CAR/KEY CONFIGURATION AND THE ZCS CODING CONVERSION FEATURE
The ZCS Coding Conversion feature is still utilized for changing other system functions as
in the past. For example: The Language Display Change for the instrument cluster display
block is only available using the Coding Conversion feature.
CAR/KEY MEMORY SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS
Replacing Car or Key Memory Configured Control Modules:
If a Car/Key Memory capable control module becomes defective and needs replacement,
the specific customized data will be transferred over to the new replacement unit during the
ZCS encoding process.
If this is not possible due to extensive control module failure, the owner must be made
aware of the situation and requested to provide the options they originally selected. For this
reason, it is advantageous to print the selected features as mentioned in the CAR & KEY
MEMORY configuration procedures.
FZV Key Initialization Procedure:
Also mentioned in the FZV section of this manual, If FZV keys need re-initializing, make sure
they are initialized in the same order. Adhere to the colored label identification system for
proper key initialization sequencing.
Technician Awareness:
Car Memory/Key Memory Configuration obviously changes the functionality of the systems.
Before concluding a specific system is defective, review the Car/Key memory selection for
the vehicle you are working on. There may be an owner selected function activated that is
not a common selection, causing misunderstanding of the system's function.
When working on a Car/Key Memory capable vehicle, avoid using the FZV keys. Use the
driver’s door lock to lock and unlock the vehicle to maintain the owners memorized settings.
If settings had to be modified as part of repair procedure, inform service advisor of situation
to convey to vehicle owner.

POWER WINDOWS
The power window operation on the E53 is similar to previous systems. Features of the
system include:
• Control of the front and rear door window motors is carried out directly by the GM.
• One-touch operation in both directions on all four windows.
• Cable type window regulator used for all windows.
• Anti-trap detection is provided by the pressure sensitive finger guard .
• Push/pull window switches
• The rear window switches located in the rear doors can be deactivated by the pressing
child lock out switch in the center console.
• Convenience closing/opening of the windows from the driver's lock cylinder or
convenience opening only from the FZV remote key (FZV operation can be owner
customized with the Car Memory Function).
• Window operation with the ignition switched off until a door is opened or 16 minutes has
elapsed after the key is switched off.
• Window load switching is through relays integral of the GM for rear windows and in the
respective door switchblock modules for the front windows. The current draw is
monitored for end limit position. The maximum run time for the window motors is limited
to 8 seconds. This allows the motors to be switched off if the end limit load sensing fails.

WINDOW ANTI-TRAP DETECTION
The window anti-trap detection feature is only active in the one touch and convenience
close modes of operation. If the window switch is pushed/pulled and held, the Anti-trap
feature will not function.
The rubber pressure guard located at the top
edge of each door frame consists of two contact
strips that close when subjected to pressure.
This provides anti-trap detection and signal
generation to the GM.
When the contact strip closes, the window
immediately (10ms) reverses direction as with
previous anti-trap systems. The contact strip
does not require that the anti-trap feature be
initialized prior to operation.
The pressure sensor finger guard has a
resistance of 3.0 KOhm and it is monitored for
open circuit. When pressed, the monitored
resistance changes to <1KOhm. Faults with the
anti-trap system require that the window switch
be held to close the window.
CONVENIENCE OPENING/CLOSING
The GM and Front Door Switchblock Modules provide the convenience open/close feature
providing control of the power windows (and sunroof) from outside the vehicle with the key
in the driver’s door lock. The FZV provides the same function for the opening only.
• The anti-trap feature is active during convenience closing from the driver’s door lock.
• The convenience open feature provides outside activation of the windows and sunroof
in the same manner.
• If the GM receives a request to operate convenience close or open for more than 110
seconds, the function is deactivated and a fault code is stored.
• The Car Memory Feature can activate and deactivate the Convenience Open Feature
from the FZV’s control.

SHD SELF DIAGNOSIS
The SHD monitors its operation and stores fault codes if a defect is determined: The SHD
monitors the following conditions:
• SHD motor relays:The relays are checked for sticking contacts (plausibility) and non
functional contacts.
• Hall effect position sensors:The SHD must detect a pulse frequency from the hall
effect sensor(s) during operation.
• Sunroof Switch: The SHD monitors the signal plausibility of the coded signaling from
the sunroof switch.
SUNROOF FAULT RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
If a fault occurs with any of these functions, the SHD responds as follows:
• Overrides the end run detection.
• Switches the motor off if the relay contacts stick for more than 500 ms.
• Switches the motor off if pulses are not received.
EMERGENCY OPERATION OF SUNROOF
If the sunroof motor does not respond to the switch signals, the hex key in the trunk lid tool
kit is used to manually turn the motor shaft drive as on previous systems

AUTOMATIC CONTROL FUNCTION
The GM provides 12 volts (linear application providing soft on feature) to the interior light-
ing circuit when the one of the following input signal statuses change:
• Door contact hall sensor active (door opened)
• An Unlock request from the driver's door key lock hall sensors are received. This only
occurs if the ignition switch is off.
• An Unlock request is from the FZV keyless entry system is received via the K bus. This
only occurs if the ignition switch is off as well.
• The ignition switch is switched off and the vehicle exterior lights (LCM III) have been on
for a minimum of 2 minutes prior. This information is provided to the GM via the K bus.
• Active crash signal from the MRS III control module.
• Lock button of FZV key is pressed with the vehicle is already locked (interior search
function).
The GM gradually reduces the full 12 volt power supply (linear reduction providing soft off)
until the lights are off when the following input signal statuses change:
• Immediately after the ignition switch is turned to KL R with the driver's door hall sensor
door contact closed.
• When the vehicle is locked (single or double) with the door contacts closed.
• When the vehicle door contacts are closed. The lights remain on for 20 seconds and
then go to soft off.
• After the interior search function is activated, the lights will automatically turn off (soft off)
after 8 seconds.
• After 16 minutes with a door contact active (open door) and the key off, the lights are
switched off (consumer cutoff function).
• The component activation function of the DIS also has the ability to switch the lights.
The Interior lighting output circuit of the GM is approximately 3.5 amps with all lights on.

DWA ARMING/DISARMING
• The DWA is armed every time the vehicle is locked from the outside with the door lock
cylinder or FZV key.
• The LED in the rear view mirror flashes as an acknowledgment along with the exterior
lights and a momentary chirp from the siren.
• The GM monitors all required input signals for closed status (door closed, tailgate
closed, etc.) The inputs must be in a closed status for a minimum of 3 seconds for the
GM to include them as an activation component. If after 3 seconds any input signal not
in the closed status is excluded (this is acknowledged by the DWA LED) preventing false
alarm activation's.
• If the DWA is armed a second time within 10 seconds, the tilt sensor and interior pro-
tection sensor are also excluded as alarm activation components. This function is use-
ful if the vehicle is transported on a train or flat bed truck to prevent false alarm activa-
tion's.
• While armed the tailgate can be opened with out the alarm being triggered as follows:
- If opened with the tailgate remote button via the FZV, the GM prevents the alarm
from activating. (This feature is customizable under the Car Memory function).
- If opened with the key at the tailgate lock cylinder the tailgate key position switch
signals the GM and in the same manner prevents the alarm from activating.
In either case, when the tailgate is returned to the closed position, it is no longer con-
sidered as an activation signal.
Panic Mode Operation: When the tailgate button is pressed and held, the GM is signaled
to activate the siren for the Panic Mode. The panic mode will function with either an armed
or disarmed DWA system.
EMERGENCY DISARMING
Emergency disarming occurs automatically if a key is used to turn the ignition switch on and
the EWS III accepts it. The EWS III signals the GM to unlock the doors and deactivate the
DWA.
