E63 and E64 Production: All After completion of this module you will be able to: • Identify and locate electrical components • Explain the operation of body electrical systems • Diagnose body electrical systems • Perform various service related functions 9 E6x Body Electronics General Vehicle Electrical Systems This module contains information pertaining to various body electrical systems. The vehicles covered include the E60, E61, E63 and E64. The primary focus will be on the E60. Differences between the E60/E61 and the E63/E64 body electronics will be pointed out as necessary. Unless otherwise mentioned, the E63/E64 body electronics are identical to the E60. E60 E61 E63 E64 The components and operation of the following electrical systems will be presented KBM Anti-theft alarm system Interior lighting Windshield wiping and washing Exterior lighting Sliding/tilting sunroof Car Access System (CAS) E61 Multi Drive Sunroof (MDS) Central locking system Active cruise control Power windows Park Distance Control Roller sunblind E63 Multi Drive Sunroof (MDS) AHL 10 E6x Body Electronics System Overview if Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Door Module, driver's side (TMFA) 10 Car Access System (CAS) 2 Driver's switch block module (SBFA) 11 Body Basic Module (KBM) 3 Driver's door lock actuator 12 Driver's side rear window switch 4 Driver's front power window motor 13 Driver's side rear door lock actuator 5 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) 14 Driver's side rear power window motor 6 Door Module, passenger side (TMBF) 15 Passenger side rear window switch 7 Passengerdoorwindow switch 16 Passenger side rear door lock actuator 8 Passengerfront door lock actuator 17 Passenger side rear power window motor 9 Passenger power window motor 11 E6x Body Electronics E63/E64 C hanges from E60 The function of the powerwindows correspond to those ofthe E60. However, the rear windows are fixed and the corresponding pins ofthe KBM are not used. The E63/E64 does not use switches for the rear driver or passenger door (window). Also the power window motors and regulator assemblies are also deleted. Otherwise the operation of the power window circuits is the same as the E60. □35S5 aa Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Door Module, driver's side (TMFA) 6 Passenger door module (TMBF) 2 Driver's switch block module (SBFA) 7 Power window switch, passenger front 3 Door contact, driver's doorfront 8 Door contact, passengerfront 4 Power window regulator, driver's front 9 Power window regulator, passengerfront 5 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) 10 Car Access System (CAS) 12 E6x Body Electronics General Electrical New Features KBM (Body Base Module) The KBM controls the following functions: • Rear Power Windows • Central Locking (Rear Doors,Trunk/Tailgate and Fuel Filler Flap) • Windshield Wiping/Wash System • Interior Lighting • Consumer Shutdown DoorModules The Door Module is integrated into the AS E. It communicates with other vehicle systems via the byteflight. The DoorModules contain the following functions: • MirrorAdjustment, Heating, Memory, Folding and Lighting • Central Locking (Front Doors Only) • F rant Power Windows (with indirect anti-trapping) • Connection to Driver's DoorSwitch Block • Connection to Passenger's Door Power Window Switch) • Door Entry Lights and Switch Illumination • Recording of Front Door Pressure Sensor Information CAS System The Car Access System (CAS2) is based on the CAS of the E65, however in the E60 the ignition starter switch and the CAS are two separate components. The E60 CAS is connected directly to the K-Bus and does not perform any repeater functions. PDC The signal from the PDC button is forwarded to the PDC Control Unit via the K-CAN. RDW (FTM) E60 uses RDW (FTM) for low tire warning. Information concerning low tire is based on wheel speed and is received from the DSC. RollerSunblind The rear window roller sunblind is controlled from the center console switch panel. The roller sunblinds for the side windows are manually operated. 13 E6x Body Electronics Multifunction Seat The multifunction seat makes it easier to get in and out of the vehicle. The backrest width and seat cushion depth are retracted forthis purpose. KBM 1 m Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Compact Disc Changer (CDC) 4 Adaptive Headlights (AHL) 2 Body Basic Module (KBM) 5 Tire Pressure Control (RDC) Not for US 3 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) Located in the equipment frame at the glove box, the KBM has 4 electrical connectors (X13252 54-pin, X13254 3-pin, X13253 13-pin, X13255 6-pin) and an operating voltage range of 9-16 Volts. The KBM is internally protected against shorts to terminal 30 or 31 and equipped with reverse polarity protection. 1. X13252 2. X13254 3. X13253 4. X13255 PowerWindows The front powerwindows are activated by the door modules of the respective door. The rear powerwindows are activated by the basic body module KBM. The powerwindows are operated as usual from the switch block in the driver's door (SBFA) and the switches in the other doors. Various safety functions and statutory requirements have been taken into consideration. 14 E6x Body Electronics Switch BlockSBFA All the windows may be operated from the SBFA.The Switch Block passes all window requests to the TM FA via the LIN Bus. LIN Bus The LIN Bus is a sub bus allowing communication between theTMFA and the SBFA. DoorModules The door module contains separate "modules" forthe door module electronics and the Advanced Safety Electronics. Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Mounting holes 5 Connection for input signals 2 Input channel to pressure sensor 6 Connection for interior mirror 3 Connection for switch block 7 Connection for exterior mirror 4 Connection for power supply The door module is the interface between: • Switch block, driver's door • Switch, passenger side • Door contact • Incremental sensor in power-window motor • byteflight • Power-window motor The driver's door switch block is linked to the driver's door module by means of an LIN- Bus. Control of mirror adjustment, heating and front area light is also integrated in the door modules. The AS E system is integrated in the DoorModules. The door modules also incorporate the activation system for side airbag deployment. The door module is powered with 10 Vfrom terminal 30 and with 10V by the SGM.The 10 V supply is buffered forthe function of the ASE system. When replacing the door module, bear in mind that the capacitor needs a few minutes to discharge. The airbag might be deployed if you replace the door module with the capacitor still charged. 15 E6x Body Electronics byteflight The byteflight bus system is involved in window operation as a method for door modules to communicate with the SGM. SGM The SGM converts and forwards messages to/from the byteflight and K-Can. K-CAN The K-CAN provides a communication path between the SGM, the CAS and the KBM as well as body modules. KBM The KBM receives input from the rear door window switches and the rear door contact switches and provides output to the rear window motors. The KBM also monitors the incremental sensor (hall sensors) in the rear window motors for position, speed and rotation. Additionally the KBM allows also for contact and control of the rear windows through CAN communication with the SGM. The KBM provides both power and ground to the rear window motors. 16 E6x Body Electronics PowerWindow Motors The drive mechanism of a powerwindow lift is a cable lift mechanism consisting of: • A DC motor • A reduction gear with incremental sensor (Hall sensor) • Evaluation Circuit • A shrouded connection The drive mechanism incorporates two Hall sensors, which are addressed by a magnet wheel mounted on the armature shaft. The two Hall sensors and the magnet wheel determine with the aid of the door module orthe KBM the direction of rotation, the speed and the position of the window. Powerwindow system, front Powerwindow system, rear Door Contacts The door contact switches, incorporated in the door latch mechanisms, provide door open/close data to the Door Modules/KBM. 17 E6x Body Electronics CAS The Car Access System control unit functions as the master for power window functions • Operation by radio remote control key • Comfort functions (One-Touch) Central-locking interface Country-specific programming Child lock n a- e- TMFA ASE ■pr fT.-rrtVl+T 7 } SGM & & V TMBF A ■ a s!

Indirect anti-trapping protection does not eliminate trapping completely but rather restricts it to a maximum permissible trapping force. For each subsequent closing operation, the currently required closing force is determined and compared with the stored value. If the difference between the two force values is over the specified trigger threshold, the direction of window movement is reversed imme¬ diately. The reversing procedure is country and function dependent (emergency mode). In order to ensure safe closing of the window glass, the drive mechanisms are briefly operated to their full extent when the zero position is reached at the upper stop. Power-window anti-trapping protection has been developed in accordance with legal requirements in order to reliably prevent injury to vehicle occupants. When an object is detected in the path of the window, window travel is stopped and the window rolled down slightly. Anti-trapping protection is deactivated by the emergency close function (panic mode). The control sequence is divided into two phases. 19 E6x Body Electronics Phase 1 The closing position is overpressed until the emergency close mode is activated after a specific response time. The window is closed at maximum speed and with increased anti-trapping protection force. Anti-trapping protection remains activated even during emergency closing. If trapping is detected, the window is reversed only a short distance. Phase 2 The button is released and overpulled again in 4 s.The window is now closed without anti-trapping protection with full force. In the event of blocking, the power-window motor is supplied with power until thermal protection is engaged. In the event of faulty anti-trapping protection, there is the option of emergency-closing the windows. If fully operational anti-trapping protection cannot be detected, e.g. faulty sensors, auto¬ matic operation is not permitted. Power Detection The system adapts itself to changes in the weather and environmental influences. The closing force is recorded by indirect sensors (Hall sensors) and limited accordingly. Initialization of Power Windows Front Windows RearWindows On Initial start-up, only the upper window stop has to be learned. Forthis purpose the window must be held for 500ms at the upper stop position. A characteristic curve in not learned for the front windows. The lower stop does not have to be approached. In orderto compensate for mechani¬ cal aging, an automatic readjustment of the end position is performed cyclically at the upper stop. Move window to full closed position and hold for at least 500ms. The rear windows must be initialized. During the initialization the end positions of the window travel are determined by limit runs into the upper window seal and to the lower window stop. Move window to full closed position and hold for at least 500ms. Move window to lower window stop and hold for 17 seconds. Move window to full closed and continue to hold the switch in the window closing direc¬ tion. The Window will open the close to confirm proper initialization. Note: This procedure is the same as E65. 20 E6x Body Electronics Workshop Exercise - Power Windows Using an instructor designated vehicle, perform the following operations as directed. Using proper repair instructions in WebTIS, remove drivers side door panel. Using the proper test cables, obtain the correct scope pattern of the LIN-Bus signal from the switch assembly to door module. What is the observed voltage range of the LIN Bus? Using the appropriate test cables, create a short circuit to ground on the LIN-Bus. What is observed when the LIN Bus is grounded? (failures, fault codes etc.) Using the appropriate test cables, create a short circuit to B+on the LIN-Bus. What is observed when the LIN Bus is shorted to B+? (failures, fault codes etc.) Perform Initialization on front windows. List proper steps and relevant observations. Perform Initialization on rear windows. List proper steps and relevant observations. 21 E6x Body Electronics Check the anti-trap feature on both the front and rear windows. Is the anti-trap closing force approximately the same on both the front and rear? Is the anti-trap closing force the same for the entire window travel? Perform the anti- trap test again quickly after performing the test a first time. Is the closing force the same as on the first test? Notes: 22 E6x Body Electronics Slide/Tilt Sunroof cued; 1. Car Access System (CAS) 2. SHD module with integrated electronics 3. Sunroof switch 1. Sunroof switch 2. SHD module with integrated electronics 3. Car Access System (CAS) Slide/Tilt Sunroof Push-Button The push-button forthe slide/tilt sunroof (SHD) switches to ground.The powersupply of the push-button features polarity reversal protection and is disconnected from the power supply in the event of overvoltage and in sleep mode. Slide/Tilt Sunroof Module The SHD module controls and monitors the electric motor and therefore the movement of the slide/tilt sunroof. The commands the driver selects with the push-button are trans¬ ferred directly to the slide/tilt sunroof module. Communication with the vehicle is controlled via the K-CAN. The SHD module receives information relating to terminal 58g via the K-CAN from the light module. The SHD module controls the LEDs of the SHD push-button. Terminal 58g has a clock cycle of 200 Hz forthe purpose of dimming the lighting. Car Access System The CAS contains the master function for auto-remote opening. 23 E6x Body Electronics Functions Panic Mode Panic Mode is triggered by pressing and holding the SHD button in the 2nd notch position. With this function, the sunroof is closed without anti-trap or closing force limitation pro¬ tection. Panic close is possible only at speeds under 16 km/h. Emergency Operation In Emergency Mode, the sunroof only moves for 750ms at a time. The emergency func¬ tion is only available when the CAS has signaled the SHD control module, "Emergency Mode Enable", via the K-CAN. Emergency operation is active under the following conditions: • Coding Invalid • Defective Hall-sensor • Initialization incomplete If initialization is incomplete operation is permitted based on scaling or characteristic curves. With no scaling, movement is allowed only in the direction of the scaling position. With no characteristic curve learned, movement is only is the closing direction. Initialization Initialization of the Sunroof is performed as follows: • Press the operating switch to the "Lift" position and hold. • After 15 seconds, the sunroof will "Lift". Continue to hold the switch. • After approximately 5 seconds the sunroof will close. Continue to hold the switch. • The sunroof will then open completely and close completely. • If the switch is released at anytime during the procedure the operation must be repeated. Note: Anti-trapping protection does not function during the initialization process. 24 E6x Body Electronics E63 Glass Tilt Sunroof C hanges C ompared to the E 60 Instead of the slide/tilt sunroof, the E63 features a glass tilt sunroof. The sunroof visor is two-piece. Two motors are installed for operating the glass tilt sunroof. The system differs in design from the standard S HD, the Multi-Drive Sunroof module (M DS) contains the operating electronics forthe sunroof motors (2). The M DS and the sunroof motors are separate components ratherthan the integrated style ofthe SHD. System Components The following components relating to the glass tilt sunroof are fitted in the vehicle: • Control button for glass tilt sunroof • Control unit, multi-drive sunroof MDS, for glass tilt sunroof • Motor for glass tilt sunroof • Motor for sunroof visor Communication with other users in the vehicle, such as the Car Access System (CAS), takes place via the K-CAN. Control UnitMDS The M DS is installed in the carrier in the glove compartment. Functions Control Button The button functions are described in the Owner's Handbook. GlassTiltSunroof The functions ofthe glass tilt sunroof are based on the tilt functions ofthe E60 slide/tilt sunroof. SunroofVisor The functions ofthe sunroof visor are based on the functions ofthe sunroof visor for the panoramic glass sunroof 25 E6x Body Electronics TMFA hylsfNght SGM MDS K-CAN TMBF 14 a S "n O Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Lock cylinder, driver's door 8 Car Access System (CAS) 2 Door contact, driver's door 9 Motorfor glass tilt sunroof 3 Driver's door module (TMFA) 10 Motorfor sunroof visor 4 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) 11 Sunroof switch 5 Passengerdoormodule (TMBF) 12 Multi-Drive Sunroof module (MDS) 6 Door contact, passenger side 13 Light Module 7 Cas Access System (CAS) 14 Light M odule control switch 26 E6x Body Electronics Service Information Initialization Initialization of the glass tilt sunroof is based on that of the E60. The glass tilt sunroof can be initialized either via the control button or the tester. Only full initialization will ensure complete operability of the glass roof. Manual Initialization with Control Button The characteristic curve is relearned during every new or re-initialization of the glass tilt sunroof. Preconditions The glass sunroof must be clean and be at room temperature. Terminal 15 ON must be applied. When the glass tilt sunroof is subsequently initialized using the control button, this button must remain pressed until the initialization procedure is concluded. The control button is pressed and held in the lift sunroof direction. The initialization run starts up approxlmately.15 seconds after pressing the control button. GlassTiltSunroof The glass tilt sunroof can be replaced only together with the sunroof visor. The motors and the control unit can be replaced individually. The MDS module must be encoded and initialized after replacement. 27 E6x Body Electronics E61 Panorama Glass Sunroof The panorama glass sunroof in the E61 is the same as the panorama glass sunroof on the E53 and the E83. The functional principle is therefore only briefly mentioned here. The Multi Drive Sunroof module (M DS) controls and monitors the electric motors and therefore the movement of the panorama glass sunroof. The MDS is installed on the carrier behind the glove compartment.

There are therefore three different functions available: a manual function, a pressure-point function and a double-click func¬ tion. The double-click function is when the control button is pressed beyond the pressure point orto the raise position twice in quick succession. This allows the customerto open or close the panorama glass sunroof automatically regardless of its current position. The current movement of the panorama glass sunroof can be stopped by pressing the control button in the opposite operating direction. The panorama glass sunroof control button switches to earth and is supplied with powerfrom terminal 58g via the M DS.

If the control unit recognizes a trapping situation, the corresponding motor is stopped and driven in the opposite direction. As a result, the roof panel or sunroof visor opens again (approximately. 15 cm) releasing the obstruction. 32 E6x Body Electronics Central Locking System The central locking system involves the actuation/evaluation of the doors, trunk and fuel filler flap. The central locking functions of the doors are equipped with double lock functions and operate in accordance with the two-motor principle. The door modules control the central locking functions of the front doors. The KBM controls the central locking in the rear area. 02114_02 Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Lock cylinder, driver's door 12 Door contact, driver's door 2 Trunk release button, interior 13 Central locking , driver's door 3 Central locking button 14 Door contact, front passenger door 4 Remote control (key) 15 Central locking, passenger door front 5 Lock cylinder, trunk/tailgate 16 Door contact, rear driver's side door 6 Trunk release button , exterior 17 Central locking, rear driver's side door 7 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) 18 Door contact, rear passenger side door 8 Car Access System (CAS) 19 Central locking, rear passenger side door 9 Driver's door module (TMFA) 20 Central locking, fuel fillerflap 10 Passenger door module (TMBF) 21 Central locking, tailgate 11 Body Basic Module (KBM) 33 E6x Body Electronics The central locking system consists of the following control inputs: • Driver's door lock cylinder • Center-lock button • Remote control key • Trunk lock cylinder The system can be additionally unlocked via the crash sensor and forced release is possi¬ ble by means of the "key inserted" signal in the CAS. A function is triggered when a status change at the respective input is detected. If several new ZV commands are given while a command is being carried out, only the last command will be subsequently exe¬ cuted. The CAS is the central locking master and is responsible for enabling all central locking procedures in the vehicle. The central locking can assume following statuses: Status Explanation Unlocked All locks are in the unlocked position, outer and inner door handles are operational. Selective Unlocked The driver's door in unlocked. All other locks are in the lock position. Locked All locks are in the lock position. Outer door handles are not operational. Inner door handles are operational Secured All locks are in the lock position. Inner and outer door handles are not operational. Opened At least one lock is in the unlocked position. Secure Lock (Double Lock) The secure lock function (locking of the vehicle from the outside using either the remote or the drivers door lock cylinder) uses a mechanical coupling to uncouple the locking pin of the doorfrom the lock.The vehicle can then no longer be opened by the following actions: • Pulling the locking buttons • Pulling the inner door handle • Pulling the outer door handle • Pressing the center-lock button Secure lock is only possible: • At terminal R off and key not inserted • After opening and closing the driver's door or Opening the passenger's door No action takes place following the secure lock request when the driver's door is open. A secure locked (secured) vehicle cannot be unlocked via diagnosis functions. A secure locked (secured) vehicle can be changed to "Lock status” by pressing the center console lock button (CLT). 34 E6x Body Electronics The vehicle lock status is changed from secure to unlocked when the CAS recognizes a valid transponder key has been inserted. Automatic Locking If the system is not yet locked or if a door was opened with the ZV locked, a lock com¬ mand is executed on exceeding a speed of 16 km/h. Crash Unlock In the event of a crash, the safety and gateway module (SGM) releases the central locking system (ZV)via the bus network at terminal R or 15. The ZV assumes "crash mode" even when the central locking was already unlocked. Crash unlock is disabled when the vehicle status is secure lock. Crash mode is released when an unlock/lock request is made.This corresponds to deac¬ tivation of crash mode. Power on Status The central locking status does not change by disconnecting and reconnecting the supply voltage. There is no reaction if command inputs are active while reconnecting the supply voltage (reset). DWA - Central Lock Interface The anti-theft alarm system DWA is notan integral part of the central locking system, however, it requires commands and signals from this system. The central locking system (ZV) monitors the status of the doors, hood,trunk, fuel filler flap and terminals. The DWA monitors the tilt alarm sensor (NG) as well as the ultrasonic interior protection system (USES). The DWA is armed by means of any valid ZS command from an authorized control point or via the remote control. An LED provides an optical signal of the DWA status. The tilt alarm sensor and interior protection are switched off if a ZS command is initiated within 3 s after initially arming the DWA. The luggage compartment is accessible without triggering alarm even when the DWA is armed via the remote control. An alarm is triggered if the lock cylinder on the trunk is operated mechanically with the DWA armed. Remote Control FBD Evaluation of the logic remote control (FBD) signals is integrated in the CAS control unit. In addition to various otherfunctions, the central locking functions that can be coded in the key memory can be selected "personalized" in the CAS control unit. It is possible to actuate the central locking by means of a second remote control with the key inserted. 35 E6x Body Electronics Different personalized functions can be selected depending on the type of remote control key used. The functions "selective ZV", "lock as from 16 km/h" as well as "lock after 2 minutes" can be coded in the CAS. The remote control number identifies the key on which the "unlock" button was last pressed. Irrespective of this function, the currently used key is always identified as the control point in connection with the "unlock trunk" function. Trunk Locking The trunk can be unlocked and opened via: • Radio remote control FBD • External trunk button on boot lid handle • Internal trunk button in driver's footwell • Lock cylinder on trunk; purely mechanical Hotel Setting The hotel setting is initiated via the lock cylinder of the trunk. The following control points are deactivated when the hotel setting is initiated: • Trunk button via remote control • Exteriortrunk button • Interior trunk button The trunk remains locked even when the vehicle is unlocked. The hotel setting is indicat¬ ed to the customer by means of the switch position. The push-button on the trunk is therefore only active when the vehicle is unlocked and stationary and not when the hotel setting is initiated. The interior button is additionally active even when the vehicle is locked but only up to the specified speed threshold. The system can always be unlocked via the remote control with the ignition key removed without the hotel setting engaged. Automatic Relock The central locking unlocks (selective or global, corresponding to coding) when a release command is triggered inadvertently via the remote control. If no door or hood/trunk is opened within 2 minutes, the central locking reassumes the locked status in connection with the coding "automatic relock." 36 E6x Body Electronics Car& Key Memory The central individualization elements are the coding data of the vehicle. Certain code- able functions are enabled for the car memory as part of the individualization procedure. In connection with the personalization, individual functions depending on the vehicle key, maximum 4, used to unlock the system, are also controlled forthe central locking. Otherwise the central locking operates in accordance with the coded basic setting. The central locking functions therefore depend on the personalization of the 4 vehicle keys and on the standard coding forthe vehicle. Codeable Key Memory Functions Coding Description Automatic relock Relock after 2 minutes Speed lock Lock from 16 km/h Selective unlock Only if the driver's door is unlocked Codeable CarMemory Functions Coding Description Terminal R prohibits trunk operation The trunk is not opened when terminal R is engaged Unlock on removing key The vehicle unlocks afterthe key is removed if the system was locked via the speed lock orterminal R lock. Crossover operation disabled A vehicle locked via the remote can not be unlocked with the key. 37 E6x Body Electronics Windshield Wiping/Washer System The wipe/wash system is a conventional wipe/wash system with reset contact. All wipe/wash functions can be activated with the wiper switch once terminal R is on. The rain and light sensor (RLS) is fitted as standard. Wiper system functions are vehicle speed dependent. To reduce noise and wear, the load circuit of the wiper motor has been designed as an external double relay. The wipers are driven by an electric motor with a reducer gear. A transistor is integrated in the body base module (KBM)forthe washer fluid pump. The wiper blades have a new method of attachment to the windshield-wiper arm. The wash/wipe system no longer has ball-and-socket type washer jets. Instead, fan-type jets are used (fluidic jets). The washer jet heater is controlled by the IHKA module. And a headlight cleaning system is offered as an option TheTouring (E61) has a rearwindow wiperwith a separate rear window washer pump as standard. System Components Wiper Switch The wiperswitch is operated by a brief press (similar to E65).The wiper switch does not lock into place. The signal from the wiperswitch is passed on by the steering column switch cluster (SZL)to the Safety and gateway module (SGM).The SGM transmits the signal to the KBM. The axial switch on the end of the wiperswitch is used to activate automatic mode (auto¬ matic control of wipers by rain/light sensor). When automatic mode is not active, intermit¬ tentwipermode is controlled according to vehicle speed. 38 E6x Body Electronics Wiper System Overview byte flight Kl. 3D Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Steering Column Switch 7 Wiper Motor 2 SZL 8 Wipe/Wash Relay 3 RLS 9 Washer Fluid Pump 4 SGM 10 SRA Relay 5 CAS 11 SRA Pump 6 KBM 39 E6x Body Electronics Rain and LightSensor(RLS) The rain/light sensor is integrated in the rear-view mirror pedestal attached to the windshield. The RLS is a combined rain sensor and ambient light sensor. It detects the amount of rain falling on the windshield in orderto control the windshield wipers, and the level of ambient light in orderto control the headlights. The rain sensor sends the "Switch on wipers" requestto the body basic module (KBM) via the body CAN-Bus (K-CAN). If the rain and light sensor should fail or be faulty, the KBM will take control. The KBM will switch to an emergency mode. Emergency mode is a speed-dependent intermittent mode. Safety and Gateway Module The SGM switches the wiper switch signal from the byteflightto the K-CAN via SZL. Steering Column Switch Cluster The steering-column switch cluster (SZL) forms the interface between the wiper switch and the Safety and gateway module (SGM).The signals are transmitted via the byteflight data bus. Integrated automatic heating and air-conditioning system The integrated automatic heating and air-conditioning module (IHKA) controls the washer-jet heating system. 40 E6x Body Electronics Body Basic Module (KBM) The body basic module (KBM) receives all the information that is required for operation of the wipe/wash system. The body base module activates the following components: • Dual relay module for the wiper motor • Relay for the headlight cleaning system • Washerfluid pump The KBM also controls the wash/wipe system on the Touring (E61) which also includes the wash/wipe system for the rear window). The body basic module is connected via the K-CAN and communicates with the: • Safety and gateway module (SGM) • Rain-light sensor (RLS) • Integrated automatic heating and air conditioning system (IHKA) The following systems are outputs/actuators ofthe wiper/washer system: Wiper Motor The wiper system is a twin-arm synchronous system with reciprocating action (four-bar linkage). The motor is a rotary motor without an electronic module and is controlled by KBM via a double relay. The wiper motor's end position (off position) is detected by a reset contact integrated in the wiper motor. The crank is permanently connected to the wiper motor. 41 E6x Body Electronics Touring (E61) The rear window wiper motor is mounted on the rear window and is controlled by the KBM via a relay. The rear window wiper motor's end position (off position) is detected by a reset contact integrated in the wiper motor. Windshield and RearWindow Washer Pump (on the Touring) Both washer pumps are attached to the washerfluid reservoir. The washer pumps are controlled by the KBM. The washer jets are not adjustable. The new-design washer jets (fluidic jets) produce a pulsating, fan-shaped jet of fluid. Headlamp Washer Pump The headlamp washer system is an option. The option includes a washerfluid reservoir which holds 5 liters instead of 3 liters. (Note: the Touring reservoir always holds 5 liters). The headlamp-washer pump is mounted on the washer-fluid reservoir. The washer pump is controlled by the KBM via a relay. Heated WasherJ ets The washer-jet heater system prevents the washer jets freezing in cold weather. The washer-jet heater system is controlled by the IHKA module on the basis of outside temperature (<3°C).The washer-jet heating system consists of heating resistors. System Functions The wash/wipe system incorporates the following functions: • Wiperfunctions • Windshield and rear window wash function (on the Touring) • Headlight washerfunction • Safety function Wiper Functions The windshield-wiperfunctions are available as soon as Terminal R status is ON. The following wiperfunctions are provided (see also wiper switch system): • Flick wipe (one-wipe) • Intermittent wipe • Wiper speed 1 • Wiper speed 2 • Automatic wipe controlled by rain-light sensor 42 E6x Body Electronics Touring (E61) The rear window is wiped intermittently (the customer can program the duration of the intervals, see Owner's Handbook). No wiper operation is allowed when the rear window is open (via rear window contact switch). When reverse gear is engaged intermittent operation switches to constant wiping. Windshield and Rear Window Wash Function (ontheTouring) The windshield-washerfunctions are available as soon as Terminal R status is ON. To operate the windshield washer, the wiper switch is pulled backwards (towards driver). Touring: To wash the rear window, the wiper switch must be pushed forwards (away from the driver) (speed 2). The washer pump continues running as long as the switch is held in that position. If the wiper switch is operated only momentarily (< 300 ms), only the washer pump switches on. If the switch is held in position for longer, the wipers come into action after a short delay. After the washer pump has switched off, the wipers complete three more wipes to dry the windshield. Headlamp Washer System When the low beams headlights are switched on, the headlamps are washed every 10th time the windshield washer is operated. After ignition ON and dipped beam headlights ON: The headlamps are cleaned at the same time as the first wash movement for the windshield. Wash-cycle sequence: • 0.7 seconds ON • 1.3 seconds OFF • 0.7 seconds ON After the headlamps have been washed, they cannot be washed again for another 10 minutes (repeat lock). The repeat lock is reset byTerminal R status OFF. 43 E6x Body Electronics Safety Function T he signal from the reset contact on the wiper motor (also the rear window wiper on the E61) is used as an anti-jamming function forthe wiper motor. If the signal from the resetting switch is not present when the wiper motor is switched on, the wiper motor is switched off again. The wiper motor can then only be switched on one more time. Afterthat, the wiper motor can only be switched on subject to the following conditions: • 3 minutes have elapsed • Terminal R OFF followed byTerminal R ON The wiper motor can only be switched on by operating the wiper switch (not automatical¬ ly due to risk of injury). Once the anti-jamming function has been activated, the windshield-washer and head¬ lamp-washer pumps can be operated 3 more times. Replacing the Wiper System Note: Operate the windshield-wiper switch before fitting the windshield-wiper arms. Press the windshield-wiper switch once before fitting the windshield-wiper arms. The wiper motor will then return to the parked position. A replacement windshield-wiper system is supplied set to the change-over position. This enables fitting of the left-hand mounting bracket (2 screws). 44 E6x Body Electronics Workshop Hints Wiper Blades The new-design wiper blades make removing/refitting easier and quicker. When the wiper blades are replaced, the wiper-blade bearings are replaced as well. Worn wiper blade bearings do not therefore necessitate replacement of the windshield-wiper arms. The angle at which the wiper blade is set on the windshield-wiper arm is adjustable (±4°). The wiper blades carry a model identification code (e.g. 5). The fixing geometry of the wiper-blade bearing prevents reversal of the left and right wiper blades. WasherJ ets The washer jets are no longer adjustable (not ball-and-socket type). The E60 is fitted with fluidic washer jets. These jets wet the entire surface of the windshield (fan-shaped jet). It is neither possible nor necessary for the customer/service technician to adjust the jet. 45 E6x Body Electronics Car Access System The CAS of the E60 is based on the CAS of the E65.The internal designation is CAS 2. The following changes have been made compared with the CAS of the E65: • Direct connection to the K-CAN • Repeater function has been omitted • Ignition starter switch and the CAS are 2 separate components • Data transfer as part of the Condition Based Service Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Light switch with control panel 4 CAS 2 Instrument Cluster 5 Light Module 3 SZL 6 TM FA 46 E6x Body Electronics The CAS includes the following functions: • Reading in ignition starter switch (ZAS) • Transponder authentication • Terminal control • Electronic immobilizer enable to injection system • Master function for central locking system (Z V) • Master function for power windows (FH)and slide/tilt sunroof (S HD) • Remote control services (FBD) • Internal CAS functions - Wake-up signals - Sleep signals • Vehicle functions - Personalization - Auto encoding of vehicle model/transmitter - Vehicle order - Total distance recorder - Condition Based Service CBS - Voltage supply, brake-light switch Wake-upTime The vehicle can be woken up by various control units.

Anti-theft Alarm System The anti-theft alarm system (DWA) detects and reports attempts at vehicle tampering or intrusion. The vehicle interior is monitored by the ultrasonic interior motion detector (USIS). If an attempt is made to break into the vehicle and to enterthe interior, the DWA alarm is triggered. A tilt alarm sensor integrated into the siren monitors the vehicle's position. The tilt alarm sensor detects if the vehicle is raised or towed away. The DWA system uses an acoustic alarm via siren and visual indication via the exterior lights which are controlled through the Lamp M odule (LM).

Movement is detected if the reflection (echo) of the ultrasonic waves changes. The sensitivity of the ultrasonic interior motion sensor can be adapted to different conditions (e.g. sliding/tilting sunroof open). US IS with integrated DWA module Tilt Alarm Sensor The tilt alarm sensor monitors the vehicle's horizontal position (inclination in longitudinal and lateral directions).The signal from the tilt alarm sensor is evaluated by the microproces¬ sor in the siren. The tilt alarm sensor detects a change in the vehicle position and triggers a DWA alarm. Hood Contact Switch The hood contact switch is a ground input to the CAS to indicate the status of the hood. The following control units are involved in the anti-theft alarm system: DWA Control Unit The DWA control unit is integrated into the housing forthe ultrasonic interior motion sensor. The DWA control unit activates the siren via a single-wire bus. The DWA control unit is connected to the K-CAN. Car Access System The CAS control unit monitors the status of the central locking system. The hood contact switch is connected to the CAS control unit. The opening of the hood is thus monitored (open orclosed).The CAS control unit feeds this signal to the DWA control unit via the K-CAN. The CAS control unit also supplies the flowing signals: • Trunk-lid unlocking via remote control • Key in ignition starter switch • Status of convenience opening/closing 55 E6x Body Electronics Driver's and Front-Passenger Door Modules The door modules (TMFA and TM BF) supply information about the position of the front powerwindows.The signal is fed to the DWA control unit via the K-CAN. In addition, the door modules monitorthe door contacts in the frontdoors. Body Basic Module (KBM) The KBM supplies the position ofthe rear powerwindows.The signal is fed to the DWA control unit via the K-CAN. The body basic module also monitors: • Door contacts in rear doors • Tailgate contact switch • Rear window contact switch (E61 only) Sliding/tilting Sunroof Control Unit The SHD control unit supplies information about the position ofthe sliding/tilting sunroof (or Panorama glass sunroof on the E61).The signal is fed to the DWA control unit via the K-CAN. Integrated Heating and Air Conditioning System The integrated heating and air conditioning system (IHKA) controls the independent ventilation function. The IHKA feeds this signal to the DWA control unit via the K-CAN. The signal for the independent ventilation function is needed to calibrate the sensitivity of the ultrasonic interior motion sensor. Light Module The light module (LM) actuates the lighting system for the visual DWA alarm. The DWA control unit feeds the triggering signal to the light module via the K-CAN. The following actuators are actuated for the anti-theft alarm system: Siren with Integrated Tilt Alarm Sensor The siren with integrate tilt alarm sensor (SINE) emits the acoustic DWA alarm. The DWA control unit activates the siren via a single-wire bus. In addition to the DWA alarm, the siren can also emit an acoustic confirmation signal when the system is primed or disarmed (can be set on the Central Information Display and controller). 56 E6x Body Electronics DWA LED The DWA LED is located on the underside of the interior mirror and provides a visual indication of the status of the alarm system. The DWA LED is directly actuated by the DWA control unit via a wire. The following displays are possible: • DWA LED off: DWA is disarmed. • DWA LED flashes (frequency = 0.5 Hz): DWA is primed. • DWA LED flashes with a frequency of 2 Hz for 10 seconds and then continues with a frequency of 0.5 Hz: DWA is primed but a door or hatch is not closed or a sensor is defective. • DWA LED flashes with a frequency of 2 Hz for 5 minutes and then continues with a frequency of 0.5 Hz: alarm is triggered. • DWA LED lights up for 2 seconds and then flashes with a frequency of 0.5 Hz: the ultrasonic interior motion sensor and the tilt alarm sensor are deactivated. 57 E6x Body Electronics Principle of Operation The anti-theft alarm system incorporates the following functions: • Priming/disarming • DWA alarm triggering (alarm-trigger signal) • Automatic adaptation of sensitivity of ultrasonic interior motion sensor • Deactivating interior motion sensor and tilt alarm sensor • Emergency function for acoustic DWA alarm • Combined operation with lock cylinder and remote control Arming (priming)/disarming The anti-theft alarm system is primed when the central locking is locked/deadlocked. Locking/deadlocking requires: The driver's door to be opened and closed after terminal 15 is switched OFF. The DWA control unit transmits the "Prime" message to the siren with integrated tilt alarm sensor (SINE) via the local data bus. The siren is then immediately primed. 3 seconds after being primed, the door and hatch contacts are monitored. The condition forthis is that the contacts have idle status (doors and tailgate / rear window on E61 closed). The DWA LED starts flashing and the hazard warning lights flash once as a visual confir¬ mation. Depending on the national version, a short acoustic warning tone may also sound from the siren (see national version). After the DWA has been primed and all doors and hatches are closed (including the rear window on the E61): • The ultrasonic interior motion sensor starts to map out the interior by means of ultra¬ sonic waves.The interiorcan be monitored after approximately 20 seconds. • The monitoring of the interior is interrupted if the side windows and/or the sliding/tilt¬ ing sunroof are closed using the convenience closing function. • Like the interior monitoring, the tilt monitoring does not start until the doors and hatches are closed. When it is activated, the tilt alarm sensorfirst conducts a 30 second long calibration sequence. Tilt monitoring does not start until the calibration sequence has been completed. • If the luggage compartment is opened during the calibration sequence, the calibra¬ tion sequence is interrupted.The calibration sequence is then restarted when the luggage compartment is closed again. The monitoring functions of the ultrasonic interior motion sensor and the tilt alarm sensor have priority. If a faulty door or hatch contact is detected, this will automatically be assumed to be closed. 58 E6x Body Electronics • The anti-theft alarm system is disarmed when the central-locking system is unlocked. The DWA LED stops flashing and the hazard warning lights flash twice as a visual confirmation. • The luggage compartment can also be unlocked and opened with the remote con¬ trol without the alarm being triggered, even if the alarm system is activated. When the luggage compartment is opened, the interior monitoring and tilt monitoring are deactivated. The interior monitoring and tilt monitoring are reactivated as soon as the luggage compartment is closed again. DWA Alarm Triggering (Alarm-trigger Signal) The DWA alarm is triggered if an alarm status is detected while the alarm system is activated. The following will triggerthe DWA alarm: • Forced opening of a door: Bus signal from door contact (via door modules or KBM. • Forced opening of luggage compartment: Bus signal from tailgate contact switch via KBM. • Forced opening of rear window on E61: Bus signal from rearwindow contact switch (via KBM) • Forced opening of hood: Bus signal from hood contact switch (via CAS) • Movement in interior: Signal from ultrasonic interior motion sensor • Vehicle in inclined position: Signal from tilt alarm sensor • Open circuit in local data bus (between DWA control unit and siren) • Monitoring of vehicle battery: - On-board supply voltage drops from 7.5 to 6.5 volts within 40 minutes - Battery positive cable cut through - On-board supply voltage >18 volts When a DWA alarm is triggered, the DWA control unit activates the siren via the local data bus. At the same time, the DWA control unit transmits a message through the K-CAN. The light module activates the visual alarm via the lighting system. The siren can trigger an acoustic alarm if it is separated from the vehicle electrical system by manipulation while the DWA is activated. If the local data bus is separated as this happens, the DWA control unit will also trigger the visual alarm. A DWA alarm will immediately be cancelled if: • The DWA is disarmed (e.g. with the remote control) • The message "key is in ignition lock" is detected (from CAS) 59 E6x Body Electronics CAS Authentication to PreventTampering To prevent the DWA from being easily disarmed by the central locking and tailgate status message "Central locking control" using a CAN tool, the CAS authenticates itself with the DWA. Each time an unlocked vehicle is locked for the first time, the CAS sends an authentica¬ tion to the DWA. Any further "locking" signals are then no longer accepted. When the system is disarmed, the DWA expects the CAS to again send authentication with the first locking operation. The system permits two disarming attempts with the wrong authentication, after which an alarm is issued. Forced Disarming The DWA is forcibly disarmed if a person located in the vehicle centrally locks the vehicle and then inserts the key into the ignition. The CAS evaluates this action and transmits a "locked" message.The DWA is thus disarmed. Independent Voltage Supply Due to the independent voltage supply, the emergency siren can issue an alarm even when the vehicle voltage supply is disconnected. The independent voltage supply is pro¬ vided by Lithium (Li) cells. The Li cells are not rechargeable. The status of the batteries can be read out via the diagnostics system. Reverse Polarity Detection The reverse polarity detection system detects reverse polarity in the event of the vehicle being jump-started and stores this in its information memory. System Power-Down for Storage If the emergency siren is disarmed and without an external power supply, the batteries switch to a low power status. Current consumption is then a maximum of 25 A. The electronics return the emergency siren to its normal operating status when the vehi¬ cle battery is reconnected. Bus Monitoring If the DWA detects messages on the local DWA bus that indicate attempts to disarm or tamper with the emergency siren orthe tilt sensor, an alarm will be triggered. 60 E6x Body Electronics Automatic adaptation of sensitivity of ultrasonic interior motion sensor To prevent false alarms, the sensitivity of the ultrasonic interior motion sensor is adapted to the vehicle's conditions. To do this, the DWA control unit (and thus also the ultrasonic interior motion sensor) receives the following information via the K-CAN: • Position of front power windows (door module, driver and front passenger) • Position of rear power windows (body basic module) • Position of sliding/tilting sunroof (sliding/tilting sunroof control unit) • Status of comfort functions, e.g. convenience opening (Car Access System) • Independent ventilation function (IHKA) The range (sensitivity) of the ultrasonic signals is adapted. The positions of the side win¬ dows and the sliding/tilting sunroof are evaluated by the DWA. If no position value is avail¬ able, a less sensitive setting is selected. If the DWA is activated and a comfort function is executed (e.g. convenience closing using remote control): • If the position of the side windows or sliding/tilting sunroof is changed, the interior monitoring function is deactivated for as long as the closing procedure runs. • After the closing movement has been completed, or at most after 25 seconds the positions of the side windows and sliding/tilting sunroof are re-evaluated and the sensitivity adapted. The switching-on of the independent ventilation is also monitored to prevent false alarms (movement in vehicle interior caused by airflow). Deactivating interior motion sensor and tilt monitoring It may be advisable to deactivate the tilt monitoring and interior motion sensor under the following conditions: • When the vehicle is being transported (e.g. rail, ferry) • When the vehicle is parked in a two-level garage • When persons or animals remain in the vehicle The tilt monitoring and interior motion sensor are deactivated when the command "lock/doublelock" is executed twice within the space of 10 seconds (e.g. with the remote control). The DWA LED indicates the deactivation by lighting up for 2 seconds. The ultrasonic interior motion sensor and the tilt alarm sensor can also be permanently deactivated (see Car and Key Memory). 61 E6x Body Electronics Emergency Function for Acoustic DWA Alarm If the siren fails during an alarm, or if the local data bus is interrupted, the acoustic alarm is emitted from the fanfare horn. To do this, the DWA control unit transmits a message to the steering column switch cluster (SZL). Combined Operation with LockCylinderand Remote Control The alarm system can be primed and disarmed by either the door lock or the remote control (= combined operation). In some countries, insurance requirements prohibit such combined operation. In the event of the combined operation failing, the alarm system can still be primed at the door lock, but cannot be disarmed at the door lock. Disarming is only possible with the remote control. The function of the combined operation can be encoded in the CAS con¬ trol unit. DWA Alarm Output (coding) Individual settings can be made with the Car& Key Memory Acoustic confirmation from siren when primed and disarmed. The alarm tone can be set to an intermittent tone for 30 seconds Panic Mode Panic mode enables the DWA alarm to be triggered to attract attention in the event of a threat from the outside or an accident. Panic mode is triggered with the remote control. To do this, the special button has to be pressed for 3 seconds. Panic mode can be triggered regardless of the DWA status (primed/disarmed). Panic mode is ended when any button on the remote control is pressed. If the siren fails during panic mode, the acoustic alarm is emitted from the fanfare horn (emergency function). The duration of the alarm in panic mode is unlimited (until the vehicle battery is flat). 62 E6x Body Electronics E63/E64 Alarm System (DWA) The alarm system detects and warns of any attempts to break in or tamper with the vehicle. The system is installed in various types of vehicles in different country-specific versions. The DWA of the E63 is equipped with multiplex microwave sensors, the CAN- Sine and the DWA LED. New Features for DWA on E63 and E64 Vehicles For the first time, not only the tilt alarm sensor, but also the software for the anti-theft alarm is integrated in the emergency power siren (SINE = siren and tilt alarm sensor). The DWA control unit used to date is no longer installed. Also, new for BMW vehicles, the new multiplex microwave sensors (M uW) are fitted in the E63/E64. The advantages of these MuW sensors are: • Interior protection • Effective MuW sensor detection during interior monitoring • No false alarms triggered by M uW sensors during interior monitoring Advantages of Microwave Sensors The microwave sensors can be installed in hidden locations. The interior monitoring function works, for example, even when the side windows are open. The DWA control unit in the emergency power siren is connected to the microwave sensors by a sub-bus. When the boot-lid lock is mechanically unlocked with the key, the DWA alarm is triggered. The anti-theft alarm system, integrated in the CAN-Sine, communicates with the components via the K-CAN or via the DWA bus. 63 E6x Body Electronics DWA Overview (6 Series) Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Hall Sensor, driver's door 8 M ultiplex microwave sensor, rear passenger side 2 Driver's door module (TM FA) 9 M ultiplex microwave sensor, Rear driver's side 3 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) 10 M ultiplex microwave sensor, drivers side door 4 Passengerdoormodule (TMBF) 11 Hood contact 5 Hall sensor, passenger's door 12 CAN-SINE tilt alarm sensor with integrated emer¬ gency current siren 6 DWA LED 13 Car Access System (CAS 2) 7 Multiplexmicrowave sensor, passengerdoor) 14 Lock, driver's door 64 E6x Body Electronics Components The following component description concerns changes to the DWA components on the 6 series (E63/E64). Unless otherwise mentioned, the components are the same as the 5 series (E60/E61). The anti-theft alarm system receives input signals from the following components: Microwave Sensors The microwave sensors monitor the vehicle interior. Movement is detected if the reflec¬ tion (echo) of the microwaves changes. The sensitivity of the microwave sensors is adapted for different conditions (e.g. vehicle model, installation location of microwave sensors). Two of the microwave sensors are installed on the inner door panel of the driver's door and front-passenger door. The other two additional microwave sensors are installed on the inside ofthe B-pillars. Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Microwave Sensor 2 Inner door panel 65 E6x Body Electronics Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Microwave Sensor 2 B-pillar Construction Each microwave sensor consists of the following components: • Transmitter unit • Receiver unit • Interface to sub-bus for anti-theft alarm • Internal circuit for 5-volt power supply 66 E6x Body Electronics Car Access System (CAS) The CAS monitors the central locking system. The bonnet contact switch is connected to the CAS.The bonnet is thus monitored (open or closed). The CAS feeds the signal to the DWA control unit in the emergency power siren via the K-CAN.The CAS supplies the following signals: • Boot-lid unlocking via remote control • Key in ignition starter switch or terminal 15 ON • Status of convenience opening/closing • Authentication by CAS as protection against manipulation (referto E60/E61) Driver's Door Module (TMFA)and Front-passenger Door Module (TMBF) The door modules provide information about the position of the door contacts. The signal is fed to the DWA control unit in the emergency power siren via the K-CAN.The driver's door module also provides the signal from the lock cylinder. Body Basic Module (KBM) The body basic module monitors the boot lid (open or closed). The signal is fed to the DWA control unit in the emergency power siren via the K-CAN. When the boot-lid lock is mechanically unlocked with the key, the DWA alarm is triggered. LightModule (LM) The light module actuates the lighting system for the visual DWA alarm. The DWA control unit feeds the triggering signal to the light module via the K-C AN. The following actuators are actuated for the anti-theft alarm system: Emergency power siren with integrated tilt alarm sensor (SINE) The emergency power siren emits the acoustic DWA alarm. In addition to the DWA alarm, the emergency power siren can also emit an acoustic confirmation signal when the system is activated or deactivated (can be set on the Central Information Display (CID) and controller). ■ DWA LED The DWA LED is on the bottom of the inside rearview mirror. The LED gives a visual indication of the status of the anti-theft alarm. It is directly actuated by the DWA control unit in the emergency power siren via a wire. Forthe operation of the DWA LED, referto the E60 DWA section. 67 E6x Body Electronics Principle of Operation The anti-theft alarm system incorporates the following functions: • Activating and deactivating • DWA alarm triggering (alarm-trigger signal) • Undervoltage recognition, overvoltage recognition, car battery monitoring (positive and negative cables) • Monitoring of sub-bus • Deactivating interior motion sensor and tilt monitoring • Emergency function for acoustic DWA alarm • Combined operation with lock cylinder and remote control Activating and Deactivating The anti-theft alarm system is activated when the central locking is locked/secured. Locking/securing requires: • Drivers doorto be opened and closed afterterminal 15 is switched OFF. • The emergency power siren is then immediately activated. • 3 seconds after activation, the door and hatch contacts are monitored. This is condi¬ tional on the contacts being in their rest position (doors and hatches closed). • The DWA LED starts to flash as a visual acknowledgement.The hazard warning lights flash once. • Depending on the national version, a short acoustic warning tone may also sound from the emergency power siren (see national version). SensorOperation The microwave sensor is a movement detector. The microwave sensor detects move¬ ment and the direction of movement (changes in distance) in the entire vehicle interior. The range/sensitivity of the microwave sensors is pre-set (depending on vehicle model and equipment). 3 seconds after the last door or hatch is closed, the microwave sensor starts its reference run. During the reference run, the vehicle interior is "scanned". This allows any changes in the vehicle interior (e.g. objects left on the rear seat) to be recognized. A self-test monitors the correct functioning of the microwave sensors. The microwave sensors are operational 20 seconds afterthe start of the reference run. 68 E6x Body Electronics CO C." The 4 microwave sensors monitorthe vehicle interior in zones. Forthis, the vehicle interi¬ or is divided into in 4 quadrants. The microwaves disperse in the shape of a sphere. The DWA control unit actuates the microwave sensors in the following order: The microwave sensors work in a frequency range of approximately. 2.5 GHz. The microwave sensor uses the Doppler effect to create the alarm trigger signal. The DWA control unit in the emergency power siren evaluates the signals from the microwave sensor and triggers the alarm. The emergency power siren for the acoustic alarm is actuated. The signal for the visual alarm is fed to the light module through the K-CAN. 69 E6x Body Electronics Tilt Alarm Sensor The tilt alarm sensor monitors the vehicle's horizontal position (inclination in longitudinal and lateral directions). T he signal from the tilt alarm sensor is evaluated by the DWA control unit. T he tilt alarm sensor detects when the vehicle is raised or towed away and triggers a DWA alarm. 1. Rear Bumper 2. Siren with integrated DWA functions and tilt sensor The following control units are involved in the anti-theft alarm system: DWA Control Unit The software for the DWA is integrated in the emergency power siren. The DWA control unit in the emergency power siren controls the anti-theft alarm. The microwave sensors are connected to the alarm system control unit by a single-wire bus (K-Bus).The DWA control unit is connected to the K-CAN. • After the DWA has been activated, and after all doors and flaps have been closed, the microwave sensors start to monitor the interior. The interior can be monitored after approximately. 20 seconds. • The monitoring of the interior is interrupted if the side windows and/orthe sliding/tilt¬ ing sunroof are closed using the convenience closing function. Like the interior monitoring, the tilt monitoring does not start until the doors and hatches are closed. When it is activated, the tilt alarm sensorfirst conducts a 30 second long ref¬ erence run. Tilt monitoring does not start until the reference run has been completed. If the luggage compartment is opened during the reference run, the reference run is interrupted. The reference run is then restarted when the luggage compartment is closed again. The monitoring function of the microwave sensors and the tilt alarm sensor have priority. If a faulty door or hatch contact is detected, this will automatically be assumed to be closed. 70 E6x Body Electronics The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated when the central-locking system is unlocked. The DWA LED stops flashing and the hazard warning lights flash twice as a visual confir¬ mation. Depending on the national version, a short acoustic warning tone (dual tone) may also sound from the emergency power siren (see national version). The boot lid can also be unlocked and opened with the remote control without the alarm being triggered, even if the alarm system is activated. When the boot lid is opened, the interior and tilt monitoring functions are deactivated. The interior monitoring and tilt moni¬ toring are reactivated as soon as the boot lid is closed again. DWA Alarm Triggering (Alarm-trigger Signal) The DWA alarm is triggered if an alarm status is detected while the alarm system is acti¬ vated. The following will trigger the DWA alarm: • Forced opening of a door: Bus signal from door module (door contact) • Forced opening of trunk lid: Bus signal from KBM (trunk lid contact switch) • Forced opening of hood: Bus signal from CAS (hood contact switch) • Movement in interior: signal from microwave sensors • Vehicle in inclined position: signal from tilt alarm sensor • Open circuit in sub-bus (between the alarm system control unit in the emergency power siren and the microwave sensors) • Undervoltage, overvoltage, car battery monitoring (positive and negative cables) When a DWA alarm is triggered, the DWA control unit activates the emergency power siren loudspeaker. At the same time, the DWA control unit transmits an alarm signal through the K-CAN.The light module activates the visual alarm via the lighting system. T he emergency power siren may also trigger an acoustic alarm if the anti-theft alarm is active and the emergency power siren is separated from the vehicle electrical system by manipulation (integral power supply from batteries). The DWA alarm is interrupted immediately underthe following conditions: • Anti-theft alarm is deactivated • Message "Key in ignition lock" (from CAS) and terminal 15 ON 71 E6x Body Electronics Undervoltage recognition, overvoltage recognition, car battery monitoring When the anti-theft alarm is active, the DWA control unit monitors the on-board supply voltage in the range between 6.5 and 17 volts. The DWA control unit recognizes the following deviations: • Undervoltage On-board supply voltage less than 6.5 volts • Overvoltage On-board supply voltage greaterthan 17 volts • On-board supply voltage drops from 7.5 to 6.5 volts within 40 minutes • Battery positive or negative cable cut through The voltage thresholds for overvoltage and undervoltage must be recognized for at least 250 milliseconds. M onitoring of sub- bus for anti-theft alarm The sub-bus between the alarm system control unitin the emergency power siren and the microwave sensors is monitored for open circuits. Deactivating interior motion sensor and tilt monitoring It may be advisable to deactivate the tilt monitoring and interior motion sensorunderthe following conditions: • When the vehicle is being transported (e.g. rail, ferry) • When the vehicle is parked in a two-level garage • When persons or animals remain in the vehicle The tilt monitoring and interior motion sensor are deactivated when the command "lock/secure" is executed twice within the space of 3 seconds (e.g. with the remote control). The DWA LED indicates the deactivation by lighting up for 2 seconds. The microwave sensors and the tilt alarm sensor can also be permanently deactivated (see Car and Key Memory).Emergency function for acoustic DWA alarm If the emergency power siren fails during an alarm, or if the sub-bus to the microwave sensors is interrupted, the acoustic alarm will be emitted through the fanfare horn. To do this, the DWA control unit transmits a message to the steering column switch cluster (SZL). 72 E6x Body Electronics Combined operation with lock cylinder and remote control The alarm system can be activated and deactivated by either the door lock or the remote control (= combined operation). In some countries, insurance requirements prohibit such combined operation. In the event of the combined operation failing, the alarm system can still be activated at the door lock, but cannot be deactivated at the door lock. Deactivation is only possible with the remote control. The combined operation function can be encoded in the Car Access System (CAS). Operation The visual and acoustic confirmation for activation and deactivation is not a function of the Car and Key M emory. The customer is able to set the type of confirmation using the Central Information Display and the controller (menu "Settings" under "Vehicle settings"). Panic Mode Panic mode enables attention to be attracted in the event of a threat from the outside or an accident (DWA alarm). Panic mode must be encoded. The button for trunk lid unlocking then works as a button for panic mode. The button has to be pressed for 3 seconds. Panic mode can be triggered regardless of DWA status (activated/deactivated). Panic mode is ended when any button on the remote control is pressed. If the emergency power siren fails during panic mode, the acoustic alarm is emitted from the fanfare horn (emergency function). The duration of the alarm in panic mode is unlimited (until the vehicle battery is flat). 73 E6x Body Electronics Park Distance Control PDC The E60 is equipped with the 8-channel PDC system which is carried overfrom the E65. On the 5 and 6 series, PDC is optional equipment. The system supports the driver in maneuvering in tight parking scenarios. TEO33D01 On the E60, PDC has the following new features: • The PDC button is in the SZM. The signal from the PDC button is transferred to the PDC control unit through the K-CAN. • The signal from the reverse-light switch (reverse gear engaged) on vehicles with manual transmission is transferred from the light module to the PDC control unit via the K-CAN. • Display form of the optical warnings on the Central Information Display. For an automatic gearbox, the signal for reverse gear is made available by the EGS control unit by way of a K-CAN message. The PDC measures the distance to objects within its range with ultrasonic sensors. These sensors are carrier overfrom the E65. 74 E6x Body Electronics Legend for System Overview Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 PDC Module 9 Car Access System (CAS) 2 Central Information Display (CID) 10 Light Module (LM) 3 M-ASK orCCC 11 Electronic Transmission Control (EGS) 4 Mid-Range loudspeaker (driver's door) 12 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 5 M id-Range loudspeaker (passenger door) 13 Instrument Cluster 6 M id-Range loudspeaker (left rear) 14 CenterConsole Switch Center(SZM) 7 M id-Range loudspeaker (right rear) 15-18 Ultrasonic Sensors (rear) 8 Trailer Module (AHM) Not for US 19-22 Ultrasonic Sensors (front) The driver is warned of an object that could cause a collision as follows: • Acoustic warning (via M-ASK (orCCC), and mid-range loudspeaker) • Visual warning (via Central Information Display) The P DC uses these two 2 warning functions to offer a degree of comfort for drivers who are hard of hearing or physically impaired. A fault in the PDC is indicated by a Check-Control message. Important: Responsibility remains with the driver at all times PDC is unable to take the place of the driver's personal assessment of obstacles. The ultrasonic sensors have a blind spot. Objects in this blind spot cannot be detected. The ability to detect objects can stretch the physical limits of ultrasonic measurements (no or poor reflection of ultrasonic impulses, e.g. trailer tow bars or narrow objects). Low objects that have already been indicated can "disappear", before a continuous tone sounds (e.g. a high curb). The evaluation of obstacles is thus the responsibility of the driver, even with PDC. 76 E6x Body Electronics Components PDC consists of the following components: Ultrasonic Sensors There are 4 ultrasonic sensors in each of the front and rear bumpers. The sensors emit ultrasonic impulses. These ultrasonic impulses are reflected by obstacles (echo impulses). The ultrasonic sensors receive and amplify these echo impulses. The amplified echo impulses are then converted into a digital signal. Each ultrasonic sensor has its own microprocessor, its own power supply and its own data connection to the PDC control unit. Important: Measuring range of ultrasonic sensors The measuring range of the ultrasonic sensors is between approximately 25 centimeters and 200 centimeters. If the minimum distance that can be detected rises to an impermissible level, a fault message is entered in the fault memory. Dirt contamination, moisture, ice and snow can cause an impermissible rise in the mini¬ mum distance that can be detected. Note: C leaning the ultrasonic sensors To make sure the system remains fully operational, keep the ultrasonic sensors clean and free from ice. Do not clean by spraying high-pressure washers directly at the ultrasonic sensors. When cleaning, always maintain a minimum distance of at least 10 centimeters. 77 E6x Body Electronics PDC Button The PDC button is in the center console switch cluster (SZL). The signal from the PDC button is transferred through the K-CAN to the PDC control unit. The PDC button is used to manually switch the Park Distance Control system on and off. When the PDC is switched on, the function LED in the PDC button lights up. If a fault develops in the PDC, the function LED in the PDC button flashes. PDC Control Unit The PDC control unit controls the ultrasonic sensors for transmitting ultrasonic impulses. The PDC control unit also receives the digital signals from the individual ultrasonic sen¬ sors. By comparing the individual digital signals, the PDC control unit calculates the mini¬ mum distance between the ultrasonic sensor and the object. When an object is detected, an acoustic warning and a visual warning are given. The PDC control unit is connected to the following control units via the bus systems: Multi-audio System Controller/CarCommunication Computer The multi-audio system controller (M-ASK) or Car Communication Computer (CCC) emits the PDC acoustic warning through the mid-range loudspeakers. Central Information Display The visual PDC warnings are given in the Central Information Display (CID). In addition, information regarding a Check-Control message that may be present is shown. 78 E6x Body Electronics Instrument C luster A current Check-Control message is indicated by a symbol in the LCD display in the instrument cluster. Moreover, the instrument cluster also provides the exterior tempera¬ ture and the mileage reading for the PDC control unit. Ice and frost can cause an unexpected response from the ultrasonic sensors. The response characteristics of the ultrasonic sensors changes depending on the exterior temperature. If a fault is stored in the fault memory, the kilometer reading and the exterior temperature are also stored. DSC Control Unit The DSC control unit supplies the PDC with information about the roadspeed and dis¬ tance travelled. Electronic Transmission Control On vehicles with automatic transmission, the electronic transmission control (EGS) supplies the signal that reverse gear is engaged. Light Module On vehicles with manual transmission, the light module (LM) supplies the signal that reverse gear is engaged. Car Access System The CAS control unit supplies the PDC with the terminal status (e.g.. terminal 15). Forvehicles from 03/2004, power is supplied to the PDC control unit through terminal 30g (active) instead ofterminal 15. 79 E6x Body Electronics Principle of Operation PDC incorporates the following functions: • Acoustic warnings • Visual warnings • Check Control Acoustic Warnings The acoustic warnings are emitted by the M-ASK via the mid-range loudspeaker. If an object is detected by 2 ultrasonic sensors, the loudspeaker closest to the object is actuated. The mid-range loudspeaker in the left/right-hand frontdoors orthe mid-range loudspeaker on the left/right-hand sides of the rear shelf can be actuated. If an object is detected by 3 ultrasonic sensors, the mid-range loudspeakers on the left and right-hand sides are actuated together. The smaller the distance to the object, the fasterthe sequence of acoustic warning tones. A distance of less than approximately 25 centimeters is indicated by a continuous tone. The warning tone switches off as soon as the vehicle moves away from the object. If the vehicle is moving directly towards a wall, the acoustic warning tone will be switched off after approximately. 3 seconds so that it does not distract the driver. If the vehicle con¬ tinues to approach the wall, the warning will be reactivated. Effective range for acoustic warnings: • Approximately 60 centimeters for the ultrasonic sensors at the two corners of the front bumper • Approximately 70 centimeters forthe two middle ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper • Approximately 60 centimeters forthe ultrasonic sensors at the two corners of the rear bumper • Approximately 150 centimeters forthe two middle ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper 80 E6x Body Electronics Visual Warnings The visual PDC warnings are given in the Central Information Display (CID).This is subjectto the display in the CID being active. The visual warnings are given earlierthan the acoustic warnings. The effective range is approximately 2 meters at the front and approximately 2.5 meters at the rear. The graphic display is shown on the CID.The PDC control unit supplies the distance between the ultrasonic sensor and the object detected via the K-CAN. The display on the CID is an overhead view of the vehicle with the effective ranges of the ultrasonic sensors. The distance to objects detected is shown in the colors of traffic lights: • Distance down to 100 centimeters: green • Distance between 100 an 50 centimeters: yellow • Distance less than 50 centimeters: red The display appears as soon as the PDC is switched on (manually or automatically). The display overrides other displays in the CID. When the PDC is switched off again, the pre¬ vious display automatically appears again in the Central Information Display. CheckControl If a fault develops in the PDC, the function LED in the PDC button flashes. If this occurs , PDC cannot be switched on. Atthe same time, a Check-Control message is displayed in the following form: • Symbol in the LC D display in the instrument cluster • The following text appears in the status line of the Central Information Display: "PDC failure!" In the menu "BMW Service", the following text can be called up in the submenu "Check-Control messages": "Park Distance Control” No acoustic warning available for Park Distance Control (PDC). Have the problem checked by BMW Service as soon as possible. 81 E6x Body Electronics Conditions for Switching On and Off PDC is switched on underthe following conditions: • PDC button pressed (PDC switched on manually) • Reverse gear engaged (PDC switched on automatically) PDC is switched off under the following conditions: • PDC button pressed (PDC switched off manually) • Ignition switched off (PDC switched off automatically • After driving approximately. 50 meters • After exceeding a speed of 30 km/h Problematic Conditions for Switching On and Off In borderline situations, PDC may give a warning even though there is no object within the effective range (reflection from the ground, e.g. on coarse gravel). In borderline situations, it could happen that objects that are present are not detected (no or insufficient reflection due to geometric form). Underthe following conditions, it could happen that the PDC gives a warning, even though there is no object within the effective range: • Ultrasonic sensor incorrectly located in its bracket • Heavy rain • Severe dirt contamination or icing of the ultrasonic sensors • Ultrasonic sensors covered in snow • Echo pulses caused by ground, e.g. extremely coarse road surface or high grass • Very smooth walls in large, enclosed, rectangular spaces, e.g. in underground car parks (interference from earlier, reflected echo impulses) Underthe following conditions, the PDC may not recognize an obstacle that is present: • Low objects or objects with corners and sharp edges (no reflection) • If you drive alongside a wall while you are parking, the acoustic warning will be deac¬ tivated so long as you are moving parallel to the wall. Operation The visual warning (display) is switched on in the Central Information Display (CID) as follows: • "Settings" menu • "Vehicle settings" menu • "PDC" menu • Activate "Display on" 82 E6x Body Electronics Active C ruise C ontrol The Active Cruise Control system (ACC) is the same as that in the E65. The ACC has the following defining properties: • Operated from a steering column stalk • Statuses are shown in the instrument cluster display • Four selectable increment stages • Speed preselection in 1 km/h stages • Sheet steel bracket in the E60 with plastic intermediate holder for the sensor control unit • Audible instructions to the driver have been omitted ACC SensorE60 83 E6x Body Electronics ACC System Overview Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Rear brake pressure sensor 8 Instrument Cluster 2 Front brake pressure sensor 9 CAS 3 DSC 10 Trailer Module (notfor US) 4 DM E (ECM) 11 Light Module 5 EGS 12 M-ASK 6 SZL 13 ACC Control unit 7 SGM 84 E6x Body Electronics Exterior Lights The exterior lighting is based on the exterior lighting of the E65 and available in the fol¬ lowing versions: • Basic version with halogen headlights • Adaptive Headlight System (AHL)with bi-xenon headlights Voltage for all the lights is regulated by the light module. This regulation compensates for fluctuations in vehicle voltage. 02281_02 85 E6x Body Electronics Components LightSwitch with Control Panel Unit The light switch is remotely mounted from the light module.

Signals from the brake light switch are used by the Light Module to activate the brake lights. The Light Module also supplies the brake signal to other systems via the K-CAN. 86 E6x Body Electronics Reverse Lights On manual transmission vehicles, the signal is made available via a switch from the gear selector lever. The light module controls the reversing lights accordingly. On automatic transmission vehicles, the signal is made available by the transmission con¬ trol unit via the PT-CAN. The signals for reverse gear and the brake light are made available to other subscribers by the light module via the K-CAN.

Service Information In the E60, the light switch contributes to improved protection forthe occupants. This increased level of protection is achieved by artificially enlarging the impact surface of the light switch. In the event of an accident, a person sitting behind the steering wheel could knock against the light switch with his/her knee for instance. While retaining full functionality, the light switch can be shifted towards the rear. This increases the impact surface about the light switch. After being pressed back, the light switch must be pulled out to move it into the forward position again. 87 E6x Body Electronics E63/E64 Exterior Lighting Changes as Compared to E60 The E 63/E 64 features 2 lamp bulbs in each directional indicator for the front directionals. The marker light of the E63 is fed from below into the light guide. The hotspot is located at the feed point of the light guide. The front side markers are equipped with lamp bulbs. LED's are used forthe tail lights and brake lights. Parking Lights ON Turn Signal ON Brake Force Display The upper LED's of the rail light are used as the BFD as of a deceleration of 6 m/s 2 . 88 E6x Body Electronics E61 Tail light The tail light assembly on the E61 is a split unit with one portion on the rear hatch and the other on the rear quarter panel. The tail light is divided into 7 areas.

The center (third) brake light used LED technology and is located in the rear spoiler. 89 E6x Body Electronics Adaptive Headlights (AHL) Introduction The adaptive headlights system is designed to improve nighttime driving visibility in turns. This is achieved by turning the bi-xenon headlights towards the inside of a bend when cornering. This improves illumination ofthe curve of the road which in turn, improves to level of visibility for the driver. Without AHL, the driver would be looking into a "black hole” when cornering. AHL enhances the already existing active safety features. The system collects data regarding vehicle speed, steering angle and rotational speed (yaw) and controls a set of stepper motors to make adjustments to the bi-xenon headlights. AHL also works in conjunction with other vehicle systems via the various bus networks. 02422 02 90 E6x Body Electronics AHL System Overview Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Headlight Switch 8 Right side swivel (positioner) module, includes right headlight assembly. (with SMC/XENON and shutter assembly) 2 Light Module (LM) 9 Car Access System (CAS) 3 Rain and Light Sensor (RLS) 10 Front Level Sensor 4 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) 11 Rear Level Sensor 5 Steering Column Switch Cluster(SZL) 12 Adaptive Headlight Module (AHL) 6 Brake Light Switch (BLS) 13 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 7 Leftside swivel (positioner) module, includes left headlight assembly. (with SMC/XENON and shutter assembly) 91 E6x Body Electronics Components Light Switch The rotary switch for the side lights and dipped- beam (low beam) headlights differs depending on the vehicle equipment level. For the adaptive head¬ lights function to operate, the light switch must be set to position "A". ("A" = "automatic driving lights control" or "adaptive headlights"). Direction Indicator/High-beam Switch The high-beam headlights are switched on and off with the direction indicator/high-beam switch (by pressing or pulling the switch). The adaptive head¬ lights function operates with both dipped and high- beam headlights. Steering Column Switch Cluster The control unit in the steering column switch clus¬ ter (SZL) forwards the signals from the direction indi¬ cator/high-beam switch. Signal path: SZL ->byteflight->SGM ->K-CAN -> LM SZL ->byteflight->SGM ->PT-CAN ->AHL Headlight Switch SZL Ride-height Sensors The ride-height sensors supply the input signals for the headlight-range adjustment. One ride-height sensor is located on the right-hand side of the front axle. A ride-height sensor is located on the right of the rear axle. The automatic headlight-range adjustment adapts the height adjustment of the headlights for different operating conditions (e.g. when laden, when braking and when accelerating in dynamic driving situations). If the special equipment "Adaptive headlights" is fit¬ ted, the adaptive headlights control unit evaluates the signals from the ride-height sensors (AHL control unit).This is because:The AHL control unit also controls automatic headlight-range adjustment. Ride Height Sensor 92 E6x Body Electronics Brake Light Switch If the special equipment "Adaptive headlights" is fitted, the signals from the brake light switch are read by the adaptive headlights control unit. In addition, the brake light switch signal is also an input signal for automatic headlight- range adjustment, see above: ride-height sensors. Position Sensor(E60, E65, E53) The position sensor in the positioner module forthe bi-xenon headlights supplies a signal indicating the aim ofthe headlights in the horizontal plane. Car Access System The Car Access System (CAS) supplies input signals with regard to the terminal manage¬ ment (e.g. terminal 15 ON). The adaptive headlights control unit is activated when terminal 15 is switched ON. EGS control unit or reversing light switch When reverse gear is engaged, the headlights are moved to the straight-ahead position. • On vehicles with automatic transmission, the EGS control unit supplies the relevant signal to the light module (the EGS control unit is the control unit for electronic transmission control). • On vehicles with manual transmission, the signal is supplied by the reversing light switch. 93 E6x Body Electronics Rain-lightsensorforautomatic driving lights control The rain-light sensor measures the ambient light conditions outside the vehicle. • As it starts to get dark, the rain-light sensor sends the message "Twilight" to the light module. The light module informs the adaptive headlights control unit so that the automatic headlight-range adjustment of the dipped-beam headlights can be acti¬ vated. The headlights are tilted up and down as required, but they are not yet swiv¬ elled towards the bend in the road. • In darkness, the rain-light sensor sends the message "Darkness" to the light module. The light module sends the relevant information to the adaptive headlights control unit. The headlights are swivelled as necessary. Steering Angle Sensorand DSC Sensor The steering angle sensorand DSC sensor (DSC = Dynamic Stability Control) supply signals for the adaptive headlights to the adaptive headlights control unit. These signals are evaluated as follows, depending on the vehicle's speed: • Vehicle speeds up to 30 km/h - The adaptive headlights function is controlled on the basis of the information from the steering angle sensor (in the SZL). • Vehicle speeds between 30 km/h and 50 km/h - In the 30 to 50 km/h speed range, there is a continuous transition in signal evaluation: from the evaluation of signals sent by the steering angle sensor to evaluation of the signals sent by the yaw rate sensor (in the DSC sensor). • In extreme dynamic driving situations - (e.g. if the vehicle starts to skid or fish¬ tail), even at speeds less than 50 km/h, the signals from the yaw-rate-sensor are considered. If the vehicle starts to skid or fishtail, the headlights will move to the straight-ahead position. The headlights are not swivelled until the vehicle has stabilized. • Vehicle speeds over 50 km/h - At speeds upwards of 50 km/h, the signals from the yaw rate sensor (in the DSC sensor) form the primary basis for control of the adaptive headlights function. Reason: for a constant cornering radius, the steering angle required increases over proportionally with increasing speed. In addition, the steering angle required also depends on the coefficient of friction of the road surface. Yaw rate is directly proportional to speed. Forthis reason, the yaw rate is always the most suitable measure for controlling the adaptive headlights at high speeds. Even at high speeds, however, the steering angle sensor signal is used to detect (predict) the driver's commands in advance. This is because: The yaw rate signal is not supplied until the vehicle has responded to the steering wheel movement. The steering-angle sensor signal is disabled so that rapid, momentary steering adjustments do not affect the adaptive headlights function. 94 E6x Body Electronics AHL Control Uniton E60, E63 The AH L control unit is responsible for the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the bi¬ xenon headlights. For safety reasons, the AHL control unit is also responsible forthe LWR (automatic headlight-range adjustment) for vertical adjustment). The AHL control unit is connected to the PT-CAN and is located in the control module carrier behind the glove compartment. Stepper Motor C ontrollers The stepper motor controllers (SMCs) control the stepper motors in the headlights forthe AHL functions (L/R) as well as the LWR func¬ tions (Vertical). The SMC control units com¬ municate with the AHL control module via the LIN bus. Light Module On the E60,the light module (LM) controls and monitors all vehicle lights. Information is transmitted and received via the K-CAN data bus. The light module is responsible forthe actuation of the indicator light for AHL (on the light switch). Light Module Wl iiilliiiillllillliniin !]inui n,niuinn,t r ...ii. Mil i finmmuu i r Safety and Gateway Module On the E60, the safety and gateway module (SGM) is the interface between the two data buses K-CAN and PT-CAN.Thus, all informa¬ tion exchanged between the light module and the AHL control unit passes through the SGM. Information from the yaw rate sensor (in the DSC sensor) is also fed through the SGM to the AHL control unit. Xenon-headlightControl Unit The xenon-headlight control unit monitors the D2-S bulbs forthe bi-xenon headlights. 95 E6x Body Electronics TC03-3EH3 Stepper Motors forthe Adaptive Headlights The stepper motors turn the positioner modules in the bi-xenon headlights. The stepper motors turn the headlights vertically and horizontally (vertically = for the automatic headlight-range adjustment and horizontally for adaptive headlights). Function Indicator (On Light Switch) The function of the AHL is indicated by the FLC LED lighting permanently. A fault in the AHL system is indicated by the FLC LED flashing with the AHL active. The green FLC LED has two functions: • The LED lights up permanently when the light switch is set to position "A”. The AHL and LWR systems are active when the LED is on solid. • The LED flashes if a fault develops in the adaptive headlight system. The LED actuated by the light module. The low beam headlight and the headlight vertical aim control (LWR) remain active in the case of fault. The swivel function of the bi-xenon modules is deactivated. A reference run is performed during every new start. If a defect is found, the bi-xenon headlights are switched off to ensure oncoming traffic cannot be dazzled. The fog lights are switched on as a substitute function. 96 E6x Body Electronics Principle of Operation The adaptive headlights system adjusts the horizontal aim of the headlights (i.e.from side to side) in orderto illuminate the inside of a bend when cornering. The following functions of the adaptive headlights system are described below: • System activation and calibration sequence • Activation of stepper motor controllers (SMC) • Speed-dependent analysis of input signals • Horizontal swivelling of the headlights by the stepper motor controller • Deactivation of adaptive headlight movements under extreme driving conditions • Deactivation of adaptive headlight movements in response to system faults • Setting headlights to parked position • Activation of automatic headlight-range adjustment by the AH L control unit • Adaptive headlights for automatic driving lights control System Activation and Calibration Sequence When terminal 15 is switched ON, the headlights always perform a calibration sequence, even if the lights are not switched on. The AHL control unit sends the "perform calibra¬ tion sequence" request to the stepper motor controllers (SMCs, control units for the headlight stepper motors). The stepper motor controllers actuate the stepper motors in the headlights.The calibration sequence is performed. During the calibration sequence, the headlights move in the following manner: • The headlights move horizontally (= calibration sequence for the AHL). • The headlights move vertically (= calibration sequence forthe headlight-range adjustment function). • At the end of the calibration sequence, the headlights are in the straight-ahead position. Following the calibration sequence, the system is ready for operation. When reverse gear is engaged, the headlights are moved to the straight-ahead position. Note: The calibration sequence is performed only after terminal 15 has been switched OFF for at least 15 seconds. If terminal 15 is switched on and off repeatedly (for example, for demonstration reasons), the headlights are not calibrated each time terminal 15 is switched on. Terminal 15 must have been switched off for at least 15 seconds before it is switched on again. Only then is a calibration sequence performed when terminal 15 is switched on. 97 E6x Body Electronics Activation of Stepper Motor Controllers The AH L control unit transmits the nominal values for the positioner modules (position and speed of movement of the positioner modules) to the stepper motor controllers (SMC). The AHL control unit calculates the nominal values on the basis of the following input signals: • Vehicle road speed • Steering angle (at speeds up to 50 km/h , depending on program¬ ming) (50km/h =31mph) • Yaw rate (above 50 km/h, see "Steering-angle sensor and DSC sensor" above) Speed Dependent Analysis of InputSignals The adaptive headlights are controlled based on input from the steering angle sensor and the yaw rate sensor. The AHL control will use these signals on a priority basis depending upon road speed. The encoding process performed at the end of the production line determines the priority assigned to sensor signals above which speed threshold (see above). Horizontal swivelling of the headlights by the stepper motor controller Horizontal range of movement of headlights • Inwards, i.e. towards center of vehicle: up to a maximum of 8° • Outwards: up to max. 15° That means in a right-hand bend the right-hand headlight turns by up to 15° (the right- hand headlight is the "inside" headlight on a right-hand bend. It therefore swivels outwards away from the vehicle center). The left-hand headlight swivels through a maximum of 8° (the left-hand headlight swivels towards the vehicle center, i.e. inwards). The headlight on the outside of the bend reaches its end position at the same time as the headlight on the inside of the bend, ensuring that the road is evenly illuminated. On a right-hand bend, the left-hand headlight is on the outside of the bend. The right- hand headlight is on the inside of the bend. 1. Vehicle Speed 2. Steering Angle 3. Yaw (rotation) 98 E6x Body Electronics Deactivation of adaptive headlight movements under extreme driving conditions If the vehicle starts to skid and fishtail, the swivelling movement of the adaptive headlights is deactivated as follows: • The headlights are returned to the straight-ahead position.The headlights are no longerturned. • The lights remain on. Deactivation of adaptive headlight movements in response to system faults If a system fault occurs, the green indicator lamp on the light switch flashes. Dazzling of oncoming traffic must be prevented in the event of a system fault. To this end, the swivelling movement of the adaptive headlights is deactivated as follows: • If the stepper motors are still functional, the headlights are returned to the straight¬ ahead position. The headlights are no longer swivelled towards bends in the road. • If it is no longer possible for a headlight to be moved back to the straight-ahead posi¬ tion, the headlight is tilted downwards (by the stepped motors for automatic head¬ light-range adjustment). This prevents dazzling of oncoming traffic. • If the headlight cannot be tilted downwards, the bi-xenon bulb in this headlight is dis¬ abled as follows: - When the vehicle is parked, the AHL control unit recognizes sleep mode (stand still plus terminal R OFF for several minutes). - The next time the vehicle is restarted, the bi-xenon light of the defective head light is not switched on. - The front fog lights are switched on in order to ensure a minimum level of illumination. - The dipped-beam headlights are not switched off while the vehicle is in motion. Setting Headlights to Parked Position When terminal R is switched off, the headlights move to the parked position.The parked position is important for the headlights' next calibration sequence: from the parked posi¬ tion, the headlights are run through a calibration sequence in the pre-drive-check. During each calibration sequence, the AHL control unit relearns the straight-ahead position for the headlights. When the headlights have reached the parked position, the stepper motor controllers (SMCs) inform the AHL control unit ("acknowledge"). The AHL control unit deactivates the stepper motor controllers. The run-down period lasts approximately 10 seconds. 99 E6x Body Electronics Activation of automatic headlight-range adjustment by the AH L control unit If special equipment "Adaptive headlights" is fitted, the AH L control unit also controls the automatic headlight-range adjustment. The automatic headlight-range adjustment adapts the headlight range for different oper¬ ating conditions. Variations in the vehicle tilt angle are produced by vehicle loads and braking or acceleration in extreme driving situations. The automatic headlight-range adjustment tilts the headlights up and down as required. The AH L control unit controls the automatic headlight-range adjustment as follows: 1. The ride-height sensors and the brake light switch send the input signals forthe headlight-range adjustment to the AHL control unit. 2. From the input signals received, the AHL control unit calculates the vehicle tilt angle (along the longitudinal axis, relative to the road surface). 3. Using the stepper motors for moving the headlights vertically, the headlight range is adjusted automatically and dynamically. The headlight range is adjusted so that the actual headlight range conforms to the legally required headlight range as follows: • If vehicle rear is lowerthan front- The actual headlight range will be longerthan the legally stipulated range. The headlight beam height is lowered to reduce the headlight range to match the legal requirement. • If the vehicle is horizontal - The actual headlight range will be the same as the legally stipulated range. • If vehicle front is lowerthan rear - The actual headlight range will be shorter than the legally stipulated range. The headlight beam height is raised to increase the headlight range to match the legal requirement. Adaptive headlights for automatic driving lights control The automatic driving lights control feature (option in conjunction with the RLS) automatically switches the side lights and dipped-beam headlights on and off. Switch-on conditions: • The light module must be encoded with automatic driving lights control. • The light switch must be in position "A" ("A" for automatic driving lights control or adaptive headlights). • The rain-light sensor must be installed and operational. 100 E6x Body Electronics The rain-light sensor detects the brightness of the ambient light. The rain-light sensor sends the following requests to the light module: • Low ambient brightness (twilight, darkness, in a low-level garage ortunnel): "switch on dipped-beam headlights" request. • Sufficient ambient brightness: "switch off dipped-beam headlights" request. If only the side (parking) lights are to be switched on, the light switch must be set to side lights (switch position 1). When the light switch is set to position "A", the AHL control unit is also activated: • When the automatic driving lights control function switches on the dipped-beam headlights (e.g. at dawn/dusk), the adaptive headlights function is notified at the same time. The light module sends the message "Dipped headlights on" to the AHL control unit (and the AHL control unit takes over control of automatic headlight-range adjust¬ ment). • The light module also takes account of the signals from the rain-light sensor. The headlights are not turned when the vehicle is cornering until total darkness sets in. The message "Dipped (low beam) headlights on" is generated separately for each head¬ light unit. If a headlight fails, the movement of the adaptive headlights is suspended. The front fog lights are switched on in order to ensure a minimum level of illumination. Switch-on Conditions When terminal 15 is switched ON, the AHL control unit "wakes up".The swivelling of the lights is subject to the following conditions: • Reverse gear must not be engaged. • No system faults must be present. The indicator light must not be flashing. • The D2-S bulbs in both headlight units must be working (the D2-S bulbs are the bulbs forthe xenon headlights). • The vehicle must not be skidding orfishtailing. • The rain-light sensor must detect darkness. • Additional precondition for activation: automatic driving lights control is active (light switch in position "A", see above). 101 E6x Body Electronics Workshop Hints Various repairs may be necessary during the course of vehicle's service life. As a conse¬ quence of repair work, it may be that the system parts for the AHL are installed with dif¬ ferent software and hardware versions. In each case, the replaced components must be adapted to the specific requirements of the vehicle. AHL Control Unit After replacing an AHL control unit, it is necessary to enter the vehicle identification number and to encode the control unit depending on specific vehicle data. The complete AHL function will not be operative if adaptation to the vehicle is not per¬ formed. Replacing SMC After replacing the SMC, it is necessary to enter the vehicle identification number and headlight-dependent coding in the SMC control unit. The complete AHL function will remain inoperative if this adaptation is not performed. Particular care must be taken when replacing the SMC to ensure that the housing seal of the SMC is fitted correctly. Replace Bi-Xenon Headlights After replacing the bi-xenon headlights, it is necessary to encode the corresponding SMC depending on the headlights. If this adaptation is not performed, the function will appear to be operative but not correct. The swivel range and zero point can vary from vehicle model to vehicle model and the bi¬ xenon headlight can have a different status! The headlights must be adjusted and checked. Diagnosis The AHL system must be set to diagnosis mode in order to perform the following jobs: • Read out of relevant bus signals with vehicle stationary -Road speed -Yaw rate -Steering angle • Checking signal plausibility • C hecking that conditions for activation are fulfilled -Rain and light sensor status -Light switch status Missing or non-plausible BUS signals are stored in the form of fault codes in the AHL control unit. The types of fault are stored in the SMC. The SMCs are accessed via the AHL control unit. 102 E6x Body Electronics Workshop Exercise - Diagnosis Using an instructor designated vehicle, diagnose the complaint outlined below.

Notes: 108 E6x Body Electronics Interior Lighting The interior lights of the E60 are pulse width modulated and automatically controlled by various inputs. PWM Control The output is active from terminal 15 with a permanent clocking in a frequency of 100 Hz. In this way the power output is controlled. From a voltage of 12.8 V the pulse width modulation is adjusted in such a way as to provide a power output of 100% as for 12.8 V. In the case of voltage drops in the vehicle electrical system of up to 1 V, the pulse width modulation is corrected and thus a constant brightness of the lamps connected at the consumer shutdown output is ensured. Below 12.8 V voltage regulation is no longer corrected. The brightness can fluctuate with the battery voltage level. Consumer Shutdown Terminal Some loads/consumers such as reading, gloveboxand luggage compartment lights can remain switched on when the car is stopped. In order to protect the battery, these con¬ sumers are shutdown after a drop at terminal R with a delay of 16 minutes, or immedi¬ ately with the diagnosis telegram. Consumer Shutdown Power outputs are made available by the KBM 2 for consumer shutdown. • VA 1 (Output 1): - Reading lights - Vanity lights - Boot • IB 2 (Output 2): - Glovebox light 109 E6x Body Electronics System Overview Interior Lighting Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Door contact, rear driver's side door 15 Footwell light, driver, front 2 Door contact, rear passenger side door 16 Footwell light, passengerfront 3 Button, trunk lid exterior 17 Glovebox lighting 4 Central locking, tailgate 18 Exit light, driver, rear 5 Remote control 19 Exit light, passenger, rear 6 Lock cylinder, tailgate 20 Luggage compartment light 7 Lock cylinder, driver's door 21 Luggage compartment light 8 Door contact, driver's door front 22 Interior reading lights, front 9 Door contact, passenger door, front 23 Interior reading lights, rear 10 Body Basic Module (KBM) 24 Vanity light, driver/passenger 11 Car Access System (SGM) 25 Exit light, driver's side 12 Safety and Gateway Module (SGM) 26 Front area light, driver 13 Door module TM FA, driverfront 27 Exit light, driver's side 14 Door module TM BF, passengerfront 28 Front area light, passenger side 110 E6x Body Electronics Roller Sunblmd An electric roller sunblind is available for the rear window of the E60. Mechanical roller sunblinds are also available for the side windows of the E60. System Function The roller sunblind is operated from the switch in the driver's side switch block. 3 LEDs ON • Switch briefly pressed 2x: Seat heating stage 2 ON >2 LEDs ON • Switch briefly pressed 3x: Seat heating stage 1 ON > 1 LED ON • Switch pressed lx long: Seat heating OFF > LEDs OFF The seat heating can be switched off in any stage by pressing the button for longer than 1.2 seconds. The LED indicators are located above the seat heating switch. 122 E6x Body Electronics Seat Heating Temperature Control An electronic temperature control circuit is integrated in the SZM. A temperature sensor is integrated in the heating mat for the purpose of registering the seat temperature. The seat heating is deactivates at terminal 15 OFF. The selected heating stage remains stored fora further 15 minutes. The seat heating is activated and operated at the heating stage last selected at terminal 15 ON.The heating stage currently activated is indicated by the number of illuminated LEDs. Monitoring of Temperature Sensor The temperature sensor is permanently monitored. The seat heating and LEDs are switched off immediately if a short circuit or line break (open circuit) is detected. The system can be switched on only by means of the seat heating switch. The seat heating is deactivated when a short-circuit or an open circuit is detected in the temperature sensor. The LED lights briefly before the electronic module switches off. The seat heating can then be reactivated. The temperature sensor is checked again. Seat Heating Output Management If there is a drop in the vehicle's system voltage, the heating output is correspondingly adapted in 4 stages as follows: • "No reduction", normal unrestricted operation. • "25 % reduction", when heating stage 3 is set the system uses heating stage 2. However, the LED indicating stage 3 remains on. The system switches back to heat¬ ing stage 3 when the heating output management signals "no reduction". • "50 % reduction", seat cushion and backrest with side sections are heated at half capacity. The system switches back to 100 % heating output when the heating out¬ put management signals "no reduction". • "Heating deactivated", the LED forthe selected heating stage remains switched on. The seat heating is reactivated when the heating output management signals "no reduction". Overvoltage/undervoltage Detection Behavior in the Event of Undervoltage The seat heating is switched off when the supply voltage forthe SZM drops below a value between 11.0 V and 11.8 V for more than 5 seconds. The current seat heating setting is retained. The seat heating can be switched on again only when the voltage value is higher than 11.8 V to 12.6 V for longerthan 4 seconds. The seat heating switch can be used to select the heating stage and switch off the system. The LED remains on. The time limit of 5 seconds restarts when the seat heating is deac¬ tivated as the result of undervoltage being detected and then reactivated. 123 E6x Body Electronics Behavior in the Case of Overvoltage The seat heating is deactivated immediately when the supply voltage for the center con¬ sole switch cluster (SZM) exceeds a value between 15.9 V and 16.7 V for longerthan 0.1 seconds. The seat heating LED is switched off. The seat heating and the LED indicator are not switched on again automatically when the normal voltage range from 11.8 V to 16.6 V is re-established.The LED may light briefly before the electronics is switched off when the seat heating is deactivated as the result of an overvoltage and then switched on again. Short-circuit Detection Actuation of the seat heating system is short-circuit-proof with respect to terminal 30 (battery positive terminal). The heating mats and LEDs are deactivated in response to a short-circuit. They can be switched on again only by means of the seat heating switch. The seat heating is also switched off as the result of increased power intake due to a defective heating mat. No-load Detection The LED cannot be activated when a heating mat is not connected or there is a break in the wiring (open-circuit). The LED lights briefly when the seat heating is deactivated and briefly reactivated in the event of a short-circuit, the heating mat not connected ora break in the wiring. Consequently, the electronic circuitry switches off the seat heating system. Plausibility C heck of Temperature Profile A plausibility check is performed only at a seat temperature of30°C or less. This prevents the temperature in the backrest increasing to impermissibly high levels. After the seat heating has been activated, the electronic circuitry expects a temperature increase at the temperature sensor. The seat heating is switched off immediately when the seat temperature is lower than 30 °C and no increase in the temperature value is mea¬ sured within 255 seconds. The LED is also switched off. 124 E6x Body Electronics Outside Mirrors Activation of the wing mirrors is performed by the door modules by means of the local electronics in the frontdoors. All the mirror functions, except for electrochromatic wing mirror and mirror heating, are active with terminal R on through to consumer shutdown. The mirrorfunctions are controlled exclusively in the door modules, which communicate with each other via the byteflight. All the mirror adjustment functions are served by the adjusting switches in the switch block in the driver's door. The following options are available: • Electrochromatic interior rearview and wing mirrors • Electrochromatic interior rearview mirror • Light package including front-area lights in wing mirrors • Wing-mirror memory in conjunction with seat memory TWIBF WKIJEfWE Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Rearview mirror (Electrochromatic) 5 TM BF 2 Driver's switch block 6 Side view mirror, right (Electrochromatic) 3 TM FA 7 KBM 4 Side view mirror, left (Electrochromatic) 8 SGM 125 E6x Body Electronics Steering Column Adjustment The fully electric steering-column adjustment allows the driver to set the steering wheel to the best possible position. This is done with a switch on the left-hand side of the steering column. The tilt and fore-and-aft position of the steering column are adjusted by means of an electric motor. Vehicles with electric steering column adjustment have a steering-column memory in conjunction with seat memory and mirror memory. The steering-column adjustment is actuated by the SZM. One motor drives the tilt and fore-and-aft adjustment. A second motor changes the direction of adjustment via the adjustment gears. Possible functions of steering column adjustment are: • Height adjustment • Reach adjustment • E ntry/exit aid • Steering-column memory • Motor protection 126 E6x Body Electronics Steering Column Adjustment (Overview) TMBF 02262_02 Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Steering column adjustment button 8 Seat Module, Driver's Side (SM FA) 2 Exterior mirror, driver 9 Safety and gateway Module (SGM) 3 Steering column switch cluster (SZL) 10 Passenger Door Module (TMBF) 4 Driver's door module (TMFA) 11 Center Console Switch Center (SZM) 5 Power distribution, rear 12 Motor for steering column adjustment 6 Seat switches 13 Motor for steering column adjustment 7 Multi-function Steering wheel 14 Exterior mirror, passenger side 127 E6x Body Electronics Components The steering-column adjustment consists of the following components: Switch for Steering-column Adjustment This switch enables the driverto adjust the tilt and fore-and-aft setting of the steering col¬ umn. The switch for steering-column adjustment is on the left-hand side of the steering column. Steering-column Adjustment Drive Unit Two motors are built into the drive unit. 1 motor drives the tilt and fore-and-aft adjustment of the steering column. The second motorchanges the direction of adjustment via the adjustment gears. The adjustment movement and position recognition for both tilt and fore-and-aft adjust¬ ment are recorded in the drive unitforthe steering-column memory.There are 2 Hall sensors and 2 magnetic rings (16-pin) integrated in the drive unit. Steering Column Switch Cluster The switch for steering-column adjustment sends its signal to the SZL.The SZL forwards this signal to the SZM. Signal path: Switch for steering-column adjustment > SZL > byteflight > SGM >K-CAN >SZM. SZM The center console switch cluster (SZM) actuates the steering-column adjustment. The SZM also stores the positions for the steering-column memory. Door Contact in the Driver's Door The center console switch cluster requires the signal from the door contact in conjunc¬ tion with the terminal status for the easy-entry system. Signal path: Driver's door contact switch >TMFA > byteflight > SGM >K-CAN >SZM 128 E6x Body Electronics Principle of Operation The fully electric steering-column adjustment comprises the following functions: • Manual steering-column adjustment • Steering-column memory • Overheating protection for steering-column adjustment motors Manual Steering-column Adjustment The driver is able to adjust the steering column with a switch. When the switch is operat¬ ed, the signal is transmitted cyclically from terminal 30 (cycle time: 100 milliseconds). The steering-column adjustment is actuated for as long as the signal is being received. Once the switch is no longer actuated, the message "Stop" is transmitted 3 times. The steering-column adjustment is stopped when this signal is received, or if the cyclic message is not received twice. To enable a failure of the steering column switch cluster to be detected, a further a cyclic message is transmitted when the data bus is active (cycle time: 1 second). When changing the direction of adjustment, the center console switch cluster first actu¬ ates the motor for setting the adjustment gears. The actuation of this motor is time-dependent. The adjustment motor is not actuated until the direction of adjustment is correctly set. The total adjustment movement is no more than 36 millimeters fortilt adjustment and 40 millimeters forfore-and-aft adjust¬ ment. Steering-column Memory The position of the steering column in each direction of adjustment is recorded by a Hall sensor. This position is stored in the center console switch cluster (SZM). This allows the Key Memory to call up the position of the steering column for up to 4 vehicle keys. The tilt adjustment moves to the uppermost position to make it easier to get in and out of the vehicle. Forthe easy-access facility, the steering-column adjustment is automatically actuated underthe following conditions: • Terminal R OFF • Terminal RON and driver's door opened (via door contact) • Terminal 15 OFF with driver's door open (via door contact) 129 E6x Body Electronics The steering-column memory is activated under the following conditions: • One of the two memory buttons forthe seat-mirror memory and the steering-column memory on the seat is pressed (from terminal R OFF). • Another remote control is used (personalization). Condition: The selection "Last seat position after unlocking" is activated in the "Settings" menu in the Central Information Display (CID) (from 09/2003). In both cases, the steering-column memory will not move the steering column to the stored position until terminal 15 is switched ON. Overheating Protection for Steering-column Adjustment Motors To protect the motors against overheating, a temperature model is stored in the center console switch cluster. The temperature model makes allowance forthe warming up and cooling down of the motors. It is possible to move the steering column in either direction through the range of move¬ ment at least 6 times before overheating protection is activated. 130 E6x Body Electronics Workshop Exercise - Diagnosis Using an instructor designated vehicle, diagnose the complaint outlined below.
