AIR CONDITIONING
82-16DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation
General
While the system is on, the ATC ECU operates the refrigerant system and the inlet air, blower speed, air temperature
and air distribution functions to produce the conditions requested on the control panel. When the system is first
switched on, the ATC ECU resumes the control outputs in use when the system was last switched off. If conditions
have changed, or a different mode is selected to switch the system on, the control outputs are then changed to
produce the required new settings.
The system operates in automatic, economy and defrost modes, with manual overrides of the inlet air source, blower
speed and air distribution. The air temperature is automatically controlled in all operating modes.
In the automatic mode, the ATC ECU operates the system to warm-up or cool down the cabin to establish and
maintain the temperature selections on the control panel, while directing the air to those outlets most comfortable for
the occupant(s). If a difference between the LH and RH temperature selections causes a conflict of the required inlet
air source, blower speed or air distribution settings, priority is given to achieving the temperature requested on the
driver's side of the control panel.
The ATC ECU enters the economy mode when the refrigerant compressor is selected off while the system is in the
automatic mode, which reduces the load on the engine. Economy mode operation is similar to the automatic mode,
but without the ability to cool the cabin if the ambient temperature is higher than the temperature selections made on
the control panel, or to dehumidify the air in the cabin.
In the defrost mode, the ATC ECU sets the inlet air source to fresh air, the blower to maximum speed, the air
distribution to windscreen and side windows, and outputs signals to the BCU to operate the rear window heater and
(where fitted) the windscreen heater. The BCU starts or, if the heaters are already on, resets the heater timers and
energises the rear window and windscreen heaters for a complete on cycle.
Air temperature control
To determine the amount of heat or cooling required by the cabin, the ATC ECU uses the sensor inputs and the
temperatures selected on the control panel to calculate target air outlet temperatures for the driver's and the front
passenger's side of the heater assembly. The ATC ECU then signals the servo motors controlling the respective blend
flaps in the heater assembly to move to the flaps to the appropriate position. The target temperatures are constantly
updated and, in the automatic mode, also used in further calculations to determine the inlet air source, the blower
speed and the air distribution.
Inlet air control
The inlet air source is automatically controlled while the system is off or on. While the system is on, the inlet air source
can also be manually controlled to give timed recirculated air or latched recirculated air.
While the system is off, the ATC ECU uses vehicle speed to determine the inlet air source. With the vehicle at rest,
the inlet air source is set to recirculated air. When vehicle speed reaches 17.5 mph (28 km/h), the inlet air source
changes to fresh air. The inlet air source then remains at fresh air until the vehicle speed decreases to 5 mph (8 km/
h), when it returns to recirculated air.
While the system is on, the ATC ECU uses the LH and RH temperature selections, vehicle speed, ambient air
temperature and coolant temperature to determine the inlet air source. In the automatic mode:
lIf one temperature selection is set to LO and one is set to a specific temperature or HI, the inlet air is set to
recirculated air.
lIf one temperature selection is set to HI and one is set to a specific temperature or HI, the inlet air is set to fresh
air.
lWhen specific LH and RH temperature selections are set, the inlet air source remains at fresh air except when
the air distribution function is set to face level only or face level and footwell outlets. If the air distribution function
is set to face level only or face level and footwell outlets, at 56 mph (90 km/h) the inlet air source changes to
recirculated air (to exclude ram effect, which becomes excessive at speed). When the vehicle speed decreases
to 37.5 mph (60 km/h), the inlet air source returns to fresh air.
In the defrost mode, the inlet air source is set to fresh air except at low ambient air and coolant temperatures. If, within
5 minutes of the ignition being switched on, the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h) while the external air
temperature is −16 °C (3 °F) or less and the heater coolant temperature is −10 °C (14 °F) or less, then the inlet air
source is automatically set to the timed recirculated air mode. The timed recirculated air mode is cancelled
immediately the vehicle speed reaches 8 km/h or more .
AIR CONDITIONING
82-18DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Air distribution control
To control the air distribution within the cabin the ATC ECU signals the servo motor controlling the distribution flaps
in the heater assembly to move to the flaps to the appropriate position.
In the automatic and economy modes, if the LH or RH temperature selections are set to LO or HI, air distribution is
fixed as follows:
lIf one is set to LO and one is set to a specific temperature, to face level only.
lIf one is set to HI and one is set to a specific temperature, to footwells only.
lIf one is set to LO and one is set to HI, to face level and footwells.
When specific LH and RH temperature selections are set, air distribution is determined from the target air outlet
temperatures. For higher target air outlet temperatures, air distribution is set to footwells only. For lower target air
outlet temperatures, air distribution is set to face level only. For intermediate target air outlet temperatures, air
distribution is set to face level and footwells. When the air distribution is set to face level and footwells, the ATC ECU
varies the bias between the footwells and the face level outlets, in three stages, to provide a gradual transition of air
distribution from footwells only to face level only. The three stages of bias are also employed when the air distribution
is manually selected to face level and footwells.
During warm-up, the air distribution changes to face level and footwells for a period, then reverts to footwells only.
The period of air distribution at face level and footwells can be cancelled by pressing and holding the on/off and defrost
mode switches, then turning the ignition switch from off to on. Pressing and holding the AUTO and defrost switches,
then turning the ignition switch from off to on, restores the period of air distribution at face level and footwells.
Compressor control
To engage the compressor clutch, the ATC ECU outputs a compressor clutch request to the ECM, which then
energises the A/C compressor clutch relay. Compressor operation is governed by the evaporator outlet air
temperature, at one of two settings, dependent on the amount of cooling required. When more cooling is required, the
compressor clutch request is output if evaporator outlet air temperature increases to 4 °C (39 °F) and cancelled when
it decreases to 3 °C (37 °F). When less cooling is required, the compressor clutch request is output if evaporator outlet
air temperature increases to 11 °C (52 °F) and cancelled when it decreases to 10 °C (50 °F).
Engine cooling fan control
While the A/C system is on, operation of the electric engine cooling fan, to assist refrigerant condenser operation, is
determined by a combination of vehicle speed and external air temperature. When cooling fan operation is required,
the ATC ECU outputs a cooling fan request to the ECM, which then energises the cooling fan relay. The cooling fan
request is output if vehicle speed is 80 km/h or less while the external air temperature is 28 °C (82 °F) or more. The
request is cancelled, and the cooling fan switched off, if either the vehicle speed increases to 100 km/h, or the external
air temperature decreases to 25 °C (77 °F).
Default settings
If the battery power supply to the ATC ECU is disrupted for any reason, e.g. battery disconnected, the system reverts
to default settings when the battery power supply is restored. Default settings are:
lTemperature indications in °C (in some markets a conversion connector is fitted to the ATC ECU to change the
default temperature scale to °F).
lLH and RH outlet temperatures of 22 °C (72 °F).
laudible warning switched on.
lWarm-up air distribution (to face level and footwells) function switched on.
lIf the system is first switched on using the A/C on/off switch, the automatic mode is engaged, regardless of the
settings in use when the battery was disconnected.
BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Power supply
Battery supply to the BCU and the IDM is provided through a 10 A fuse located in the engine compartment fuse box.
The BCU unit receives an ignition switched power supply (ignition switch position II) input via a 10 A fuse in the
passenger compartment fuse box.
The BCU receives a signal when the ignition switch is turned to the crank position, it then supplies an earth path to
the starter relay coil, to enable the crank operation by supplying power through the starter relay contacts to the starter
motor.
Battery voltage is monitored and BCU operation will function normally between 8 and 18 volts. Between 5.7 and 8
volts the BCU is in the 'under volts' state. The status of the battery is used to determine which outputs may be driven.
If a voltage supply above 18 volts is experienced, outputs will not normally be driven except for those functions which
are required during cranking (robust immobilisation, antenna coil, crank enable relay and feed to gear position switch
contacts W, X, Y, Z). In the over voltage state the vehicle can be driven, but all other functions are disabled and
outputs are switched off (power windows, heated screen, direction indicators etc.).
All functions are disabled on power up until communications between the BCU and IDM have been established. If
communications cannot be established, operation will commence with degraded functionality.
Battery supply to the IDM is provided through the inertia switch and a 10 A fuse in the engine compartment fuse box.
If the inertia switch contacts are closed battery voltage is available at the IDM; if the inertia switch contacts are open
there is no battery supply to the IDM. The supply condition of the IDM is signalled to the BCU via the serial bus. If the
inertia switch is operated (contacts open) the change in state is detected by the BCU which unlocks the doors if the
ignition switch is in position II and the alarm is not set.
The BCU is earthed through a hard-wire connection.
Inputs and outputs
The BCU and IDM process inputs and provide the necessary outputs for control and operation of the vehicle's 'body'
systems.
BCU inputs
The BCU processes signals received from the following components:
lDoor latch switches.
lDriver's door key lock/ unlock switches.
lBonnet activated security system.
lVolumetric sensors.
lCentral Door Locking (CDL) switches.
lRemote transmitter (via receiver unit).
lInertia fuel cut-off switch.
lIgnition switch.
lFuel flap release switch.
The input voltages (V
in) for BCU digital signals are defined as follows:
lLogic 1 when V
in ≥ 6V.
lLogic 0 when V
in ≤ 2V.
BCU input voltages between 2 and 6 volts are indeterminate and cannot be guaranteed.
Analogue input voltages are measured as a ratio with respect to battery voltage.
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 86-3-19
Operation
For IDM inputs which are also inputs for BCU functions, the delay before the BCU recognises the change in input
status is less than 250 ms. The BCU uses a debounce algorithm to ignore changes in input having a duration less
than 100 ms with the exception of automatic gearbox W, X, Y, Z inputs, which have a debounce period of 33 ms.
Transit mode
To prevent excessive battery drain during transit to overseas markets, the vehicle is placed in a transit mode.
To exit the transit mode, simultaneously hold down the heated rear window switch and the rear fog lamp switch, turn
the ignition switch from 0 to II and, after a minimum of 2 seconds, release the switches.
Transit mode can be entered using TestBook. When TestBook communicates with the BCU for diagnostics related to
BCU operation, it first checks that the vehicle is not in transit mode.
Anti-theft system
The BCU uses the driver's door key lock and unlock switches to activate and deactivate the security system. The
driver's door lock is also used for entering the EKA.
+ ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Immobilisation
For immobilisation, the BCU disables the starter motor relay. When the engine is cranking, the ECM looks for a coded
signal from the BCU. If the signal is not received within one second of cranking, the fuel supply to the engine is
stopped and the injectors are disabled. This also prevents unburnt fuel from entering the catalyst.
If the BCU is disconnected, the engine starter motor will remain isolated by the starter motor relay and the ECM will
remain immobilised. The main wiring for the system is contained within the main harness which is relatively
inaccessible, so preventing intruders from disabling the system by cutting the wires for the immobilisation system.
Once the immobiliser has been activated, destruction of the trigger device or the wiring to it will not disarm the system.
The RF transmitter communicates to the BCU via the RF receiver using a 70 bit code. Pressing the unlock button on
the transmitter will re-mobilise the vehicle. The RF transponder is integrated into the metal key assembly, inserting
the key into the ignition switch will induce a signal in the exciter coil to re-mobilise the vehicle.
Anti-theft alarm
The alarm system provides a warning of unauthorised access to the vehicle and includes perimetric and volumetric
monitoring under the control of the BCU.
The perimetric protection system detects opening of all doors, tail door and bonnet and will also detect the operation
of the ignition key switch. The following conditions must be satisfied before the BCU will operate all of the functions
of perimetric protection:
lAll doors and hinged panels are in the closed position.
lIgnition key out of the ignition switch.
lInertia switch is not tripped.
If all conditions are not satisfied the BCU will enter a mislock condition.
The volumetric sensor uses two ultrasonic sensors mounted in the headlining to detect movement within the vehicle.
The alarm will trigger when the sensor signals the BCU for 200 ms or greater. Within a single setting period the alarm
system will allow a maximum of 10 triggers as a result of any combination of sensor inputs. It is possible to lock the
vehicle without enabling the volumetric alarm by using the key. The same conditions needed to satisfy enabling of the
perimetric protection system is also needed to enable volumetric protection.
When the alarm system is set the BCU checks the status of all the inputs from the door and bonnet switches to ensure
the integrity of the vehicle before setting the alarm system into operational mode. In some markets, when the alarm
is set the BCU sends a signal to the IDM which will cause the direction indicators to flash three times for a duration of
3 seconds.
If the sensors are triggered the BCU will activate an alarm sounder to provide an audible warning of a theft attempt.
The activation period of the alarm sounder is 25 to 30 seconds. The duty cycle of the alarm sounder is 50:50 ± 10%.
BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
In some markets, when the alarm is triggered the BCU also activates the direction indicators, in phase with the audible
warning, to provide an optical warning of a theft attempt. The activation period of the optical alarm is 25 to 30 seconds.
The duty cycle of the optical warning is 50:50 ± 10%.
The alarm system relies upon the vehicle battery for power. However, the BCU remembers the status of the security
system if it loses battery supply. If the security system was in a set condition when battery supply was lost the BCU
will trigger the alarm and initiate a visual warning by flashing the hazard lamps when the battery voltage is restored.
On vehicles with a BBUS fitted, the BBUS will sound if the battery is disconnected while the alarm system is set.
Door switches
The BCU uses the door latch switches to indicate if a door is open or closed. The BCU provides power to all door latch
switches; the switches are in the 'normally open' condition when the doors are shut. When a door is opened, the door
switch contacts are closed and the circuit is earthed, signalling a change in state to the BCU. All doors except the
driver's doors are connected in parallel, so the BCU will recognise a passenger door has been opened but will not be
able to distinguish which one. The driver's door has a dedicated signal line which enables the BCU to detect if the
driver's door has been opened or closed.
Door lock actuators
The CDL system has the facility to enable superlocking. All door lock actuators are controlled by the BCU via the IDM.
The driver's door is controlled separately from all other doors, enabling functions like single point entry and key
access.
Driver's door key lock and unlock switches
The BCU uses the driver's door key lock and unlock switches to activate and deactivate the security system. The
driver's door lock is also used for entering the EKA code.
Two separate switches are incorporated into the key lock assembly of the driver's door. The switches are normally
open and the BCU provides a separate power supply to each. The BCU is signalled when a circuit is earthed enabling
it to determine the direction in which the lock has been turned.
Bonnet switch
The bonnet switch is powered from the BCU and is used as a logical input for operation of the security system. The
switch is normally open with the bonnet closed, when the bonnet is opened the switch contacts close to complete a
circuit to earth and signal the change in state to the BCU.
Key-in sensor
When the ignition key is inserted into the lock barrel the key-in sensor contacts close and supply a signal to the BCU.
The BCU monitors the ignition switch for a change in state and triggers the alarm if it receives an ignition signal before
it receives an alarm disarm signal.
Another feed to the ignition switch is provided by the BCU to provide switch illumination.
A key-in warning can be enabled or disabled. When the key-in warning is enabled, an audible warning is generated
if the ignition key is in and the driver's door is opened.
Passive coil
The passive coil is located around the ignition key barrel. When the BCU detects that the ignition key has been turned
to the crank position, the vehicle's immobilisation system is activated and a signal is sent to the passive coil at a
frequency of 125 kHz. The magnetic field generated in the coil is induced in the remote transmitter to trigger a re-
mobilisation signal.
BBUS/ alarm sounder/ vehicle horn
The BBUS is an audible warning device which operates under the control of the BCU if the anti-theft system is
activated or the vehicle battery is disconnected. The unit contains its own internal battery power source which is
charged via a feed from the passenger compartment fuse box. The BBUS will not sound if the battery is disconnected
while the security system has not been set.
Some markets utilise an alarm sounder which operates independently or in conjunction with the vehicle horn if the
anti-theft system is triggered.
BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-22 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Electric windows and sunroof
Three modes of operation are available:
lDriver cancel – the front windows, rear windows and sunroof will be disabled 44 seconds after the driver's door
is opened.
lAll cancel – The front windows, rear windows and sunroof will be disabled 44 seconds after any door is opened.
lNo cancel – the front windows, rear windows and sunroof will be disabled when the ignition is turned off.
The BCU will allow window and sunroof operation when the ignition key is in position II. The BCU provides a voltage
to the window control switches. When the switches are pressed, they provide a path to earth to complete the circuit
and initiate window operation. Window and sunroof operation is suspended when the ignition switch is in the crank
position.
For front window operation, the BCU checks the status of the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lDriver's door open.
lPassenger or rear door open.
lFront right window down.
lFront right window up.
lFront left window down.
lFront left window up.
lRight window stall detect.
lLeft window stall detect.
The front window motors are directly connected to the BCU by two wires. Each wire can be used as a feed or return,
dependent on the required direction for motor operation (open or close). The BCU provides the following outputs:
lRight window up.
lRight window down.
lLeft window up.
lLeft window down.
The electric front windows are enabled when the ignition switch is in position II and is disabled if the ignition switch is
moved to the crank position.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine when to provide the rear window enable and sunroof
enable output signals:
lIgnition state.
lDriver's door open.
lPassenger or rear door open.
The rear window enable and sunroof enable lines are on when the ignition switch is in position II, and are switched
off if the ignition switch is moved to the crank position.
The BCU monitors the circuit current draw when the windows are operating to detect the occurrence of a stall
condition. If the BCU determines that the window has stalled, it will cut the power supply to stop the operation of the
window motor. The BCU only starts to check for a stall condition after the window has been operating for 500 ms. This
delay period enables the initial current surge to pass and eliminates false detections of window stall. A stall condition
is activated when a nominal current value is exceeded for a period greater than 300 ms.
If the BCU detects that it has been operating the same window motor in one direction for more than 10 ± 0.2 seconds,
without the BCU detecting a stall condition or the control switch being released, it will automatically stop operation of
the window motor (timed out). Window operation can resume when the window switch is released and pressed again.
If the window was operating in one touch mode, the window operation will resume on the next press of the window
switch.
One touch mode automatically lowers the window to its fully open position, without the need for the window switch to
be kept pressed for the duration of the window travel. One touch mode is initialised if the window switch is pressed
for a period of less than 0.4 ± 0.2 second. One touch mode continues to lower the window until the BCU detects:
lA stall condition exists (window has reached bottom of travel).
lWindow switch is repressed in either direction for more than 0.4 ± 0.2 second.
lThe BCU has operated the motor for a period greater than 10 ± 0.2 seconds.
BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-23
A timeout function is included which allows the windows and sunroofs to be operated for a period of 44 ± 1 seconds
after the ignition key has been removed from the ignition switch. The timeout function will be cancelled if the BCU
detects the following conditions:
lThe driver's door has been closed after the ignition has been switched off.
lAny door open after the ignition is switched off.
The preconditions are programmed into the BCU dependent on market specification.
The BCU does not directly control rear window operation, but it can request the IDM to remove the power feed to the
rear windows. The IDM enables power supply to be provided to the rear lift relay in the passenger fuse box. When the
relay coil is energised the relay contacts close and power is applied to the rear window motor. If the window lift
isolation switch located in the centre console is latched out, the earth path from the LH and RH rear door window
switches is broken and operation of the rear window motors through the use of the rear window switches is prevented.
Rear window operation using the console switches is not affected by the isolation switch.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while rear window enable is on, the relay remains on until the
ignition switch is turned to the off position.
Heated screens
The heated screen time-outs and logical operations are controlled by the BCU.
Heated front screen
The BCU provides an output to the heated front screen relay and a 'heated front screen active signal' for the heated
front screen warning lamp. The BCU uses the status of the following inputs to determine the appropriate logical
operations for this feature:
lIgnition state.
lEngine running (link from instrument pack).
lHeated front screen selected (non-latched button pressed).
If the ignition switch is not in position II, or the engine running signal is OFF, the heated front screen will not be active.
The heated front screen operation period and voltage supply is controlled by the BCU. The BCU receives a voltage
supply feed from the engine compartment fuse box and an ignition switched supply through a fuse in the passenger
compartment fuse box. When the heated front screen switch is operated, it completes a path to earth, signalling a
request for heated screen operation to the BCU. The BCU then supplies a feed to the heated front screen switch to
light the switch indicator, and earths the supply from the coil of the heated screen relay to turn the heated front screen
on. The BCU maintains a supply for a predetermined time (5 minutes), then opens the earth path after the time out
period to turn the heated screen off. During the timeout period, if the heated front screen switch is pressed a second
time, the circuit is also interrupted to turn off the supply to the heated front screen.
On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the heated front screen is also operated by the ATC ECU when DEF (defrost)
is selected. In this case the ATC ECU provides the trigger signal to the BCU to turn the heated front screen circuit on
or, if it is already on, to re-start the time out period.
+ AIR CONDITIONING, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the heated front screen relay is on, the relay and lamp
will remain on until the ignition switch is turned off or the time-out period elapses or the heated front screen switch is
pressed.
Heated rear window
The heated rear window will only function when the engine is running, and is operated by a non-latching switch on the
instrument pack cowl.
The BCU provides a 'heated rear window enable output' and a 'heated rear window active warning lamp signal' based
on the logic status of the following inputs:
lIgnition state.
lEngine running (link from instrument pack).
lHeated rear window selected (non-latched button pressed).
If the ignition switch is not in position II, or the engine running signal is OFF, the heated rear window will not be active.
