2005 BMW X5 door lock

• Key in the neutral position, both sensors are
simultaneously influenced by the magnet -
0/0.
• Key turned to the unlock position from neu-
tral, hall sensor #1 magnet segment moves
away from hall sensor - 1/0.
• Key turned to lock position from neutral, hall
sensor #2 magnet segment moves away
form hall sensor - 0/1.
There are two motors incorporated in each actuator
that provide two separate functions:
Single lock/unlock function: Also known as central
lock, this motor controls the mechanical lock mecha-
nism when the central lock button is pressed to single
lock the vehicle.
The lock mechanism is fully locked at this point but can
still be opened from the interior by pulling the appropr-
iate interior door handle twice or by pressing the cen-
tral lock button again. When single lock function is acti-
vated, the fuel filler flap actuator is not locked.
Double lock/unlock function: Also known as central
arrest, this motor is activated only when the vehicle is
locked from the exterior at the driver’s door lock with a
key or when the GM receives a lock request from the
Key-less entry system. In this case the double lock
motor is activated simultaneously with the single lock
motor.
The function of the double lock motor is to mechani-
cally offset an internal rod disabling it from unlocking
the vehicle from the interior. This prevents the doors
from being unlocked by any means except from an
unlock request at the driver’s door or via the Key-less
entry.

Door Contact Hall Sensor: Also included in the drivers door actuator is a third hall effect
sensor. This sensor signals the door open/closed status to the GM. This sensor replaces
the door jamb mechanical switch of previous systems. The rotary latch plate position acti-
vates the door contact hall sensor.
• When the door latch is closed, current flow
through the sensor is <5 mA (0).
• When the door is open, current flow through
the sensor is >12 mA (1).
The passenger side front door and both rear
door lock actuators only include this hall effect
sensor (hall sensor 3). Hall sensors 1 & 2 are
not required.
Trunk Lid Close (E38 SCA)/Tailgate and Window Latching System (E39/E53): The
tailgate/trunk lid is opened by any of the three input signals: FZV, remote button and unlock
switch pad (push - trunk lock cylinder E38).
These inputs request the rear latch
actuator control circuit to be
switched to ground (exception:
presence of road speed signal,
key on with FZV request.)
The rear latch actuator unlatches
the mechanism and signals the
GM of the open latch status. The
SCA motor rotates the striker
180
O. Feed-back signalling stops
the motor. E38 - When closing the
trunk lid the trunk latch micro-
switch signals the GM to activate
the SCA motor to pull the lid
down.
Rear window unlatching is requested by the rear window switch ground signal. This signal
initiates activation of the rear window actuator relay control circuit which activates the rear
window actuator. The actuator unlatches the mechanism opening the window. The latch
simultaneously provides an open window signal for the rear window wiper motor module
as well as an interior light on request (via the wiper module).

Remote (Keyless) Entry FZV
Purpose of the System
The Remote Entry System offers the following:
• Locking/unlocking of doors, luggage compartment (tailgate), fuel filler lid.
• Selective unlocking of driver’s door (same as with key in the lock cylinder).
• Arming/disarming of DWA alarm system.
• Remote unlocking of the trunk (tailgate) only.
• Comfort opening of windows and sunroof.
• Interior lighting activation (search mode).
• Panic mode alarm activation.
• Changing code signals - coded signals from transmitter change with every operation.
• Automatic correction for up to 1000 erroneous activation signals.
• Transmitter initialization procedure - including up to four key operation and Key Memory.
• Replacement batteries.
• Low transmitter battery in vehicles equipped with Check Control.

The Remote Entry System incorporated minor changes since the original introduction
which includes:
• The control electronics are incorporated into the GM III.
• The antenna is incorporated into the rear window lower heater grid.
• The remote key receiver is installed in the left “C” pillar. The receiver produces a digital
signal based on the transmitter command and sends it to the GM for processing. The GM
then carries out all remote entry operations either directly or through the door modules
for the front doors. The frequency at which the key transmits the radio signal to the ant-
enna amplifier is 315 MHz.
Vehicle/Key Memory
The Vehicle/Key Memory feature provides the flexibility of allowing the owner to customize
certain functions of select vehicle systems and automatically identifies users of the vehicle
by a key identification signal provided by the remote keyless entry system (FZV).
Vehicle & Key memory is marketed as a combined feature but is actually two separate func-
tions of the select vehicle control systems.

Vehicle Memory: The owner is provided with a list of available system functions that can
be customized to their liking. Prior to delivery, the DISplus or MoDiC is used to encode the
owner’s chosen selections into the appropriate control modules.
These choices become a permanent function of the control module and can only be
changed by re-encoding with the DISplus or MoDiC at a BMW Center.
This feature has been available for some time via the ZCS Conversion Feature but has
never been fully utilized or officially presented to the vehicle owner as a feature of their vehi-
cle.
Key Memory: This feature provides the added convenience of identifying users of the vehi-
cle whenever a lock or unlocked signal is generated via the individual FZV keys. A maxi-
mum of four FZV keys can be used with the Key Memory feature.
Each of the four keys generate a unique key identification signal (key number) that is trans-
mitted simultaneously with the lock/unlock signals to the General Module. Key Memory
does not respond to Lock/Unlock requests from the drivers door lock.
Mostof the key memory functions require the vehicle be configured using the “KEY MEM-
ORY” function of the DIS or MoDiC. However, there are a few features that store settings
automatically without configuration such as IHKA blower speed and temp setting. The key
ID signal alerts the GM to communicate with select control systems over the K Bus to store
(when locked) or reset (when unlocked) certain driver adjustable settings.
There are features that function as both a Car & Key Memory feature.
Example; the Automatic Seat Adjustment feature is encoded as a Car Memory Function
with the following possibilities:
• When unlocking,
• When opening a door after unlocking
• Or not active at all.
If active, the seat positions are stored and reactivated by the Key Memory function for indi-
vidual users of the car.

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
33
Central Body Electronics ZKE III

• Signal "NG"; switched ground output signal provided to the GM. The signal is used for
two purposes,
1. As a momentary acknowledgment that the tilt sensor received STDWA and is cur-
rently monitoring the vehicle angle.
2. If the tilt sensor detects a change in the vehicle's angle when DWA is armed, signal
NG is switched to inform the GM to activate the siren.
When the tilt sensor receives the STDWA signal from the GM it memorizes the vehicle's
parked angle. The angle of the vehicle is monitored by the solid state electronics. Once
armed, if the angle changes, the tilt sensor provides a switched ground signal to the GM
to activate DWA.
As with the interior sensor, the tilt sensor is also 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 for transportation purposes.
Glass Breakage Sensors (Early E38 - before FIS Sensor): The door windows (includ-
ing the rear quarter glass wire loop) are monitored by inductive sensors mounted on the
inside of the door behind the trim panel. A closed window is recognized by a magnetic plate
on the glass lining up with the sensor.
If the glass is broken, the plate falls away and the signal from the sensor changes and the
GM will activate the alarm.
Alarm Siren: The alarm siren is mounted in the rear wheel well, behind the inner wheel
housing cover (early E38 used an alarm horn). The E53 alarm siren is located in the left side
of the engine compartment.
The siren contains electronic circuitry for producing the warn-
ing tone when the alarm is triggered. The siren also contains a
rechargeable battery that is used to power the siren when the
alarm is triggered.
The rechargeable battery will allow the siren to sound if it or the
vehicle’s battery is disconnected. The siren battery is
recharged, from the vehicle’s battery, when the alarm is not in
the armed state.
