To ensure balanced energy management in the vehicle an energy management function similar to that used in the E60 is utilized and is incorporated into the operating software of the DME. The power supply system in the E90 consists of the following: Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Junction Box & Terminal 30 Relays 6 Rear Power Distribution Box 2 Junction Box Electronics Control Module 7 DME 3 Safety Battery Terminal 8 CAS 4 Battery, Cables & Grounds 9 Starter 5 Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) 10 Alternator 4 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Battery Connections Located on the right side of the luggage compartment is the battery, from here power is supplied to the starter, alternator, engine electronics and to the junction box by way of three main supply cables. 1. One main cable is routed on the interior of the vehicle along the right side, to the junction box located behind the glovebox. 2. Two additional main cables run from the B+ terminal underneath the vehicle to the engine compartment: Within the battery box are two transfer points (as shown) for the two cables that run to the engine compartment. The main power cables going to the engine compartment are installed/routed (as indicated) in a protected area underneath the body of the vehicle. • One cable goes to the jump start terminal in the engine compartment and then connects to the starter and alternator. • The second cable is used to supply power to the engine electronics (DME and Valvetronics). 5 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Rear Power Distribution Attached directly to the top of the battery is the rear power distribution box which con¬ tains the fusible links (non replaceable) used to distribute power to the Junction Box and Engine Electronics, plus supply power to the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS).

In the event that the BST is activated, power will continue to be supplied to the rear power distribution box (a fused/protected power distributor) to allow activation of all other vehicle systems (such as hazard lights, power locks, power windows, Engine Electronics etc.). Note: Refer to “ ST403 Passive Safety Systems” for more detailed information on BST operation. 7 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) The Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) as a mechanical/electronic device which is connected directly to the negative battery terminal. Index Explanation 1 Battery Ground Lead 2 B+ Connection for IBS 3 Bit Serial Data Interface (BSD) 4 Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) The IBS contains a micro processor that is used to monitor/measure various battery con¬ ditions such as: • Terminal voltage via measurement from B+ to Gnd • Charge/discharge current via integrated shunt resistor • Temperature of battery acid via integrated temp sensor Index Explanation 1 B+ 2 B- 3 Battery Voltage Measurement 4 Battery Temp Measurement 5 Current Measurement 6 Microprocessor 7 BSD 8 DME/ECM 8 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems The IBS is able to withstand thermal loads up to 105°C, the chemical effects of the bat¬ tery acid. The components of the IBS are shown below: 1 2 3 4 2 5 6 Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Copper 4 Injection Molding/Housing 2 Gullwings/Tabs 5 Copper 3 PC Board with Evaluation Electronics 6 *Manganin *Manganin - Is a copper alloy resistor with a low resistance value, that is able to maintain an extremely constant temperature regardless of current flow. This material is used as a shunt resistor to measure current flow by the evaluation electronics component of the IBS. 9 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems IBS Measuring /Evaluation Function The measuring/evaluation function of the IBS electronics, continuously measures the fol¬ lowing values under all vehicle operating conditions: • Voltage (6 V to 16.5 V) • Starting Current (0 A to 1000 A) • Current (200 A to +200 A) • Temperature (-40°C to 105°C) • Closed Circuit Current (0 A to 10 A) When the vehicle is stationary, the IBS is programmed to wake up every 14 sec. and makes the reguired measurements within approx. 50 ms in order to save power. The measured values from the IBS are provided to the DME by way of the Binary Serial Data Interface (BSD) to calculate the State of Charge and State of Health for the battery. • State of Charge (SoC) is a calculated condition showing the current charge of the battery. SoC is used during key “OFF” periods to insure the battery maintains a suf¬ ficient charge to start the engine at least one more time. • State of Health (SoH) tracks the history of the battery in the vehicle. Charge/dis¬ charge cycles and times are monitored. SoH helps the DME determine the proper charging rates and anticipated battery life. Internal resistance of the battery is calcu¬ lated by the IBS from the current and voltage dip during engine start. The values are forwarded to the DME to calculate the SoH of the battery. Software contained in the microprocessor of the IBS utilizes the measured values to cal¬ culate the State of Charge (SoC) of the battery during vehicle sleep mode and compares this information with that received from the DME/ECM pertaining to the battery SoC/SoH, during the period of time between engine “OFF” and deactivation of the DME main relay. The current SoC/battery data is stored in the IBS every 2 hours over a 6 hour time frame, providing 3 - 2 hour snapshots of battery SoC information. The stored information/snap¬ shot data is overwritten every 6 hours. Whenever KL15 is activated the IBS updates the DME with the current closed circuit histogram/battery status information, byway of the BSD. Upon obtaining updated information the DME evaluates the new data and if a closed-circuit current draw is identified a fault will be stored in the fault memory of the DME. 10 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Servicing the IBS The IBS is very sensitive to mechanical stress and strain. It is serviced as a complete unit with the ground cable. The ground cable also serves as a heat dissipaterforthe IBS. Particular attention should be paid to the following points in service: • Do not make any additional connections at the negative terminal of the battery • Do not modify the ground cable • Do not make any connections between the IBS and the sensor screw • Do not use force when disconnecting the ground terminal from the battery • Do not pull at the ground cable • Do not use the IBS as a pivot point to lever off the ground terminal • Do not use the connections of the IBS as a lever • Use only a torgue wrench as described in the repair manual • Do not release or tighten the sensor screw IBS Diagnosis A fault code is stored in the DME when the IBS is defective. The DME adopts a substi¬ tute value and assumes IBS emergency mode. IBS emergency mode boosts the idle speed in order to sufficiently charge the battery. Direct diagnosis of the IBS is not possible, it can only be diagnosed through the DME. The self diagnosis function checks the voltage, current, temperature, terminal 15 wake up signal as well as system errors in the IBS. Note: The software in the DME and that of the IBS must match. To ensure this reguire- ment it may be necessary to replace the IBS in connection with a software update. Voltage Measurement If the IBS is shorted to ground, a DME fault code will display “Voltage Fault DME ON”. The IBS will be unable to wake up the DME. If the IBS is shorted to B+, a DME fault code will display “Voltage fault, DME not ON” and no charging current. The vehicle will NOT enter sleep mode. Current Measurement Current measurement is a very dynamic process, indicated by the measuring range of mA to kA. The fault code “Current Fault” is entered in fault memory when an implausible value is determined during the plausibility check of the various measuring ranges of the IBS. 11 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Terminal 15 Wake-up Signal Faults The IBS recognizes wake-up line faults. The IBS can detect a wake-up line error under the following conditions: • DME “ON” • Terminal 15 “ON” (voltage high at IBS) • Terminal 15 running via BSD If Terminal 15 at the IBS and Terminal 15 via the BSD are not equal, a fault is indicated in the BSD line or an IBS Fault. IBS Wake-up The IBS constantly monitors the SoC, even when the vehicle is a sleep, a wake-up signal is sent to the DME via the BSD if the SoC falls below the preset threshold. Upon obtain¬ ing the wake-up from the IBS, the DME obtains information on the current SoC of the battery from the IBS and requests that auxiliary electrical loads be switch off. The IBS may only wake-up the vehicle once during a key off cycle, once awakened the vehicle will again return to the sleep mode. 12 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Vehicle Ground Points 13 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Classroom Exercise - Review Questions 1.

Based on the equipment level installed in a vehicle the JB may be “configured” differently. For us vehicles only one vari¬ ant will be available. Contained in the Junction Box is a: • Distribution box/fuse carrier • Electronic control module Distribution Box Depending on the equipment level installed in the vehicle, the configuration of the PC board installed in the distribution box will vary. Different relays and/or resistors can be soldered to the board depending on the systems installed on the vehicle. Integrated into the Junction Box is a PC board which contains soldered on relays for: • Wiper stage 2 • Horn • Terminal 30g_f • Terminal 15 Note: The PC board is not serviceable 16 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Within the distribution box itself fuses and relays are plugged directly into the PC board as well as directly into the wiring harness. 3 Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Wiring Harness Connector 8 Relay Secondary Air Pump 2 Horn Relay (PC Board) 9 Internal Interface, Junction Box Control Module 3 Terminal 30 g_f Relay (PC Board) 10 Relay for Rear Window Wiper 4 Terminal 15 Relay (PC Board) 11 Relay for Rear Window Defogger 5 Terminal 30g Relay 12 Relay for Wiper Stage 1 6 Power Supply 13 Relay for Wiper Stage 2 (PC Board) 7 Relay for Windshield Washer Index Explanation 1 Junction Box Housing 2 Fuse 3 Wiring Harness Connector 17 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems The upper left corner of the junction box provides an interface connection directly to the vehicle wiring harness for the purpose of relay activation and supplying power to various loads. 0 1 \.

What function does the Junction Box serve? 2. What function does the Junction Box Electronics control module serve? 3. What relays are soldered to the circuit board? 4. What systems do the relays on the JBE circuit board impact? 21 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Bus Systems The bus structure in the new BMW 3 Series (E90) builds on the technology being used in the current models . In the E90 the Junction Box Electronic Control Module (JBE) serves as the Gateway Module for the bus system, meaning that the JBE is the connec¬ tion point for the K-CAN, PT-CAN and D-Bus. The Junction box only serves a pass through function for the F-CAN, data is not transferred by the JB to other systems for this bus. With the E90 an additional module, the FRM, is connected to the PT-CAN to receive the brake light signal from the LDM. As a result of the increase in the inter connecting of control modules some sensors are no longer connected to the main control module for that system, but rather to the control module closest to the sensor or actuator and then the information is transferred to the main controller via the main bus system. By utilizing the closest module as a data trans¬ fer point cable length and the number of connectors is reduced. Within the vehicle two groups of bus systems are used: • Main bus system (K-CAN, PT-CAN, MOST, F-CAN) • Sub-Bus system (LIN-Bus, BSD, K-Bus, K-Bus (protocol) 22 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Main bus systems are responsible for the data exchange between the control modules throughout the vehicle system. Example: The status of the door contacts is read in via the Footwell Module (FRM) when the doors are locked on the BMW 3 Series. The information is trans¬ mitted via the K-CAN to the Junction Box Control Module which in turn acti¬ vates the central locking drive units. Sub-Bus systems are used to exchange relatively small quantities of data within one defined system. Example: The data of the rain and driving lights sensor (RLS) is read by the Roof Functions Center (FZD) and forwarded via the K-CAN to the Junction Box Control Module (JB) and Footwell Module (FRM). The connection provided between the RLS and the FZD is a sub-bus known as LIN-Bus.

K-Bus (protocol) The term "K-Bus (protocol)" is used for a series of sub-bus systems for various purposes. The K-Bus protocol used here is a common component used in previous models. In the E90 this sub-bus is used in connection with the following systems: • Anti-theft Alarm System (DWA-Bus/K-Bus) • Connection between MRS5 and TCU • Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) - (CAS-Bus/K-Bus) • Electromagnetic Steering Wheel Lock (ELV) - (CAS-Bus/K-Bus) LIN-Bus The LIN-Bus was used for the first time on the E46 for controlling the outside mirrors. On the new BMW 3 Series the LIN-Bus is used for the following connections: • Connection from the FRM to the driver's side switch cluster (19.2 Kbit/s) • Connection from the RFZ to the RLS (19.2 Kbit/s) • Driving actuators IHKA (9.6 Kbit/s). BSD The bit-serial data interface BSD is also used on the BMW 3 Series for the purpose of connecting the alternator and the Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) to the Engine Control Module ECM/DME). Terminating Resistors Terminating resistors are used to ensure exact data transmission in the bus systems and are located in the control module of the various bus systems. Terminating resistors for: • K-CAN are located in each control module connected to the bus • F-CAN are located in only two module on the bus (SZL and DSC) • PT-CAN are located in only two modules on the bus (EKP and DSC) 26 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems MOST Bus The new 3 series (E90) uses a MOST-Bus structure, similar to that used on E60/61/63/64/65/ & E66, as a means of connecting the Information and Communication Systems (IKT). MOST is a data bus technology developed & standardized for automotive applications and stands for Multimedia Oriented System Transport. Devices connected on the MOST bus use light pulses to communicate/transmit data from one device to the other. The communication on a MOST-Bus structure is only in one direction around the ring. The advantage of a MOST-Bus structure over a CAN or LIN-Bus is that it can not only trans¬ mit control and sensor data but can transmit digital audio, video signals and transport graphics as well. The gateway/master controller on the MOST-Bus is either RAD2 or the CCC depending on vehicle options installed. The master controller is responsible for data exchange between the MOST-Bus and the other bus systems as well as retaining the registration file for the control modules installed on the MOST-Bus. The registration file stores information regarding the modules installed as well as their sequence on the MOST-Bus. With the fibre optics connectors, it is possible to connect control units in the rear area of the BMW 3 Series after a repair in a different order than they were installed from the factory. The BMW diagnosis system can determine the installed control units and their order by accessing the information in the registration file. During the start-up procedure, all control module on the MOST-Bus send their identifier to the master controller. In this way, the master controller can detect what control mod¬ ules are connected to the MOST-Bus. A corresponding fault can be set in diagnosis if the login of one or several control modules is not received. 27 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Light Direction Each control module on the MOST-Bus is able to send data, however it can only be sent in one direction. The physical light direction is from the master controller (Rad2 or CCC) to the fibre optics connector (located in rear of vehicle) and from here to the control modules in the luggage compartment (CD Changer, Top HiFi Amplifier, TCU, SDARS etc.). From the last control module, the light returns via the MOST-direct access port to the master controller. Index Explanation Index Explanation RAD2 Radio 2 1 Fiber Optics connector TOP-HIFI Top HiFi Amplifier FS MOST Direct Access (port) CDC CD Changer 28 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Fiber Optics Connector The use of a fiber optics connector provides the advantage of being able to easily retrofit control modules in the area of the luggage compartment. The fibre optics connector is located behind the left-rear lateral seat back trim panel, next to the rear seat backrest. A cable duct is provided in addition to the fiber optics conductor to avoid excessively small radii (bends) in the fiber optic conductors. The master controller is always connected in the luggage compartment, alongside various options. One or two fiber optic connectors are installed depending to the eguipment configuration. One fiber optics connector is responsible for the facto¬ ry-installed control modules. The other fiber optics connector is used for the installation of additional options/accessories. The ends of the fiber optics conductors for options are always grouped together on the same row in the fiber optics connector to avoid damage to the ends of the fiber optics conductors. As soon as the retrofit is installed, the fiber optics connectors are reconnected according to instruc¬ tions and integrated in the MOST-Bus. Index Explanation 1 Fiber Optics Connector Installation Aid for Fiber Optic Conductors Identification of Fiber Optics Conductors The fiber optics conductors are identified at their ends. The identification indicates the control unit from which the fibre optics conductor comes or goes. 29 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Diagnosis Information Data Flow Interruption Several factors can cause an interruption in the data flow in the MOST-Bus: • Power supply of transmitting control module defective • Internal fault in transmitting control module • Transmitter in transmitting control module defective • Power supply of receiving control module defective • Internal fault in receiving control module • Receiver in receiving control module defective • Break in the fiber optics conductor between transmitting and receiving module With the ring break diagnosis and the optical test, it is possible to determine whether and where there is a break or interruption within the MOST-Bus. Initially for this purpose, the power supply to the control modules in the MOST-Bus is dis¬ connected. When the power supply is switched on again, all control modules send light to the next control module in the direction of light. The control module that receives no light at its input stores the node position 0 in its fault code memory. This means the ring break is between the control module with the node position 0 and the control module located before it. The master controller can also be accessed as a check in the case of fault. The master controller is always connected to the K-CAN and can therefore also be addressed for fault diagnosis purposes. Overtemperature Shut-Down If the internal control module temperature exceeds a certain value (approx. 80°C) the con¬ trol module is switched off for 10 minutes in order to protect the internal components. After this time has elapsed, the control module is switched on again and is fully opera¬ tional. The entire MOST-Bus is shut down if the affected control module is the master controller (RAD2 or CCC), for all other control modules on the MOST-Bus, only the spe¬ cific module is switched off if it overheats. NOTE: Modules located in the area of the luggage compartment such as TCU or Top HiFi amplifier or SDARS can generate very high temperatures. In the event of an overtemperature shutdown corresponding fault entries are made in the fault code memory of the respective control module which can be evaluated with the BMW diagnosis system. 30 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems 31 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Classroom Exercise - Review Questions Bus Systems 1. What module serves as the main gateway? 2. What module(s) serve as the controller/gateway for the MOST-Bus? 3. Identify the various bus structures and what role they have. 4. What are terminating resistors? 5. Where are the terminating resistors located? 32 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Power Management A power management function some what similar to that used in the E60 is also used in the E90 to ensure balanced power/energy distribution in the vehicle. The power man¬ agement functions are incorporated into the software of the Engine Control Module (ECM/DME). Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Engine 5 Junction Box 2 Alternator 6 Electrical Loads 3 Intelligent Battery sensor (IBS) 7 Engine Control Module 4 Battery Since the IBS is able to provide exact information on the condition of the battery such as actual battery voltage, current and temperature to the DME, this allows for greater flexibil¬ ity in regulating loads and also provides additional diagnostic functions with regard to energy consumption as well. 33 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Power Consumption During Operation During vehicle operation, the mechanical energy of the engine is converted by the alter¬ nator into electrical energy and made available to the various electric loads. The electric loads receive power primarily via the terminal 30g and 30g_f relays located in the junction box. Certain electric loads are supplied directly by terminal 30 or by terminal R. For example, the anti-theft alarm system must still remain active when the vehicle is parked. The calculations necessary for controlling the energy balance take place within the power management portion of the DME operating program. The power management program is able to: • Regulate the idle speed and charging voltage while the engine is running • Regulate power consumption of electric loads with relatively high power demands or switch off loads as reguired. • Switch-off certain electric loads when the engine is stationary either as a time con¬ trolled function via the CAS 2 and the terminal 30g relay or in response to electrical faults via the engine control, junction box and the terminal 30g_f relay. • Generate system faults to perform vehicle or battery diagnosis Idle Speed Boost Although the alternator may be operating at maximum speed, the idle speed can be increased by up to 200 RPM as soon as current is drawn from the battery. Electric Load Reduction - Engine Running In addition to increasing the idle speed and the specified charging voltage, the output of various electric loads can be reduced or loads can be switched off in order to reduce the power consumption in critical situations. The electric loads are shut down only under the following two conditions: • Battery charge status in critical range • Alternator fully utilized The following measures are implemented if the above conditions occur: Function Operation Control Module 1. Rear Window Defroster Clocking IHKA 2. Seat Heating Stage 2 SM/JB 3. Seat Heating 50% SM/JB 4. Heater Blower 75% IHKA 5. Heater Blower 50% IHKA 6. Mirror Heating Off FRM 7. Rear Window Defroster Off IHKA 8. Seat Heating Off SM/JB 9. Heater Blower 25% IHKA 34 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Electric Load Cut-Off with Engine Off Certain electric loads may be active although the engine is off and the closed-circuit current monitoring feature of the power management function is in operation. The electric loads in the vehicle are divided into the following groups: - Legally required electric loads (i.e. side lights, hazard warning system) - Convenience for the customer (i.e radio, telephone) These electric loads are excluded from the closed-circuit monitoring system in order to avoid misinterpretation by the power management function, however these electric loads must log in with the power management function. In turn, the power management func¬ tion recognizes the activity and accepts the higher power consumption until the systems are deactivated and these control modules log off with the power management function. The power management function within in the DME can send a request to switch off active electric loads in stationary mode depending on the battery charge status and the start capability limit. As a result of the request, the stationary loads must deactivate their functions irrespective of the terminal status and must reach their closed-circuit current within 5 minutes. Legally required electric loads are excluded from this function. The E90 uses four relays that are installed in the Junction Box, for the purpose of switch¬ ing off the power supply to the majority of the control modules when the vehicle is in a stationary status. The four relays are: • Terminal 30g - Circuit activation by the CAS • Terminal 30g_f - Circuit activation by the Junction Box control module (JBE) which monitors the following activities: - Invalid wake-up procedures within the bus systems - Events that prevent sleep mode (control units that keep the bus systems constantly active) Note: Since the DME constantly reads and evaluates the battery values the terminal 30g_f relay can also be switched off via a request from the DME if the start capability limit of the battery is reached. • Terminal 30 - Circuit Activation by the CAS • Terminal 15 - Circuit Activation by the CAS 35 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Terminal 30g Relay (Time-Dependent Deactivation) The terminal 30g relay is controlled by the CAS, which switches off the connect¬ ed control modules after 30 minutes if the engine was running for an extended period. The switch of time is extended to 60 minutes if a telephone system is installed in the vehicle. The terminal 30g relay is controlled by the car access system and supplies power to the systems indicated below. Workshop Exercise: Highlight modules that use Terminal 30g f © Control modules connected to Terminal 30g 36 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems *Basic radio not available in U.S market Terminal 30g_f Relay (Fault-Dependent Deactivation) The Junction box control module controls ---- the 30g_f terminal, which is primarily a terminal 30 circuit that is only switched off if a fault is detected. A bistable relay is used to control terminal 30g_f by means of two coils, one to open the circuit and one to close it, each coil is controlled by the Junction Box control module. Each coil is supplied directly by KL.30, the JB control module grounds the respective coil in order to open or close the relay. The relay is normally in the “On” state and supplies KL.30 to two fuses (17 & 40). The switch status/posi¬ tion of the relay is retained even when no power is applied.

Terminal 30g_f is switched OFF when: • With terminal R off, the DME detects, via the IBS, that the starting capability limit has been reached (battery capacity is just enough to start the vehicle). • After 30/60 minutes of terminal R off, JB detects that control modules are prevent¬ ing the vehicle from entering the sleep mode. • With terminal R off, the JB counts more than 30 wake-ups at terminal R. Once the terminal 30g_f relay has been switched off, one of the switch-on conditions is necessary in order to switch it on again. If the fault that caused the relay to switch off is due to a closed-circuit current fault, a fault code is stored in the memory of the junction Box. Note: No indication of which module is responsible for the closed-circuit cur¬ rent fault is provided. XI0209 A46 Fuse holder rear MhKIOB 350 RT A4010 Juroton bo* 38 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Terminal 30 (KL30) A number of control modules are con¬ nected to terminal 30 via the junction box. Workshop Exercise: Highlight modules that use Terminal 30 (KL30) © Control Modules Connected To Terminal 30 39 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Terminal 15 (KL15) The only module on the BUS effected by Terminal 15 relay is the PDC Control Module. The terminal 15 relay in the Junction Box is deactivated by the CAS. 40 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems System Diagnosis Information The control modules for the DME/ECM and Junction Box (JB) provide various forms of information for the purpose of establishing effective system & Battery diagnosis: DME/ECM stores various data that can be used for energy diagnosis, such as: • With an IBS installed the last 32 cycles of closed circuit current monitoring data are stored • Last registered battery replacement • Accumulated mileage over past five days The Junction Box Electronics stores information pertaining : • Max number of unexpected wake-ups at with Term R within last 5 weeks • Last 5 control modules that prevented the vehicle from going to sleep, plus mileage reading for each event • Driving profile for the past 5 weeks Since a Terminal 30g_f relay is installed, information pertaining to the cause/reason for shutting off of terminal 30g_f such as: • With terminal R off, the DME detects, via the IBS, that the starting capability limit has been reached (battery capacity is just enough to start the vehicle). • After 30/60 minutes of terminal R off, JB detects that control modules are prevent¬ ing the vehicle from entering the sleep mode. • With terminal R off, the JB counts more than 30 wake-ups at terminal R. Once the terminal 30g_f relay has been switched off, one of the switch-on conditions is necessary in order to switch it on again. If the fault that caused the relay to switch off is due to a closed-circuit current fault, a fault code is stored in the memory of the Junction Box. The BMW diagnosis system can access and evaluate this information an facilitate an assessment of the history values and indicates the most probable cause of the problem. 41 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Closed Circuit Current The closed-circuit current on the E90 is: • Approx. 22 mA on fully equipped US vehicles. A check control message is displayed if a closed-circuit current value of 80 mA was encountered while the vehicle was stationary. The following diagrams show a typical closed-circuit current progression for the E90 in connection with the various operating modes of the vehicles electrical system, with vehi¬ cle secured and not secured. The actual current values may change depending on the vehicles equipment level. Vehicle Secured/Locked 1 2 4 5 6 Vehicle Not Secured/Locked Index Explanation 1 Terminal 15 OFF 2 Terminal R OFF 3 Vehicle Secured/Locked 4 Start of Bus Rest Phase 5 Electric Load Shut-Down (Terminal 30) after 16 Minutes if Vehicle is Not Locked 6 Terminal 30g OFF (30 Minutes without TCU or 60 Minutes with TCU) The electric load shutdown terminal 30 (VA) for interior, footwell, reading and vanity mirror lights is switched off immediately when the vehicle is secured/locked. If the vehicle is not locked after the engine was running, for an extended time, terminal 30 (VA) is switched off after 16 minutes. The function is activated by the footwell module. 42 E90 Voltage Supply & Bus Systems Transport Mode The following functions are switched off and on in the E90 when vehicle is placed into transport mode.
