BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Self levelling suspension and ABS
The BCU communicates with the SLABS ECU for several functions:
lAn output is provided from the SLABS ECU to the BCU to provide the logic conditions for issuing the SLS audible
warning.
lThe BCU receives an input from the SLABS ECU relating to the raise/ lower command from the remote handset.

+ REAR SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - SLS.
Hill descent control
The BCU provides an output signal to the SLABS ECU for automatic transmission in neutral for HDC control. The
BCU checks the status of the ignition and 'gearbox state' inputs and provides a 'Neutral selected' output. If the ignition
is on and 'gearbox state' is Neutral, the 'Neutral selected' output is on, otherwise 'Neutral selected' is off.

+ BRAKES, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Heated screens
The Heated Front Screen (HFS) is fitted for some market destinations and is operated from a non-latching switch
located on the instrument pack cowl. The BCU will only allow the heated front screen to operate when the engine is
running and controls the time-out period for switching the circuit off.
The heated front screen operation can also be controlled from the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) ECU on
vehicles fitted with air conditioning.
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 heated rear window can also be operated by the ATC ECU on vehicles fitted with air
conditioning.
Interior courtesy lamps
The BCU controls the operation of the interior courtesy lamps. The courtesy lamps are situated in the front, mid and
rear areas of the headlining.
Fuel flap actuator
The BCU provides an earth path to the fuel flap release solenoid to allow the fuel filler flap to be opened. This is only
allowed if the alarm system is not set and all other conditions have been satisfied. The fuel flap release switch is
located in the fascia switch pack and it receives a voltage supply from the passenger compartment fuse box.
Audible warnings
The BCU can request the instrument pack to generate an audible warning in response to conditions it has detected
and which need to be drawn to the driver's attention. One of six different audible warnings can be requested by the
BCU.

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.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-35
Fuel flap release
The fuel flap release solenoid only operates when the ignition switch is switched off, the anti-theft system is not
activated and the fuel flap release switch is pressed. If the BCU detects that these conditions have been satisfied, it
provides a path to earth for the fuel flap solenoid, so allowing the fuel flap to be opened.
To decide the correct conditions for providing a fuel flap enable output, the BCU checks the following input conditions:
lIgnition state.
lPerimetric alarm state.
If the battery state is not normal, the electric fuel flap enable is switched off.
Audible warnings
The BCU can request the instrument pack to generate an audible warning in response to logic conditions which have
been detected by the BCU and which need to be drawn to the driver's attention.

+ INSTRUMENTS, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Seat belt warning
The BCU can be programmed to include seat belt warning using one of four options:
lOption 1 – warning on for 6 seconds.
lOption 2 – warning on for 6 seconds or until the seat belt is fastened.
lOption 3 – warning on for 6 seconds unless the seat belt is fastened.
lOption 4 – no warning.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs:
lIgnition on.
lSeat belt fastened.
Depending on the logic conditions of the inputs, the BCU provides the following outputs:
lAudible warning No.1 requested.
lSeat belt not fastened warning on instrument pack (via datalink to the instrument pack).
When programmed for option 1 operation, audible warning No. 1 is requested when the ignition switch is turned from
off to position II. The audible warning remains active for 6 seconds and a warning lamp on the instrument pack is
illuminated for the same duration.
When programmed for option 2 operation, audible warning No. 1 is requested when the ignition switch is turned from
off to position II. The audible warning remains active for 6 seconds or until the seat belt fastened signal is on and a
warning lamp on the instrument pack is illuminated for the same duration.
When programmed for option 3 operation, audible warning No. 1 is requested when the ignition switch is turned from
off to position II. The audible warning remains active for 6 seconds if the seat belt fastened signal is off; a warning
lamp on the instrument pack is illuminated for the same duration.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring, the audible and visual warning requests are not sent to the
instrument pack.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-5
Description
General
The anti-theft system deters the theft of the vehicle with both active and passive systems. The active systems monitor
the vehicle perimeter and, in some markets the vehicle interior, for intrusion. If the system detects intrusion, an alarm
sounds. The passive systems include a vehicle immobiliser as well as protection against intrusion through super
locking the doors. The vehicle is immobilised whenever the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch. Super
locking prevents the interior door handles from opening the doors. In addition, there are many features and functions
that enhance system operation.
It is possible to perform the various functions associated with the anti-theft system remotely. To accomplish this, the
handset generates a radio frequency when the lock button or unlock button is depressed. This signal is transmitted
to the Body Control Unit (BCU) via a receiver located in front of rear sunroof beneath the headlining. Precise alignment
of the handset to the receiver is not necessary. The approximate operating range between the handset and the
receiver is 10 metres (33 feet).
It is important to understand the configuration of the system on each particular vehicle. There are many
different combinations of features with dedicated operating modes. System configuration for each vehicle
can be determined using TestBook.
The anti-theft system is controlled centrally by the BCU, which is located below and behind the passenger glovebox.
A serial communication link communicates between the Intelligent Driver Module (IDM) located within the fusebox,
the BCU and the LED located in the instrument panel.
The state of the alarm is stored in the BCU. If the battery is disconnected while the alarm is armed, the alarm will be
triggered when the battery is reconnected.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery while the alarm is armed triggers the alarm. Always disarm the alarm system before
disconnecting the battery.
The BCU also receives inputs from the following components:
lIgnition key in sensor.
lIgnition switch.
lFuel cut off switch.
lFuel flap release switch.
The BCU also interacts with the following components:
lStarter relay.
lVehicle horns.
lDirection indicators.
lFuel flap release actuator.
lCourtesy lamps.

Operation
Standard system functions
All vehicles have the following functions as standard.
lLocking.
lUnlocking.
lFuel cut off switch unlocking.
lInternal locking.
lElectric fuel flap release.
Locking
The doors are locked by pressing the lock button on the handset or by locking the vehicle from the driver's door with
the key.
In order to lock the vehicle, the following conditions must be met:
lThe driver's door is closed.
lThe ignition is off.
lThe fuel cut off switch is not tripped.
lThe bonnet is closed.
lThe vehicle is not super locked.
Depending on system configuration a mislock occurs if these conditions are not met. The doors may lock (depending
on condition not met) and the system may not fully arm, depending on configuration of the system. If a mislock occurs
an audible warning is emitted and the vehicle becomes partially armed.
Unlocking
The doors are unlocked by pressing the unlock button on the handset or by unlocking the vehicle from the driver's
door with the key. This may unlock only the driver's door or it may unlock all doors depending on system configuration.
Fuel cut off switch unlocking
In the event that the vehicle experiences a force strong enough to actuate the switch, all the doors on the vehicle
immediately unlock. The following conditions must be met for this to occur:
lThe security system is not armed.
lThe ignition is on.
This same action causes the fuel pump to shut off and disables the Engine Control Module (ECM). In some markets,
this action may also cause the direction indicators lights to flash.
