
as the flick switch is activated. Releasing the flick switch causes the front wiper motor to run through the park switch
circuitry. The park switch only permits low speed operation. Thus if the flick switch is pressed and immediately
released, the wipers operate at low speed.
Rear intermittent wipe variable delay
The rear intermittent wipe variable delay operation allows the driver to adjust the interval between wipes to suit local
conditions. Rear variable delay operation only activates if the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch in position I or II.
lFront wash/ wipe switch on intermittent.
lRear wipe switch is operated.
The BCU determines the desired delay interval based on the setting of the variable delay switch. The rear wash/ wipe
delay is nominally twice as long as that of the front. This information passes from the IDM to the rear wiper relay and
activates the rear wiper motor.
If the delay duration is decreased during operation of the rear wiper, the wipers immediately operate once and the
delay cycle is reset.
If the delay duration is increased during operation of the rear wiper, the delay cycle is automatically increased by the
BCU.
Reverse wiping
Reverse wiping operates the rear wiper motor when reverse gear is selected. The transmission must be in reverse
for longer then 0.5 seconds before reversing wipe activates. Reversing wipe activates if the following conditions are
met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lReverse gear is selected.
lRear wiper or front wipers operating.
If the rear wiper is active in any mode when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper activates for 4 second. After 4
seconds the rear wiper operates in a delay operation at the same delay interval set by the variable delay switch until
reverse gear is deselected.
If the front wipers are operating on either low or high speed when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper activates
continuously until reverse gear is deselected.
In order to enable reversing wipe functions, the BCU utilises the reversing light switch located within the transmission
to determine when reverse gear has been selected.
If the front intermittent wipe is active when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper completes 2 cycles before operating
at the same intermittent delay as the front wipers.
Rear wipe
Rear wipe operation will only activate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lRear wipe switch is operated.
Operating the rear wiper switch provides an earth input to the BCU. The BCU tells the IDM to activate the rear wiper
relay, which provides battery voltage to the wiper motor through the normally closed contacts of the park switch.

WIPERS AND WASHERS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 84-19
Rear wash
Rear wash will only operate when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch is in position II.
lRear wash switch operated.
Operating the rear washer switch for longer than 0.4 second allows the rear washer pump motor and rear wipers to
run as long as the switch is held. The wipers run for 4 seconds after the rear washer switch is released. Flicking the
rear washer switch energises the rear washer pump motor for 0.4 second.
The rear washer operation has a higher priority than the intermittent wipe operation. If the intermittent wipe is active
when a rear washer operation is initiated, the wash cycle executes and the intermittent wipe is re-instated at the end
of the washer operation.
Wiper park switch
The park switch allows the wipers to come to rest in the park position when the wipe switch is turned off in mid-wipe.
The park switch consists of a positive and a negative contact. These two contacts are described as closed at park
and closed when operating. When the wipers first start, the park switch is in the closed at park position. A relay
controls battery voltage to the motor. Battery voltage passes through this relay contact to move the wiper motor from
the park position.
When the motor moves, the park switch moves to the closed when operating position. Battery voltage to this relay
contact is direct from fuse 19. Battery voltage passes through this contact to keep the wiper motor running. The wiper
motor operates for one complete revolution until the park switch moves to the closed at park position again.
Switching off the wipers removes battery voltage from the closed at park contact. When the wipers reach the closed
at park switch an earth is applied and the motor stops abruptly.
Headlamp power wash
Headlamp power wash activates when the following conditions are met:
lIgnition switch in position II.
lHeadlamps switched on.
lFront wash switch operated.
lBCU counter allows headlamp power wash.
Operating the front washer switch with the headlamps switched on energises the IDM, supplying a voltage to the
headlamp powerwash relay, which operates the headlamp powerwash pump and increments a counter within the
BCU. This counter prevents the headlamp powerwash pump from operating every time the front washer switch is
activated. Headlamp powerwash is only operational every third front wash cycle, providing the headlamps are on.
The counter resets when the ignition switch is turned off.
When the BCU permits headlamp power wash operation, the pump motor operates only for 0.5 second.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-3
BCU outputs
The BCU processes the input signals it receives and uses the information to determine the control outputs that need
to be established for any given set of conditions. The BCU provides controlled outputs for the following systems:
lInterior courtesy lamps.
lFuel flap release actuator.
lAnti-theft status LED.
lEngine Control Module.
lDoor lock actuators.
lDirection indicators and hazard warning lamps.
lHeadlamps.
lAlarm sounder.
lVehicle horns.
lBattery backed sounder.
lStarter relay.
lPassive re-mobilisation exciter coil.
Simultaneous switching of outputs in different units is limited by the bus transfer time, but the skew is no longer than
100 ms for either the BCU or the IDM. When the processor is reset, all outputs are switched off until the inputs have
been read for the first time to check current condition.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-15
Electric seats
The BCU controls the logical operation of the electrically operated front seats. Two modes of operation are available:

+ SEATS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - electric seats.
lElectric seat adjustment is enabled if the ignition is on or the driver's door is opened for a short time period.
lElectric seat adjustment is enabled if the ignition is on and the driver's door is closed.
The seats are operated by four electric motors which control the seat cushion rear up/ down, the seat cushion front
up/ down, seat cushion forward/ rearward and seat squab recline. The electrically powered lumbar adjustment in each
seat is operated by a single motorised air pump and a solenoid located on the seat squab frame. The air pump inflates
a cushion in the seat squab and the solenoid operates a valve to deflate the cushion. The seat squab and cushion
may also contain heater elements to provide heated seat operation.
The switches for electrically operated seats are located either side of the centre console.
Direction indicators and hazard warning lamps
The direction indicator lamps are operated from a three position direction indicator switch on the left hand, steering
column stalk. The BCU only allows the lamps to work as direction indicators when the ignition switch is in position II.
The BCU also controls the lamps to operate as hazard warning lamps and as a visual warning for the anti-theft system,
in which cases all lamps flash simultaneously irrespective of the ignition switch position.
System control of the direction indicators and hazard warning lamps is provided by the BCU operating with the IDM
and two electronic relays located in the passenger compartment fuse box. The IDM and relays are integral parts of
the passenger compartment fuse box and cannot be serviced individually. The serial data bus is used for
communication of status and operation requests between the BCU, IDM and instrument pack.
The hazard warning lamps are operated from a latching pushbutton switch located on the fascia.
All direction indicator/ hazard warning lamp bulbs are rated at 5 Watts.
Headlamps
The BCU contains a feature which allow the vehicle headlamps to be turned on when the remote transmitter is
pressed (courtesy headlamps).
For markets with daylight running lamps, the BCU controls the logical operation of the daylight running lamps. Options
are daylight running lamps are on if the main beam headlamps are off, or the daylight running lamps are on with main
and dipped beam off and the gearbox not in Park.
Front fog lamps
For markets with front fog lamps fitted, the BCU controls the operation of the front fog lamps. Options can be selected
so that the fog lamps will operate with or without the headlamps on main beam.
Instrument pack
The BCU communicates with the instrument pack via a serial data bus.

+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
lThe instrument pack provides the BCU and IDM with details of vehicle speed.
lSignals are provided from the IDM to the instrument pack and BCU when the direction indicator lamps are active.
lFor certain markets, the BCU provides a signal to the instrument pack for indicating when the transfer box is in
neutral.
lThe IDM can signal the instrument pack to illuminate a trailer warning lamp. This operates when the IDM senses
that the current drawn by the indicator circuit exceeds a preset threshold.
lThe odometer reading displayed on the instrument pack LCD screen is also stored in non volatile memory in the
BCU. Whenever the ignition is turned from position I to position II, the instrument pack and the BCU compare
their stored values.
lThe gear selector position is displayed on the instrument pack LCD screen under the direction of the BCU.
Starting
The starting system comprises a starter motor and solenoid located at the rear right hand side of the engine. A starter
relay controlled by the BCU is used to supply battery power for starter solenoid operation. The starter motor receives
its feed directly from the battery.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-25
Rear wipers and washers
The rear wiper is initially operated for a period of 4 seconds when the rear wiper switch is pressed, to complete two
full cycles. After this, the rear wiper will operate every other time the front wiper completes a wipe operation. During
the wipe operation, the front and rear wipers are synchronised, and changes to the delay period during intermittent
wipe will change the delay period for both front and rear wipers.
Operation of the rear washer switch causes the washer motor to operate for as long as the switch is operated. The
wiper also operates while the switch is depressed and for a further 4 seconds after the switch is released.
The BCU checks for the following inputs to determine when to provide the rear wiper enable signal:
lIgnition state.
lRear wiper switch.
lFront intermittent wiper rate.
lFront intermittent wiper switch.
If the ignition switch is in the off or crank position, the rear wipers are not active and the rear wiper enable output is
switched off.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the rear intermittent wipe programme is in operation, the
rear wiper enable output is switched off.
Reverse gear wipe
The BCU changes the operation of the rear wiper when the front wiper is active and reverse gear is selected. The rear
wiper operation rate used when the preconditions have been satisfied depend on the prevailing front wiper operating
mode and the position of the rear wiper switch. If the rear wiper is on or the front wiper is operating at an intermittent
rate when reverse gear is selected, the BCU will operate the rear wiper continuously for 4 seconds via the IDM. After
the initial period, the rear wiper will operate at the same rate as the front wiper.
The BCU checks for the following inputs to determine when to provide the rear wiper enable signal if the vehicle is in
reverse gear:
lIgnition state.
lRear wiper switch.
lFront intermittent wiper rate.
lReverse gear selected.
lFront intermittent wiper switch.
lFront wiper switch state.
lFront wash/ wipe in progress flag.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the reversing wipe is in operation, the rear wiper enable
output is switched off.
Headlamp wash
The headlamp wash will only operate when the headlamps are on, and then only every third time the front windscreen
wash button is pressed. When the BCU operates the headlamp washers, it activates the washer pump relay for a
period of 500 ms. The BCU supplies an earth path for the coil of the power wash relay located in the engine
compartment fuse box when the washer function is selected.
The BCU checks for the following inputs to determine when to provide power to the headlamp power wash relay:
lIgnition state.
lFront washer pump switch.
lDipped beam.
lMain beam state.
If the ignition switch is in the off position, the headlamp power wash relay is also held off. if the ignition state is crank,
the headlamp power wash relay is switched off and the headlamp power wash counter is reset to 0.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the headlamp power wash relay in on , the relay remains
on until the 500 ms timer has completed, then the relay is switched off.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-27
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.
The BCU can be configured whether or not to provide bulb failure warnings.
When the direction indicators are operating, instrument pack direction indicators flash in sequence with the exterior
direction indicators. If a failure of an indicator bulb occurs, the corresponding instrument pack indication lamp will flash
quickly to warn of the problem.
The IDM monitors the current drawn through the circuit to detect for the occurrence of a lamp failure. If an indicator
lamp fails, the IDM detects the drop in current drawn through the resistor and operates the indicator relay at a faster
speed. The fast flash is demonstrated on the instrument pack direction indicator warning lamps to bring attention to
the driver that a direction indicator bulb failure has occurred. The current sense for the related indicator lamps (RH or
LH) are checked when a direction indicator request has been made that lasts for at least 160 ms. The current level
sensed is relative to the number of working bulbs and determines the request generated by the BCU.
The output is signalled to the instrument pack using the serial communications link. If the hazard warning lamps are
operating, both sets of direction indicators are checked using the current sensing functions to check the number of
bulbs on each side of the vehicle.
If the BCU detects that a direction indicator request has not been made, but one or other of the current sense inputs
indicate that current is flowing, a 'Relay stuck' output is generated.
Hazard lamps
The BCU controls the operation of the hazard warning lamps via the IDM and dedicated relays. The hazard warning
lamps are activated under the following conditions:
lThe vehicle is locked and the security system is set (the hazard warning lamps flash three times if the
superlocking feature is used, once if not).
lThe vehicle is unlocked (the hazard warning lamps flash once for a duration of two seconds).
lThe anti-theft alarm system is triggered (the hazard warning lamps flash in phase with and for the duration of the
audible warning).
lThe hazard warning switch is pressed (the hazard warning lamps flash until the hazard warning switch is pressed
for a second time).
lThe inertia switch is triggered (the hazard warning lamps flash until the inertia switch has been reset).
The hazard warning lamp operation may differ dependent on market and customer configuration options.
The hazard warning lamps are operated from a latching pushbutton switch located on the fascia. When the switch is
pressed, both left and right indicator lamps in the instrument pack flash to show that the hazard warning lamps are
operating and all hazard warning lamps flash simultaneously. If a trailer is fitted, the ICM detects this and a trailer
symbol in the instrument pack also flashes to show correct operation of the trailer direction indicators and hazard
warning lamps.
The BCU supplies a reference voltage to the hazard warning switch. When the hazard warning switch is operated an
earth path is completed which signals the BCU that a request for hazard lamp operation has been made. The BCU
then sends a signal to the IDM via the serial data bus to communicate the request. The IDM supplies an earth path
for both direction indicator relay coils simultaneously so that the hazard warning lamps are turned on concurrently.
The IDM controls the timing of the flash operations by continually removing and restoring the earth path to both
direction indicator relay coils simultaneously.
Number of working bulbs Request generated
3 Trailer detected
2 None (bulbs okay)
1 Bulb failure detected
0 Direction indicator short circuit detected

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-19
Disarming: To prevent the alarm from triggering when entering the vehicle, the alarm system must be disarmed with
the key or the handset.
There are two perimetric alarm disarming configurations:
lAlways disarm with key.
lOnly disarm with key if locked with key.
The perimetric alarm can be disarmed by unlocking the vehicle with the handset or by using the key in the driver's
door lock, depending on system configuration.
NOTE: The “only disarm with key if locked with key” configuration prevents the alarm from being disarmed by
unlocking the vehicle with the handset if the vehicle has been locked by the key. In this situation the Emergency Key
Access (EKA) code must be entered to disarm the alarm.
In order for the alarm to trigger, the following conditions must be met:
lPerimetric alarm armed.
lBonnet or door opened.
Once triggered, the alarm will remain triggered for 30 seconds before resetting.
Volumetric alarm
The volumetric alarm is used by the BCU to detect movement within the vehicle. This allows the alarm to be triggered
if a window is smashed in an attempt to gain access to the vehicle.
There are two volumetric alarm configurations:
lVolumetric alarm not active.
lVolumetric alarm active.
Two sensors, which transmit and receive ultrasonic signals, detect movement within the vehicle. Theses sensors
detect any change in air movement within the vehicle and then supply the BCU a signal to activate the alarm. Fifteen
seconds after the vehicle is locked with the handset or the key the volumetric alarm is armed. This delay is
incorporated into the BCU software to prevent accidental or nuisance triggering of the alarm.
In order to arm the volumetric alarm, the following conditions must be met:
lDriver's door closed.
lKey not inserted in ignition.
lFuel cut-off switch not tripped.
To prevent the alarm from triggering when entering the vehicle, the alarm system must be disarmed with the key or
the handset.
There are two volumetric alarm disarming configurations:
lAlways disarm with key.
lOnly disarm with key if locked with key.
The volumetric alarm can be disarmed by unlocking the driver's door with the key or the handset, depending on
system configuration.
NOTE: The “only disarm with key if locked with key” configuration prevents the alarm from being disarmed by
unlocking the vehicle with the handset if the vehicle has been locked by the key. In this situation the EKA code must
be entered to disarm the alarm.
In order for the alarm to trigger, the following conditions must be met:
lVolumetric alarm armed.
lVolumetric sensors triggered.
Once triggered, the alarm will remain triggered for 30 seconds before resetting.

IN CAR ENTERTAINMENT
86-6-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The in car entertainment (ICE) system allows the driver and passengers to listen to audio output from the speakers
or optional headphones inside the vehicle. Buttons or knobs on the radio cassette allow changes of levels or
selections during the various modes of operation. The system can be controlled from the fascia mounted radio
cassette, or optional remote control switches on the left hand side of the steering wheel. High line systems may also
have rear headphone amplifiers that have some control of the system via the radio cassette player.
One or two amplified aerials located in the rear side windows send radio signals to the radio cassette player. On high
line systems a power amplifier and a CD-autochanger may be located under the front seats. Speakers are located in
the lower door panels, additional speakers may be located in upper door trim, the A-post and the tail door. A display
screen shows the user the current system status.
The ICE supplied varies with trim level and market. Vehicles may not have all of the speakers, amplified aerials, CD-
autochanger, rear headphone amplifiers or power amplifier.
Base system radio cassette
The base radio cassette has buttons for LD (loudness) AM, FM, EJECT (tape), Reverse, Base/Balance, treble, MAN
forward and reverse. The base radio cassette is located in the center of the fascia and contains the radio and tape
player, four clips (accessible through holes in the front of the unit) secure the unit in the fascia. To remove the unit
the four clips must be released with a special tool. The base system can be controlled from the fascia mounted radio
cassette. A logic control circuit in the radio cassette player controls the operation in the various control modes.
The radio cassette has a display screen, the information shown can be the current radio frequency, tape operating,
bass or loudness settings. Power for the illumination on the radio cassette is supplied from the passenger
compartment fuse box. A main fuse is also located in the connector socket area on the back of the radio cassette.
Security code function
A combination of buttons on the radio cassette are used to input and change security codes. Security codes make the
unit unusable if the unit is disconnected from the vehicle without deactivating the security code. The radio cassette
has an internal memory chip that stores the code information, if the power is removed from the unit the chip will
activate the security code feature. For this reason the security code feature must be deactivated before the unit is
removed or the vehicles battery is disconnected.
Audio functions
The radio cassette has buttons for the following audio functions: LD (loudness), bass/balance, fader, treble and
volume.
Cassette functions
The radio cassette has buttons for the following cassette functions: eject, forward, reverse and tape reversal.
Multi function buttons
The function of presets 1-6 and the MAN button depends on current mode of operation and allows selection of radio
band, radio on, tape track and search/seek functions. The MAN button is mode dependent, when pressed the button
allows manual operation or alternate mode selections such as manual tuning.
Internal memory
An internal memory chip stores the station presets and security code, power is supplied internally to the chip via a
permanent power feed, supplied from the passenger compartment fuse box.
