BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Alarm system
The alarm system comprises the following components:
lRF receiver.
lRF transmitter.
lBCU.
lIDM.
lDoor switches, door lock switches and bonnet switch.
lBattery backed-up sounder (BBUS).
lStatus LED.
On non NAS vehicles, power supply for the alarm sounder and the battery BBUS is provided through two relays in the
passenger compartment fuse box. Each of the coils of the alarm relays are directly connected to the IDM which
controls their operation under the direction of BCU signals received via the serial data bus.
On NAS vehicles, an audible warning is provided through operation of the vehicle horns. The BCU provides an earth
path for the coil of the horn relay to initiate vehicle horn operation.

+ ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Central Door Locking (CDL)
The BCU carries out the logic control operation for CDL. A CDL switch is mounted on the fascia panel and has two
inputs to the BCU, one for lock and one for unlock.
Door locking and unlocking can be performed using the remote transmitter in the keys and the receiver unit located
above the vehicle's headlining, behind the rear sunroof aperture. The receiver detects the signals sent from the
remote transmitter and sends a decoded signal to the BCU for processing.
Four methods of door locking are available:
lRemote handset locking.
lVehicle key locking.
lCDL switch locking.
lSpeed related locking.
Two security levels of door locking are available, CDL and Superlocking. The anti-theft alarm system works in
conjunction with the CDL system.
Electric windows and sunroof
The BCU controls the logical operations and the timing periods for the electric front windows. The rear windows are
hard-wired and the two electric sunroofs are controlled by a dedicated ECU which is enabled by the BCU.
The front windows are electrically operated using two rocker switches located in the centre console. Electric motors
are located in each of the front doors.
The rear windows are enabled by the IDM controlling the operation of the rear window relay located in the passenger
compartment fuse box.
Wipers and washers
The wiper and washer functions are controlled by the BCU and the IDM.
The front wipers and washers are operated from the switch stalk located on the right hand side of the steering column
and only operate when the ignition switch is in position I or II. The front wipers are operated by a motor located below
the windscreen plenum.

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
86-3-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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%.
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.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-21
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.
Security system status LED
The LED flashes when the anti-theft system has been set. There are four different flash rates dependent on mode of
operation or other system information.
Central door locking
The doors can be locked by the following methods:
lPressing the lock button on the remote transmitter.
lLocking the vehicle from the driver's door with the key.
lPressing the lower half of the central door lock switch.
lPushing the sill button down (will only lock that particular door).
lBy driving over 7 km/h (4 mph) – ( if the speed related locking function has been enabled).
The BCU will prevent locking if the logical conditions for locking are not satisfied. Conditions which will prevent door
locking include:
lDriver's door open.
lIgnition switch on.
lInertia switch tripped.
lVehicle is already superlocked.
A mislock may occur if the logical conditions are not met.
The doors can be unlocked by the following methods:
lPressing the unlock button on the remote transmitter
lUnlocking the vehicle from the driver's door with the key.
lPressing the upper half of the central door locking switch (not operational if the vehicle is superlocked).
lPulling the interior door handles (not operational if the vehicle is superlocked).
lInertia switch being triggered while the ignition is on and the security system is de-activated.
The BCU supplies information via the serial data bus to the IDM to energise the coil of the relays for each of the door
lock actuators.
The BCU normally checks the following inputs to determine lock/ unlock requirements:
lUnlock request.
lLock request.
lSuperlock request.
lSingle point entry request.
lLock passenger and rear doors request.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-32 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Odometer update
The BCU can be programmed for one of two options:
lOption 1 – no odometer error warning.
lOption 2 – odometer error warning.
In order to provide an LCD flash request to the instrument pack via the communications link, the following inputs are
checked:
lIgnition state.
lInstrument pack odometer value (via the communications link).
lBCU odometer value.
The function is only active when the ignition state is on. The maximum allowed value is 999,999 miles (1,608,999
km).If the instrument pack odometer value is greater than the maximum allowed value, the maximum value is
assumed. The BCU odometer value is stored in EEPROM. If 16 identical values of the instrument pack odometer
reading is received consecutively, the instrument pack odometer value is compared with the BCU odometer value. If
the consecutive readings from the instrument pack differ, the BCU odometer value is incremented accordingly. If the
BCU odometer value is less than the instrument pack odometer value by up to 10 km, the BCU odometer value is set
equal to the instrument pack odometer value.
If the odometer warning option is enabled, and the contents of the instrument pack odometer value buffer is identical
to, or greater than BCU odometer value
± 10 km, the BCU sends an LED flash request to the instrument pack.
In the event of a communications link failure, this function will be unable to operate.
Gear position indicator illumination
On automatic gearbox models, two variations of illumination for the gear position indicators on the selector lever can
be programmed into the BCU. In option 1, illumination is provided when the ignition is on. In option 2, illumination is
enabled when the ignition is on and the side lamps are off.
Starter relay
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs and internal BCU conditions to determine whether or not to provide
an output to enable the starter relay:
lAutostart inhibit (vehicles with automatic gearbox only).
lSecurity start inhibit (immobilisation check).
lEngine running (link to instrument pack).
lEEPROM locked (internal check).
lIDM and BCU matched.
When the BCU receives a crank signal from the ignition switch, an earth path is completed to the starter relay coil,
provided that the security system has been de-activated. If the ECM has not received a valid unlock/ remobilise signal,
the starter relay will be disengaged and the engine stopped. The BCU also receives an engine running signal from
the instrument pack, so that if the ignition key is turned to the crank position while the engine is running, the starter
motor relay will not be engaged.
If the logic conditions are correct to allow starter operation, the completion of the earth path from the starter relay coil
to the BCU energises the coil and the relay contacts close to supply battery power to the starter motor.
When the ignition switch is released from the crank position, the power supply feed from the ignition switch to the
starter relay coil is interrupted and the relay contacts open to prevent further battery feed to the starter motor.
If a communications link failure is experienced, the BCU will be prevented from detecting the 'engine running'
condition and the BCU will default to assume that the engine is not running.
