Headlight Washing (if equipped):When the headlights are on, the headlight washer
pump is activated with the first activation of the windshield washer pump. It is only activat-
ed again after five succesive windshield washer cycles during the same ignition key on cycle
(rest function). The GM recognises headlights on via K-Bus signalling. The GM provides a
ground on the headlight washer relay control circuit providing pump operation. The head-
light washer pump is located on the side of the washer fluid reservoir.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer System (E39 Sport Wagon and E53): The system is
included in the scope of ZKE however is not controlled directly by the GM. The control elec-
tronics are integrated into the rear wiper motor assembly. The control electronics contains
two hall sensors, one for monitoring park position and other for the end stop, or to signal
reverse direction of the wiper motor. The control electronics are connected to the vehicle
electrical system via a single seven pin connector.
The rear wiper system is operator controlled
through the wiper stalk switch providing the fol-
lowing functions:
• Intermittent rear window wiping
• Programmed rear window wiping interval
• Operation of the rear window washer
Pressing the wiper stalk forward to the first detent activates the rear wiper in the intermit-
tent mode
. The timed interval is approximately 7-12 seconds. The full sweep and park posi-
tions are recognized by the two hall sensors on the motor gear assembly. If the wiper is
switched OFF, the wiper blade will return to the park position.
The programmed wiper interval procedure is as follows:
• Briefly switch the rear wiper ON/OFF
• Wait the desired interval time
• Switch the rear wiper ON again
• The OFF time will be the programmed interval - up to approx. 30 seconds
Rear window washing is activated by pressing the wiper stalk switch to the full forward
position.
The washer pump operates followed by two full wiping cycles. The wipers will then
switch to the intermittent wiping mode. Additionally, the system automatically controls the
following safety and convenience features:
• Wiper interrupt with the rear glass opened
• Wiping interrupt with a blocked wiper arm
• Continuous wiping when the vehicle is shifted into reverse
When the transmission is shifted into reverse, the wiper will switch to continuous operation
until the vehicle is shifted out of reverse. This signal (high) is provided by the LCM III when
it activates the back up lights.

Rain Sensor Function
The rain sensor is online as soon as it receives KLR operating power.
• When the windshield wiper stalk switch is placed in the intermittent position the GM sig-
nals the rain sensor control module via the K-Bus of the request for intermittent wiping
and the position of the knurled wheel (sensitivity).
• As an acknowledgement, the rain sensor sends a command via the K Bus to activate the
wiper motor. If more than 12 seconds pass before the GM receives the acknowledge-
ment, the GM concludes the rain sensor has a defect and operates the intermittent wipe
function as a system not equipped with a rain sensor. The wiper intermittent cycling is
based solely on the knurled wheel setting.
• The rain sensor continuously monitors the windshield for rain accumulation and signals
the GM to activate the wipers based on the knurled wheel position and how fast the rain
accumulates on the windshield.
• The knurled wheel position signal (1-4) via the K bus informs the rain sensor of the select-
ed level of sensitivity.
- Position 1 (least sensitive) delays the wiper activation signal.
- Position 4 (most sensitive) sends the wiper activation signal to the GM sooner.
• When the wiper motor park contacts signal the GM of the wiper arm position, the signal
is simultaneously sent to the rain sensor as an indication that the windshield has been
cleared of water drops and causes the rain sensor to reset the sensitivity delay timer back
to 0.
• If night time driving is detected via the integral photocell, the sensitivity to water droplets
is increased causeing a shorter delay than day time driving.
• Depending on the intensity of the rain the wipers will be operated continuously as if set in
the normal wiper stalk switch position regardless of the knurled wheel setting. For this
reason, the vehicle speed signal on the K bus is not utilized on rain sensor equipped wiper
systems.

• If the ignition switch is turned off with the wiper switch in the intermittent position, the rain
sensor will only become active after the ignition is switched back on and one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
- The stalk switch is moved from the intermittent position and then back.
- The knurled wheel setting is adjusted.
- or the wash function is activated.
The reasoning behind this switching strategy is to have the driver make a conscious deci-
sion to activate the system themselves.
Rain Sensor Control Module Adaptation
The rain sensor control module adapts to the optics system environment as follows:
Windshield Aging:As the vehicle ages the possibility of stone chipping in the rain sensors
monitoring area may occur which will cause a loss of light in the optics system.
The control module adapts for loss of light based on the intensity of the detected infra red
light with a cleared windshield (wiper motor park signal). Therefore, the rain sensors func-
tion is not adversely affected due to windshield aging.
Dirty Windows:The rain sensor adaptation reacts less sensitively to a dirty windshield
(dirt, road salt, wax residue) after a completed wipe cycle. A dirty windshield has a film on
it that diminishes the ability of the infra red to refract into present water droplets. This caus-
es a delay in the rain sensor detection capabilities which lengthens the time intervals on an
intermittent wipe.
Windshield Wiper System Failsafe Operation
The GM provides failsafe operation of the wiper system if faults are detected with any of the
following input signals:

Workshop Hints
Remote Key Initialization: The initialization of the FZV keys is required to establish the
Lock/Unlock signal synchronization with the GM. The initialization procedure provides the
GM with a key identification number and a “rolling code” for each key. If the initialization is
not performed, the GM will not respond to the key signals.
Up to 4 remote keys can be initialized. They must be initialized at the same time. Key ini-
tialization is only possible with the vehicle unlocked.
Procedure:
1. Close all doors and have all keys available.
2. Using key number 1, turn the ignition switch to KL
R, then switch off within 5 seconds and remove the
first key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the ignition switch to
“off” Press and holdbutton #2.
4. While holding button #2, press and release(“tap”)
button #1 three timeswithin 10 seconds.
5. Release both buttons. The LED in the key will flash
momentarily (except 2000 MY). The GM will imme-
diately lock and unlock the doors signaling a suc-
cessful initialization.
6. If additional keys need to be initialized repeat steps
3 - 5 within 30 seconds.
7. Switching the ignition to KL R completes the initiali-
zation.
NOTE: The key memory function of the GM responds
to the key identification number of each key. If the keys
are not initialized in the same order prior to initialization,
the key memory functions activated by the keys will not
be assigned correctly. Always initialize the keys in
the same order.

Anti-Theft (DWA) System
Purpose of the System
The DWA alarm system offers vehicle protection by monitoring the doors, hood, interior,
luggage compartment and vehicle tilting. When activated, DWA deters theft by sounding
an alarm siren for 30 seconds, flashing the low beam headlights (high beam on Xenon
equipped models) and four way flashers for 5 minutes.
The control electronics for DWA are integrated in the general module. The DWA - LED
indicator is located in the rear view mirror (E38 in the top center IHKA grille).
The system is “armed/disarmed” from the driver’s door lock cylinder, remote transmitter or
luggage compartment lock cylinder. The alarm is immediately deactivated when disarmed
with the key in the driver’s door lock cylinder (may be deactivated in Conversion) or remote
transmitter.
The GM utilizes existing components and/or circuits as part of the DWA system:
• Door latch switch/sensor contacts (door open/closed).
• Trunk lid switch contact (monitored for closed trunk).
• Trunk lock key position switch (located on the trunk lock, this switch signal prevents
DWA from activating if armed when the trunk is opened with the key).
• Hood switch (monitored for closed hood, located under the hood).
• DWA status LED (part of rear view mirror).
The additional components required are:
• Interior Sensor • DWA Siren • Tilt sensor

System Components
Interior Sensor FIS (up to 99 MY): The interior sensor is mounted in the center of the
headliner panel. Due to the design of the vehicles interior, the sensor is uni-directional and
must be installed in the proper direction to ensure proper operation of the system.
When the alarm system is armed, the sensor emits electromagnetic waves at a frequency
of 2.45 GHz. As long as nothing is moving in the vehicle, the waves as bounced back to
the sensor at the same frequency. The sensor monitors these bounced back waves as an
indication that nothing is disturbed within the vehicle.
If a foreign object enters the vehicle, the frequency of the bounced back signal changes.
The sensor monitors the changed frequency and triggers the alarm.
Every time the DWA system is armed, the
sensor adapts to what ever objects might be
stationary in the interior.
This allows packages or objects to be left
inside the car without effecting the operation
of the system. The sensitivity of the sensor is
set so that the moving object must be at least
as large as a bumble bee. This prevents a
false alarm from occurring from small insects
that might be caught in the vehicle.
The FIS is switched OFF when the vehicle is locked two times within ten seconds. The LED
will flash one time for confirmation. This allows the sensor to be switched OFF to avoid false
alarms when the windows are left open for venting.

Interior Sensor UIS (after 99 MY):Similar to the FIS, the UIS monitors the vehicle interi-
or for motion. The UIS uses ultrasonic sound wavs instead of microwaves (less suceptable
to magnetic interference). The UIS is a combined transmitter and receiver.
The interior sensor is mounted in the center of the headliner panel. Due to the design of the
vehicles interior, the sensor is uni-directional and must be installed in the proper direction
to ensure proper operation of the system (trim cover ensures directional installation).
Every time the DWA system is armed (signal STDWA), the sensor adapts to what ever
objects might be stationary in the interior. The sensor emits ultra sonic waves in a pro-
grammed timed cycle. It receives echos of the emitted waves.
The UIS amplifies the received sound wave signals and compares them with the transmit-
ted waves. The UIS also checks the incoming echos for background hiss (wind noise
through a partially open window) and adapts for this.
• If the echos are consistently similar, no movement is detected.
• If the echos are altered, (inconsistent), the UIS determines motion in the interior com-
partment.
If motion is detected, the UIS changes to a constant cycle and the echo is compared again.
If the inconsistency is still present the UIS sends the activate siren signal (INRS) to the GM.
The UIS is switched OFF when the vehicle is locked two times within ten seconds. The LED
will flash one time for confirmation. This allows the sensor to be switched OFF to avoid false
alarms when the windows are left open for venting.
