BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-24 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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.
The heated rear window 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 rear window switch is operated, it completes a path to earth, signalling a
request for heated rear window operation to the BCU. The BCU then supplies a feed to the heated rear window switch
to light the switch indicator, and earths the supply from the coil of the heated rear window relay via the IDM to turn the
heated rear window elements on. The BCU maintains a supply for a predetermined time (15 minutes), then opens the
earth path after the time-out period to turn the heated rear window operation off. If the heated rear window 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 rear window 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 rear window 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 rear window enable is on, the relay and lamp
will be de-activated.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
86-4-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Perimetric alarm
The perimetric alarm is used by the BCU to detect unauthorised opening of a door or hinged panel. Switches
incorporated into the door latch assemblies and the bonnet determine the state of the panels.
There are two perimetric alarm configurations:
lAlarm not active.
lAlarm active.
Arming: To arm the perimetric alarm, press the lock button on the handset or lock the vehicle using the key in the
driver's door. Once the alarm has been set, the BCU monitors the state of the doors and the bonnet.
In order to arm the perimetric alarm the following conditions must be met:
lDrivers door closed.
lKey not inserted in ignition switch.
lFuel cut-off switch not tripped.
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.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-19
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.
Super locking
Super locking prevents the use of the interior door handles to unlock and open the vehicle doors. This prevents the
doors from being opened if the window be smashed in an attempt to gain access to the vehicle.
There are four configurations for super locking:
lNo super locking.
lSuper locking on single handset press only (no key activated super locking).
lSuper locking on single handset press or single key turn.
lSuper locking on double handset press or double key turn.
To super lock, press the lock button on the handset once or twice within one second depending on system
configuration. In some configurations, it is also possible to super lock the vehicle using the key in the driver's door.
This also may require one or two turns of the key in the lock direction. If two turns of the key are required to activate
super locking, the two turns must occur within one second of each other.
In order to super lock the vehicle, the following conditions must be met:
lAll door are closed.
lThe ignition is off.
lThe fuel cut-off switch is not tripped.
Partial arming
Partial arming allows protection of as much of the vehicle as possible if the alarm is armed with one or more doors or
the bonnet open.
Partial arming allows the vehicle alarm to be armed even if the following conditions exist. When the bonnet or door is
closed, the BCU activates the perimetric alarm and the volumetric alarm after 15 seconds have elapsed:
lThe bonnet is not closed: If the bonnet is open when the alarm is armed, the BCU activates super locking and
volumetric sensing. In this condition, the alarm enters a partially armed state. All other functions of the alarm are
active and the BCU monitors the bonnet for a change of state. If the bonnet closes, the system is completely
armed.
lThe passenger door, a rear door or the tail door is not closed: If a door is open when the alarm is armed, the BCU
does not activate super locking or volumetric sensing. In this condition the alarm enters a partially armed state.
All other alarm functions are armed and the BCU monitors the open door. If the door closes volumetric sensing
and super locking become active.
lFailure of a door latch switch: If a short circuit in the door latch switch occurs, the BCU presumes the door is not
closed. In this situation the BCU does not activate super locking or volumetric sensing. All other alarm functions
are armed.
lDamaged wiring harness: If a short circuit in the wiring harness for the door latch switch occurs, the BCU
presumes the door is not closed and does not activate super locking or volumetric sensing; all other alarm
functions are armed. If an open circuit in the wiring harness for the door latch switch occurs, the BCU presumes
the door is closed and arms the alarm as normal.

ALARM SYSTEM AND HORN
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-4-23
Depending on which market the vehicle is sold, either the vehicle horn, a specific alarm sounder, or a BBUS operates
in phase with the direction indicators when the alarm is triggered. The audible warning device operates for
approximately 30 seconds at 0.25 second on, and 0.25 second off. The BCU allows the alarm to be triggered up to 3
times in any armed period.
Theft deterrent LED
An LED located in the instrument pack indicates the status of the alarm system.
There are eight theft deterrent alarm configurations:
lNo handset low battery warning.
lHandset low battery warning.
lNo passive immobilisation.
lPassive immobilisation.
lEngine immobilised (ignition off, LED off).
lEngine immobilised (ignition off, LED flashes).
lNo alarm tampered indication.
lAlarm tampered indication.
The theft deterrent LED utilises a particular flash to show the status of the following:
lAlarm armed.
lEngine immobilised.
lAlarm tampered.
lHandset low battery warning.
Transit mode
To prevent excessive battery drain during transportation to overseas markets, the vehicle is placed in a transit mode
at the end of line test.
The following functions are disabled when the vehicle is in transit mode:
lVolumetric sensors.
lPassive immobilisation.
lMobilisation of the vehicle by use of door lock.
lIgnition key interlock.
lElectric seat enable time-out with drivers door open.
To exit this mode, switch on the ignition and simultaneously hold down the heated rear window and the rear fog lamp
switch for 2 seconds.
Transit mode can be entered using Testbook.

86-5-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
Body Control Unit (BCU)
RHD shown, LHD similar
The BCU controls all operations for the front windows. It controls the voltage and the earth paths to the window
motors, it controls one-touch down operation and it detects stall conditions. Stall detection protects the system from
sustained high current draw that occurs when a window reaches the fully up/down position or becomes stuck. When
the BCU detects a stall condition, it disables operation at the stalled window until the window switch is released. Upon
releasing the window switch, the BCU allows normal window operation.
The BCU receives power from fuse 34 (30A) of the passenger compartment fusebox. There is a unique earth signal
between each pole of the front window switches and the BCU. This allows the BCU to determine which window motor
to operate as well as which direction to operate the motor. The BCU operates the front window motors directly. There
are no relays or switches between the BCU and the window motors.
The BCU disables stall detection on the front windows for a period of 500 ms when an electric window operates to
allow for initial current surge to the window motor. After this period, if the BCU detects a stall signal (high current draw)
for more than 300 ms, it disables the window motor until the window switch is released.
The BCU also contains the ignition switched off timeout information for both the front and the rear windows. It controls
the rear window timeout function through the IDM.
TestBook communicates with the BCU and can determine the status of the front window switches. TestBook can also
operate both front windows. TestBook can only determine rear window timeout status. It cannot determine the status
of the rear windows, nor can it operate the rear windows.
Do not feed TestBook cables through open windows as the windows operate while performing test.
