2006 BMW X5 relay

All window operations signals are digital inputs to the door module and GM III.
• Comfort closing/opening of the windows from the driver’s lock cylinder. The remote key
provides opening only.
• When the ignition key is in accessory or “on” position press the switch to open or close
the windows. Window operation is possible with the ignition switched off until a front
door is opened or 16 minutes (maximum) has elapsed.
• Window load switching is through relays. The front window control relays are located in
the door modules, the rear window relays are in the GM III. The GM III monitors the cur-
rent draw for end limit position. The maximum run time for the window motors is limit-
ed to 6 seconds in the one-touch mode. This allows the motors to be switched off if the
end limit load sensing fails.
E53 Style Window Switches:The E53 power window switch design is a push - pull type
switch. Each switch provides the GM with the coded ground signaling strategy as previous
two wire switches.
Pushing a switch to the first detent and holding
provides
a single ground signal on one wire
requesting the GM to operate the window
motor in the down direction.
When released, the ground signal is removed
and the window motor stops.
Momentarily pushing the switch to the second
detent and releasing provides
an additional
ground signal on the second wire requesting
the “one touch mode”, operating the window
motor automatically.
The motor runs the window down until it reach-
es the end stop.
The switch functions in the same manner for
the upward run of the window motor but the
ground signal sequencing is reversed.

Power Window Motors: The window motors are mounted on the cable regulators. The
window motor control circuit consists of two wires for operating the motor in both direc-
tions.
The motors are activated by relays in the GM of door
modules (front doors). The relays provide either power
or ground depending on the direction of window travel.
The GM controls the polarity of the motor based on a
request to run the window (window switch,
Convenience Opening/ Closing).
The windows are run to the limit stops which is detect-
ed by an amperage increase in the control circuit.
Additionally, the window run cycle is limited to a 6-8
second duration if in case the amperage increase is not
detected or there is a malfunction with the regulator.
Window Motor Limit Stop Function: If the windows are run up and down continuously
a limit stop function is activated to prevent the window motors from overheating. The GM
monitors the number of times the window motors are activated. Each cycle is counted and
stored in memory.
If the repetitive window activation (up/down) exceeds one minute, the GM deactivates the
internal relays and disregards any further input requests. The GM provides motor activation
after a short duration but not for the full one minute monitoring cycle. Over time, the GM
slowly reverses the stored count of activation until the stored number equals 0.
Convenience Opening/Closing: The GM provides 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 cylinder. 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.

Sunroof Motor/Module (SHD): The motor is powered to open, close and lift the sunroof
panel. The motor contains two hall effect sensors that monitor the motor shaft rotation pro-
viding sunroof panel position.
The hall sensors also provide the end limit cut
out function for the SHD once the system is ini-
tialized. The SHD counts the pulses and cuts
the motor out prior to the detected end run of
the sunroof panel.
The combined motor module has a pin con-
nector for interfacing the switch, and vehicle
harness (power, ground and Bus.)
The electronic controls and relays are contained in the sunroof module (PM-SHD). The
module is connected to the P-Bus (E38 >99 MY on the K-Bus) for comfort closing/open-
ing and diagnosis/fault memory purposes.

Workshop Hints
SHD Self Diagnosis
The SHD monitors 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 the 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.

General Functions of ZKE III
Consumer Cut Off
The Consumer Cut Off function interrupts battery voltage to circuits preventing inadvertent
battery drain if one of these consumers were to remain activated. Circuits controlled by
consumer cut off will be switched off as the GM enters into the sleep mode.
For example, the interior lights are connected to the consumer cut out circuit (KL 30) and
can remain on if one of the control switches are left on. The consumer cut off will deacti-
vate KL 30 to the interior lighting after 16 minutes (or with the DISplus/MoDIC).
The following circuits are con-
trolled by consumer cut off:
• Map/Reading Lights
• Glove Box/Luggage Compart-
ment Lights
• Transmission Range Indicator
Light
• Overload Protection Relay for
- Power Seat Motors
- Steering Column Motors
Overload Protection
The seat and steering column motors receive
operating power through the consumer cutoff/
overload protection relay module. The consumer
cutoff signal from the GM signals the relay to
maintain operating power to the consumers.
If the relay module detects an increase in amper-
age (overload) the relay will open. The relay mod-
ule (K-72) is located in the electrical carrier
behind the glove box. The relay is reset by
switching the ignition “off” for 16 minutes, dis-
connecting the relay or the DISplus/ MoDIC.
