With the launch of the E90, the distributed function concept will be continued and further developed. The associated optimization of the wiring/cabling through fewer interfaces is also an important aspect when evaluating cost reduction and assembly time. For diagnosis, on the other hand, the concept of "distributed functions" signifies a new challenge. In terms of the control module, it is no longer apparent what functions it initi¬ ates. In the E90 there are several systems (i.e. Central Locking, Power Windows and Interior Lighting) whose functions are distributed over the following control modules: Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Junction Box (JB) & Junction Box Elect (JBE) 4 Car Access System 2 (CAS2) 2 Roof Functions Center (FZD) 5 Footwell Module (FRM) 3 Comfort Access (CA) 8 E90 General Vehicle Electrical To get a better understanding of the concept of “distributed functions” using the Central Locking System as an example. To date (E46), the "Central Locking" function was located primarily in the General Module (GM) or, on the E60 in the Basic Body Module (KBM) and the door modules. The "Central Locking" function in the E90 is distributed over several control modules (Car Access System, Junction Box Electronics Control Module & Footwell Module). Distributing functions over several control module offers the advantage that sensors and actuators are connected directly to a control module in the vicinity of their installed loca¬ tion, which result is shorter cable connections. By interlinking the control modules, it is possible to exchange sensor data between them. The primary control modules for the systems in the E90 are: • Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) • Car Access 2 (CAS2) • Footwell Module (FRM) • Roof Function Center (FZD) The distributed functions concept is used/identified in the following General Vehicle Electrical Systems: • Central Locking (ZV)) • Comfort Access (CA) • Interior Lighting (IB) • Power Windows (FH) • Slide/tilt Sunroof (SHD) • Anti-theft Alarm System (DWA) • Electronic Steering Lock (ELV) • Wiper Washer System • Park Distance Control (PDC) • Vehicle Exterior Lighting • Adaptive Headlight Control • Steering Column Switch Cluster (SZL) • Outside Mirror • Power Seats • Rear Sun Shade 9 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Primary Control Modules Functions of Junction Box Electronics Control Module Outside Mirror Anti-theft Alarm System Instrument Cluster Central Locking Gateway K-CAN PT-CAN D-Bus Park Distance Control Roller Sun Blind Rear Window Defogger Seat Heating Power Windows IHKA Rain and Lights Sensor Wipe/wash System The Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) serves as: • Gateway Module for vehicle Bus System (provides a pass-through function for F-CAN) • Evaluator & transmitter of sensor data for Kombi such as Engine Coolant Level, Washer Fluid Level, Fuel Level, Hand Brake Contact (evaluated data is transmitted on to the Instrument Cluster) • Evaluator & transmitter of sensor data for IHKA such as Automatic Recirculation Air Control, Coolant Pressure (evaluated data is transmitted on to the IHKA module) • Activator of Compressor Valve and Rear Window Defogger (activation control data is transmitted from IHKA module) • Controller of Wipe/Wash functions, Heated Washer Jets, Seat Heating, Mirror Heating, Water Valve, Relay 30g_f, Rear Power Windows, Rear Window Sun Shade • Locking & Unlocking of complete vehicle • Pass-through for Outside Temp Sensor 10 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Connection to Main Wiring Harness (54-pin) 3 Direct contact to Power Distribution Box (23-pin) 2 Connection to Instrument Cluster (54-pin) 4 Connection to Main Wiring Harness (47-pin) 11 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Functions of Footwell Module The Footwell Module (FRM) serves as: • Gateway Module for communication between devices connected to the LIN Bus and K-CAN (Outside Mirror & Drivers Switch Cluster). • Evaluator of data from Door Contacts and Door Lock Cylinders • Activator/controller of all Exterior Lights, Adaptive Headlights, • Controller of Front Power Windows, Electric Load Shut-down • Activation of Power Window Anti-Trap • Stores the Vehicle Order information Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Connection to Main Wiring Harness (51 -pin) 3 Connection to Instrument Cluster (46-pin) 2 Connection to Main Wiring Harness (51-pin) 4 12 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Functions of Roof Function Center The Roof Function Center (FZD) serves as: • Controller of Sunroof Functions • Gateway for Rain Light Sensor (Data transmitted from RLS to FZD via LIN Bus then transmitted via K-CAN from FZD to other modules) • Evaluator of data from Condensation sensor and calculates relative humidity (data is transmitted via K-CAN to IHKA) • Evaluator of data from Interior Electrochromatic Rear View Mirror (data from mirror is converted and transmitted to FRM via K-CAN, FRM dips the outside mirrors) • Supplies power to Universal Garage Door opener • Activation/Controller of Vanity Mirror lighting, Map/Reading and Interior Light • Integration point for Passenger Airbag light, Microphone, and Emergency call button Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Connection to Main Wiring Harness (20-pin) 3 Connection to Main Wiring Harness (4-pin) 2 Connection to Interior RearView Mirror (20-pin) 4 Connection to Rear Interior Lighting (20-pin) 13 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Functions of Car Access System The Car Access System 2 (CAS2) serves as: • Ignition Switch/Terminal control • Master controller for Central Locking, Comfort Access, Power Windows and Sunroof (issues enable command) • Actuator/Controller of Electronic Steering Lock • “Key” validation device and Electronic Vehicle Immobilization • Redundant data storage device for Vehicle Order • Storage point for Condition Based Service (CBS) data • Control of KL15 and KL 30g relays Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Connection to Wiring Harness (42-pin) 2 Ribbon Cable Connector (14-pin) 14 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Car Access System 2 - Input/Output V 16 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Legend for Car Access System 2 Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Hood Contact Switch 22 Center-Lock Button 2 Car Access System 2 CAS 2 23 Truck Lid Button, Interior 3 Clutch Switch 24 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 4 Brake Light Switch BLS Kl.

The central locking can be operated via the following components: • Remote control/identification transmitter • Driver's door lock barrel (door lock) • Center-lock button • Electronic outer door handle module (TAGE) in connection with comfort access Control Modules for Central Locking Function Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Car Access System 2 (CAS2) 3 Junction Box (JB) 2 Footwell Module (FRM 20 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Car Access System 2 (CAS2) As soon as the CAS2 receives the lock/unlock signal from the remote control receiver, it checks whether the identification transmitter is valid and belongs to the vehicle. Only if the check/authentication, which takes a few milliseconds, is successful will the CAS2 for¬ ward the reguest to activate the central locking. The CAS2, serves as the master control module for the central locking system, as it issues the enable signal to activate a lock/unlock function. An enable status signal is transmitted to the JBE from CAS2 via K-CAN. Signal Path: Remote control to remote receiver to CAS2; or Central lock button input to CAS2; Enable signal from CAS2 to JBE via K-CAN (if all doors are closed) Door status signal from FRM to JBE via K-CAN then JBE via K-Can to CAS2 Example: The reguest to lock the vehicle, is not executed while the driver's door is open. Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) The Junction Box Electronics Control Module is responsible for implementing the lock/unlock operation for the entire vehicle, as it contains the lock/unlock relays which in turn drive the respective lock/unlock motors. The following central locking relays are activated by JBE: • Driver's door • Rear doors • Front passenger's door • Fuel filler flap The central locking function for the trunk lid is activated directly via a power output stage. Signal Path: Enable signal from CAS2 to JBE via K-CAN; JBE activates lock/unlock func¬ tion via direct activation of relay(s) Footwell Module (FRM) The Footwell Module (FRM) monitors the hall sensors of the door contacts to determine if a door is open or closed. CAS2 indirectly obtains the door status information and uses the information to determine if an enable signal is to be provided to the JBE. Signal Path: Door contact signals input to FRM; Door status signal from FRM to JBE via K-CAN then forwarded from JBE via K-Can to CAS2. 21 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Unlocking/Locking the Vehicle The central locking system can be activated only when the driver's door is closed. The vehicle unlocking/locking procedure is initiated by the following system components: • Remote control/identification transmitter • Center-lock button • Mechanical key/spare key Note: The identification transmitter is incorporated with the remote control function and is used solely for Comfort Access. The vehicle activates the identification transmitter by way of a radio signal from the Comfort Access System. This makes it possible to unlock the vehicle without actively using the identification transmitter. The central locking system activates the following system components: • Central locking, driver's and front passenger's door • Central locking, rear doors • Central locking, fuel tank • Central locking, trunk lid Example: If the vehicle is unlocked using identification transmitter/remote control the unlocking procedures is as shown below. Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Identification Transmitter 7 Central Locking, rear side driver's door, passenger doors, fuel filler flap 2 Rear Window Antenna 8 Central Locking, Driver's Door 3 Remote Control Receiver 9 Central Locking,Trunk Lid 4 Car Access System (CAS2) 10 Footwell Module FRM 5 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 11 Door Contacts 6 Relay for Central Locking 22 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Unlocking Procedure As soon as the unlock button on the identification transmitter is pressed, the signal initial¬ ly reaches the rear window antenna followed by the remote control receiver. The remote control receiver is located in the diversity module and forwards the signal to the CAS2. The signal from the identification transmitter is verified in the CAS2. If the signal is recog¬ nized as valid, the JBE is enabled for the purpose of unlocking the central locking drive units. The JBE now activates the relay to trigger the vehicle unlocking procedure. Locking Procedure The vehicle can be locked only after the Footwell Module has evaluated the door con¬ tacts and the CAS2 signals that the doors are closed. Using Identification Transmitter The identification transmitter sends out a coded signal as soon as the unlock or lock but¬ ton is pressed. The signal from the identification transmitter is demodulated and conditioned in the remote control receiver. This signal is then made available to the car access system 2. All central locking drive units assume the "lock" position during the vehicle locking proce¬ dure. The central locking drive units in the doors additionally assume the "central arrest" position. On conclusion of the central arrest procedure, the locking buttons in the doors are mechanically separated from the central locking drive system. The vehicle can then no longer be unlocked using the locking buttons in the doors. The trunk lid can also be opened separately with the identification transmitter. Center-Lock Button The vehicle can be locked/unlocked with the center-lock button. The CAS 2 receives a high signal (battery voltage approx. 12 V) when the center-lock button is not pressed. The high signal changes to a low signal (approx. 0 V) as soon as the center-lock button is pressed. The CAS 2 evaluates the change from the high signal to the low signal and locks/unlocks the vehicle. The signal from the center-lock button is looped through the Junction Box Electronics Control Module. Mechanical Key/Spare Key The footwell module evaluates the Hall sensors for the lock barrel in the driver's door. The CAS2 is informed of the change in status via the K-CAN. The CAS2 enables the vehicle unlocking/locking procedure. The JBE initiates the vehi¬ cle unlocking/ locking procedure. 23 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Locking Button on Vehicle Doors All four doors can be locked mechanically, by using the separate locking buttons. If the button on the door is depressed, then the inner door handle of the door to be unlocked must be pulled twice to unlock the vehicle door. In this situation the Junction Box Electronics Control Module does not activate the cen¬ tral locking. Opening the Trunk Lid The trunk lid can be unlocked via the remote control, the identification transmitter, the outer or inner trunk lid release button. Opening with Remote Control/Identification Transmitter The trunk lid is opened with the remote control/identification transmitter by pressing on the trunk lid symbol. The trunk lid opens irrespective of whether the vehicle is locked or not. The motor in the lock of the trunk lid is activated via a power output stage in the JBE in order to open the trunk lid. Opening with the Outer Trunk Lid Button As soon as the vehicle is unlocked, the trunk lid can be opened by pressing the outer trunk lid button. The microswitch switches to ground when the outer trunk lid button is pressed. The JBE monitors the microswitch. The trunk lid is unlocked and opened when the sig¬ nal from the microswitch goes to low. Opening with the InnerTrunk Lid Button As soon as the vehicle is unlocked, the trunk lid can be opened by pressing the inner trunk lid button. The inner trunk lid button is installed on the A-pillar on the driver's side. It switches to ground. The microswitch is routed directly to the CAS2. As soon as the signal of the microswitch goes to low, the CAS2 sends this status to the JBE. In turn, the JBE acti¬ vates the motor in the lock of the trunk lid. 24 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Special Functions Automatic Locking (Personal Profile) The vehicle is locked automatically when driving at a speed in excess of 16 km/h. The speed signal is made available by the DSC module. The vehicle is unlocked in connection with Comfort Access (CA) as soon as terminal 15 is switched off. On vehicles without Comfort Access (CA), the unlocking procedure is triggered by removing the remote control from its holder. Selective Unlocking With corresponding coding, the vehicle can also be unlocked selectively. In this case, the driver's door is initially unlocked. The rest of the vehicle is unlocked in response to a renewed unlock request. Unlocking After an Accident A locked central locking system is unlocked as soon as the CAS2 receives a crash mes¬ sage from the Multiple Restraint System 5 (MRS5). On receiving the crash signal, the center-lock button and the remote control receiver are inhibited for the central locking functions. The center-lock button and the remote control receiver are enabled again only after the a change in terminal R OFF/terminal R ON. 25 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Location of Control Modules Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Footwell Module (FRM) 3 Junction Box (JB) 2 Car Access System 2 (CAS2) Footwell Module (FRM) The footwell module is located in the left hand A-pillar. It evaluates the status of the door contacts and reads the Hall sensor signals from the lock barrel in the driver's door and transfers the information via the Junction Box Electronics Control Module to the Car Access System 2. Car Access System 2 (CAS2) The Car Access System 2 is installed to the left of the steering column. The CAS2 assumes the master function for the Central Locking System, it has the exclusive system authorization and is simply supported by the other control modules. Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) The Junction Box Electronics Control Module is integrated in the front power distribution box. The JBE contains the relays for activating the central locking drive modules. The trunk lid is operated via a power output stage. The signals from the outer trunk lid button and center-lock button are also sent to the JBE and transferred to the CAS2. The remote control receiver is powered by the Junction Box Electronics Control Module. 26 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Components of Central Locking System Controls Central locking can be operated from the following controls: • Remote control • Identification transmitter • Center-lock button • Driver's door lock barrel Remote Control Each vehicle is delivered with one spare key and two remote control units. The adapter for the spare key is located in the glove compartment. Note: A third remote control for the vehicle is optionally available. This remote control can be ordered through Spare Parts. The remote control has three buttons for operating the central locking system. There is a rechargeable battery in the remote control that is charged by means of a transponder coil in the remote control holder. The mechanical key is integrated in the remote control.

Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Hazard Warning Flasher Button 3 Stratification Potentiometer 2 Dynamic Stability Control Button 4 Central Lock Button Driver's Door Lock Barrel The lock barrel is connected mechanically via a linkage to the door lock. Hall sensors for the lock barrel are integrated in the door lock. The footwell module evaluates the signals from the Hall sensors for locking/unlocking purposes. Central Locking Drive Units A central locking drive unit consists of an electric drive unit and the unlocking/locking mechanism. Central Locking Drive Units in the Doors The central locking drive units in the doors are equipped with two motors to facilitate the unlocking/locking and central arrest functions of the vehicle. Central arrest means that the locking button in the doors is separated mechanically from the central locking drive unit. As a result, the vehicle cannot be opened by pulling the locking button. The Hall sensor for the door contact is additionally integrated in the cen¬ tral locking drive unit. 28 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Central Locking Drive Units for Truck Lid and Fuel Filler Flap The central locking drive units for the truck lid and fuel filler flap are each equipped with a motor for unlocking/locking purposes. Manually Release for Fuel Filler Flap The fuel filler flap can be unlocked manually in the event of an electrical defect. The release device is located in the luggage compartment on the right behind the luggage compartment cover. 1. Remove cover 2. Pull green knob with fuel pump symbol. Lock Barrel, Trunk Lid The trunk lid can be unlocked via the lock barrel using the mechanical key or spare key. This a pure mechanical unlocking function and triggers no response in the central locking.

What modules directly controls/activates the relays for lock/unlocking the vehicle? 3. What module provides information regarding the status of the door contacts? 4. How many remote controls are available? 34 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Comfort Access Comfort Access (SA 322) is offered as an option for the E90. "Comfort Access" is a passive access system. This means the vehicle is unlocked by grasping the outer door handle, provided the identification transmitter is located within a radius of no more than approx. .5 -1.5 m from the vehicle. With Comfort Access it is sufficient for the driver to simply carry the identification trans¬ mitter on his/her person in order to open or start the vehicle. "Keyless" access to the vehicle was implemented for the first time on the E65 and has been adapted for the E90. As with many of these systems the operation/functions are distributed among several different control modules. Comfort Access utilizes the same modules that are utilized for the Central Locking function plus two more.

CAS2 requires that the antenna in the area of the request transmit a request for validation to the ID Transmitter. The ID transmitter transmits a signal to the remote control receiver, which in turn forwards the signal to the CAS2 where the signal is checked to be valid and belonging to the vehi¬ cle. Only if the check/authentication, which takes a few milliseconds, is successful will the CAS2 forward the request to activate the specific function. The CAS2, serves as the master control module for the central locking system, as it issues the enable signal to activate a lock/unlock function. An enable status signal is transmitted to the JBE from CAS2 via K-CAN. Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) The Junction Box Electronics Control Module is responsible for implementing the lock/unlock operation for the entire vehicle, as it contains the lock/unlock relays which in turn drive the respective lock/unlock motors. The following central locking relays are activated by JBE: • Driver's door • Rear doors • Front passenger's door • Fuel filler flap The central locking function for the trunk lid is activated directly via a power output stage. Signal Path: Enable signal from CAS2 to JBE via K-CAN; JBE activates lock/unlock func¬ tion via direct activation of relay(s) Footwell Module (FRM) The Footwell Module (FRM) monitors the hall sensors of the door contacts to determine if a door is open or closed. CAS2 indirectly obtains the door status information and uses the information to determine if an enable signal is to be provided to the JBE. Signal Path: Door contact signals input to FRM; Door status signal from FRM to JBE via K-CAN then forwarded from JBE via K-Can to CAS2. Comfort Access Control Module The Comfort Access Module controls/activates the antennas located on the exterior and interior of the vehicle, plus reads/transfers the data received from the Electronic Outer Door Handle Module to the CAS2. 36 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) The Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) transmits door handle status data via CAS BUS(K-BUS) to the Comfort Access module, which in turn forwards the data to CAS2. Information from the door handle that is transmitted is primarily related to changes at the capacitive sensors and hall sensors integrated into the door handle. Functions of Comfort Access The main advantages of Comfort Access (CA) are: • Passive Entry - Unlocking the vehicle without actively using the ID transmitter • Passive Go -Starting engine without inserting the ID transmitter into its holder • Passive Exit - Locking authorization without actively using the ID transmitter Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) 6 Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV) 2 Identification Transmitter/Remote 7 Comfort Access (CA) 3 Rear Window Antenna 4 Remote Control Receiver CAS- Bus/K-Bus K-Bus protocol 5 Car Access System 2 (CAS 2) K-CAN Body Bus Note: In connection with the comfort access system, the vehicle must activate the identification transmitter by means of a radio signal so that the trans¬ mitter is registered with the vehicle (authentication). 37 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Passive Entry Passive entry enables access to the vehicle without operating the Identification Transmitter/Remote Control. Note: The vehicle cannot be woken and opened without a valid ID transmitter being present within a .5-1.5 m radius from a specific external antenna. The vehicle in sleep mode is woken with the presence of a valid ID transmitter/remote control and activation of the Comfort Access System is started by grasping the outer door handle. Unlocking The capacitive sensor in the Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) recognizes that the handle has been grasped and activates the transmit antenna. The transmit antenna sends a 125 kHz signal to the identification transmitter. In turn, the identification transmitter sends a 315 MHz high frequency signal to the remote control receiver, which contains the authentication request. The CAS2 checks the authentication of the identification transmitter. Following successful authentication, the CAS2 issues the enable signal to unlock the vehicle and initiates the vehicle unlocking procedure. The JBE executes the unlocking procedure. Note: At this point the steering is not yet unlocked. Opening Trunk Lid An authentication check also takes place before opening the trunk lid, an identification transmitter must be located within the rear area of the vehicle. After successful authentication, the trunk lid can be unlocked and opened with the outer trunk lid button. Passive Go The passive go function makes it possible to start the vehicle without the ID transmitter being inserted in its holder. Note: The vehicle cannot be started without a valid ID transmitter being located in the interior of the vehicle. Issuing Start Enable After the door has been opened, the CAS2 starts the check after 3 s to establish whether there is a valid ID transmitter in the vehicle. The CAS2 instructs the Comfort Access control module to again send out the identifier for a valid ID transmitter. The Comfort Access Module sends the request via the interior antennas. 38 E90 General Vehicle Electrical The identification transmitter replies with a code via the high frequency link (315 MHz) to the remote control receiver. This code contains data for the electronic vehicle immobilizer. The car access system 2 issues the enable to start the engine for the DME/DDE and the electric steering lock is unlocked. Passive Exit The passive exit function makes it possible to lock the vehicle without actively using the ID transmitter/remote control. Note: The vehicle cannot be unlocked without a valid identification transmitter within a .5-1.5 m radius from a specific external antenna. Locking Procedure After the vehicle door has been closed, the locking procedure is started by touching the recognition point/area on the outer door handle. The electronic outer door handle mod¬ ule sends the request to lock the vehicle via the K-Bus to the Comfort Access System. Based on the exterior and/or interior antennas, the Comfort Access System checks where the ID transmitter is located. The ID transmitter is instructed to send an authentication signal. In turn, the identification sensor sends encrypted data via the high frequency link to the remote control receiver. The CAS2 checks whether the ID transmitter is valid. Upon successful completion of the check, the CAS2 issues the enable signal to lock the drive units and initiates the steering locking procedure. The JBE activates the central locking drive units. 39 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Special Comfort Access Functions The Comfort Access System additionally features special functions that are determined by the actions of the vehicle user such as: ID Transmitters Remain in Vehicle If an ID transmitter remains in the vehicle interior, by checking via the interior antennas, the car access system 2 recognizes whether there is a valid identification transmitter in the vehicle interior. If a valid identification transmitter is detected in the vehicle interior and the vehicle is locked by means of another valid identification transmitter, the identification transmitter located in the vehicle interior is set to "invalid". For the Comfort Access System, this identification transmitter is considered as no longer belonging to the vehicle until the vehicle is unlocked again. ID Transmitter Remains in Trunk If an ID transmitter is in luggage compartment, upon closing the trunk lid, it is immediately opened (automatically). If there is an identification transmitter in the luggage compartment of the locked vehicle with the trunk lid open. An audible and visual signal draws the customer's attention to the fact that the identification transmitter has been left in the luggage compartment. On request from the CAS2, the Comfort Access control module starts the check via the interior antennas. The valid identification transmitter in the luggage compartment is rec¬ ognized via the luggage compartment antenna. Consequently, the CAS2 does not issue the enable signal to lock the trunk lid. The trunk lid cannot be closed before the ID transmitter has been removed and is located outside the luggage compartment. Note: An ID transmitter can be locked in the truck if a second valid ID transmit¬ ter is identified as being on the exterior of the vehicle within the radius of the bumper antenna or if the valet function is active. Engine Start Disable The engine cannot be started if the identification transmitter is located in the luggage compartment of the unlocked vehicle. Note: The CAS2 issues the enable signal for starting the engine only when a valid identification transmitter has been detected in the vehicle interior. 40 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Starting Engine without ID Transmitter The function makes it possible to start the vehicle within 10 s after "engine OFF" without detecting the identification transmitter. This function is intended for cases where the identification transmitter is not detected due to high frequency interference, as an exam¬ ple. Check Control Message, Terminal 15 The Comfort Access System enables terminal selection without the ID transmitter being inserted in its holder. It is possible that terminal 15 is selected by pressing the START- STOP button. A corresponding check control message is shown in the instrument clus¬ ter after the door is opened. An audible signal also sounds. Note: The battery may be discharged if the driver ignores the warnings and locks the vehicle. Unintentional Wake-up Function The sensors are subject to a check procedure in order to avoid waking the electronic outer door handle module by touching the outer door handle without a valid identification transmitter. The identification transmitter is requested to send an authentication signal. If no valid ID transmitter is detected, the electronic outer door handle module receives this information from the CAS2. In this case, the electronic outer door handle module remains inactive until a valid identification transmitter is detected. Locking with Engine Running The vehicle can also be unlocked with the engine running if the engine was started with passive go. When leaving the vehicle, the ID transmitter must also be taken and the vehi¬ cle locked from the outside. 41 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Components of Comfort Access System The following graphic shows all components of the Comfort Access System with the respective control modules and control components. Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Car Access System (CAS 2) 6 Comfort Access (CA) 2 Footwell Module (FRM) 7 Electric Steering Lock (ELV) 3 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 8 Electric Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) 4 Digital Motor Electronics (DME/ECM) 9 Remote Control Receiver 5 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 10 Antennas Comfort Access Control Module In addition to providing Central Locking functions, the option SA 322 Comfort Access is installed to facilitate Passive Entry, Passive Go and Passive Exit func¬ tions. The Comfort Access control module is located at the right rear of the luggage compartment. The Comfort Access Module controls/acti¬ vates the antennas located on the exterior and interior of the vehicle, plus reads/trans¬ fers the data received from the Electronic Outer Door Handle Module to the CAS2. Index Explanation 1 N/A 2 Comfort Access Module (CA) 3 Park Distance Control Module (PDC) 4 N/A 42 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Identification Transmitter The identification transmitter for Comfort Access must be actuated by means of a coded 125 kHz radio signal that is transmitted from the Electronic Outer Door Handle Module or exterior antenna. The coded 125 kHz radio signal enables the ID transmitter to transmits a coded 315 MHz high frequency validation signal that is received by the remote control receiver and forwarded to the CAS2, which determines if the ID Transmitter as valid and belongs to the vehicle. The ID transmitter is exclusively responsible for use/operation of the Comfort Access System. The ID transmitter does not need to be operated to enable access to the vehicle, it simply needs be carried on the person that is accessing/operating the vehicle. The ID transmitter for Comfort Access uti¬ lizes a replaceable battery, which is the identifiable difference when compared to the regular remote control that has an inte¬ grated rechargeable battery. The ID trans¬ mitter for Comfort Access does not need to be inserted in the holder in order to start the vehicle it just needs to be located in the interior of the vehicle in order to start the engine. The service life of the battery in the ID Transmitter is about 2 years. Voltage Monitoring The ID Transmitter monitors its own battery voltage in two stages: • First stage the ID Transmitter signals to the CAS2 that the battery is "flat" (dis¬ charged). In response, the CAS 2 generates a check control message. The check control message informs the customer that the battery needs to be changed. • Second Stage if the battery is not changed, the voltage monitoring facility initiates a function which saves the data in the ID Transmitter is saved and then ID Transmitter is set/made "inoperable". Index Explanation 1 Unlock Button for Mechanical Key 2 Battery Compartment 43 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Antennas for Comfort Access Six antennas are installed for the comfort access system. Three antennas are located in the exterior and three in the interior. The antennas for the exterior and interior are inductive antennas and have a ferrite core which contributes to their compact size. This is of particular advantage for accommodat¬ ing the antennas in the outer door handles. The transmit freguency of the antennas is 125 kHz. All messages that are sent via the antennas are encrypted. Locations of Exterior Antennas The exterior antennas are installed in the following locations on the E90: • Door Handle, Driver's side • Door Handle, Passenger's side • Rear Bumper Locations of Interior Antennas The interior antennas are installed in the following locations on the E90: • Passenger Compartment, Front • Passenger Compartment, Centre • Luggage Compartment 44 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Antenna in Outer Door Handles The antenna in the outer door handles is an integral part of the electronic outer door han¬ dle module. The antenna characteristic is structured such that it covers the area about the vehicle doors. Antenna in Bumper The antenna in the rear bumper is of the same design as the interior antennas. It features a waterproof plug connection to ensure no water enters the antenna. The antenna characteristic is structured such that it covers the rear area and enables access to the luggage compartment. Antennas for the Passenger Compartment The antenna characteristic is spherical. The entire vehicle interior is covered by the two interior antennas. The interior antennas are important for checking whether there is an identification trans¬ mitter located in the interior. Antenna for Luggage Compartment Due to its design, the luggage compartment acts as a "separate" area in the vehicle. This arrangement makes it easier for the comfort access system to identify the identification transmitter in the luggage compartment. The luggage compartment antenna is of the same design as the interior antenna. The antenna characteristic is laid out such that it covers the entire luggage compartment. Interior Antenna 45 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) The outer door handle contains the components of the Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE), which is connected to terminal 30 and operates within a voltage range from 9 V to 16 V. Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Capacitive Sensor 1 3 Hall Sensor 2 Capacitive Sensor 2 4 Exterior Antenna The electronic outer door handle module is connected to the vehicle via the K-Bus thus making available the information from the capacitive sensors and the Hall sensor. Design The Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) contains the following components: • 3 sensors - Capacitive sensor 1 for unlocking the vehicle - Capacitive sensor 2 for locking the vehicle - A Hall sensor for pulling the outer door handle • Inductive antenna for the exterior • Electronic module for outer door handle and interface for CAS-bus. 46 E90 General Vehicle Electrical With the aid of 3 sensors, the TAGE module detects the status of the outer door handle. Each change in the status of the outer door handle module triggers on of the corre¬ sponding functions: • Trigger pulse when a hand is moved around the outer door handle; capacitive sensor 1 • Unlock reguest by pulling the outer door handle; Hall sensor • Lock reguest by touching the recognition point/area on the outer door handle; capacitive sensor 2 Sensors To protect the battery, the TAGE module switches off the capacitive sensors for the dri¬ ver's side after the vehicle has been at rest for 192 hours. The capacitive sensors on the passenger's side are switched off after 72 hours. Functional Principle of the Capacitive Sensor The capacitive sensor consists of three capacitor plates (electrodes). The dielectric is the air gap between the door handle and the body/door panel of the vehicle. One capacitor plate is the car body including the surrounding vehicle. The other two capacitor plates are located in the outer door handle. The outer door handle is split in two parts with respect to the capacitor plates. One capacitor plate is in the outer door handle. The other capacitor plate is contained in the grooved area on the upper portion of the outer door handle. The functional principle of the capacitive sensor is based on a change in the electrical field between the capacitor plates, which results in a change in the capacitance of the capacitor. A change in capaci¬ tance occurs (increase) whenever a hand is placed between the body and the outer door handle (grabbing of the handle). The electronic circuitry in the outer door handle wakes up based on a defined change in capacitance, which is referred to as triggering. The capacitive sensor responds with a pulse only to fast changes in its capacitance. Changes in its environment such as slow soiling of the outer door handle or rain therefore have no influence on the function of the capacitive sensor. When unlocking/locking the vehicle, the sensors are mutually blocked for a period of 2 sec., meaning that after locking, unlocking is inhibited for 2 sec and vice versa. Capacitive Sensor 1 Capacitive Sensor 1 is responsible for initiating the Unlock request by generating pulse when a hand is held between the "capacitor plates", door handle and door panel/body. The pulse wakes up the electronic circuitry in the TAGE. If the vehicle is in sleep mode, the TAGE will send a wake up request via K-Bus to the Comfort Access Module and CAS2. CAS2 will request that a signal be sent from the external antenna to the ID Transmitter asking for a validation signal. The Comfort Access module switches on the remote control receiver in order to receive the validation signal sent from the ID transmit¬ ter. 47 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Electric field, capacitor 1 3 Capacitor plate, capacitive sensor 2 2 Electric field, capacitor 2 4 Capacitor plate, capacitive sensor 1 Capacitive Sensor 2 A change in capacitance at sensor 2 is achieved by placing the thumb on the grooved area of the door handle. The change in capacitance generates a signal from sensor 2, resulting in the TAGE sending a lock request via the K-Bus (CAS-Bus) to the CAS2. Hall Sensor of the Outer Door Handle The Hall sensor is redundant to the capacitive sensor 1. If the TAGE has switched off the capacitive sensors, the Hall sensor is still operational after 192 hours which allows the unlocking procedure to also be started via the Hall sensor. The Hall sensor changes its status from low to high when the outer door handle is pulled. The TAGE monitors the status of the hall sensor and consequently detects whether access to the vehicle is requested. The monitoring cycle takes place every 40 ms in order to save the vehicle battery. A sig¬ nal is triggered when the sensor reaches a defined threshold. The electronic outer door handle module detects the signal and switches on the power supply of the Hall sensor for checking purposes. 48 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Lock in Driver's Door & Front Passenger's Door The capacitive sensor 1 initiates the vehicle unlocking procedure. The lock in the driver's door and front passenger's door is equipped with an additional spring to ensure the vehicle can be opened fast enough. The spring exerts pretension on the central locking drive unit for the unlocking procedure. The door is already unlocked before an attempt is made to open it with the outer door handle. Note: If pulled very fast, however, it may be necessary to pull the outer door handle a second time in order to open the door. 49 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Comfort Access - Input/Output 50 E90 General Vehicle Electrical TE04-5662 Legend for Comfort Access Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Lock Barrel, Driver's Door 20 Hall Sensor, ID transmitter in Holder 2 Footwell Module (FRM) 21 Hall Sensor, ID transmitter in Holder 3 Car Access System 2 (CAS 2) 22 Identification Transmitter Locked in Holder 4 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 23 Identification Transmitter Holder 5 TAGE Hall sensor, Front Passenger's Side 24 Identification Transmitter 6 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Front Passenger's Side 25 Electric Steering Lock ELV 7 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Front Passenger's Side 26 Rear Window Antenna 8 TAGE Antenna, Front Passenger's Side 27 Remote Control Receiver 9 Comfort Access (CA) 28 LED START/STOP Button 10 Exterior Antenna 29 Hall sensor, START/STOP Button 11 Luggage Compartment Antenna 30 Hall sensor, START/STOP Button 12 Interior Antenna, Rear 31 START/STOP button 13 Interior Antenna, Front CAS- Bus/K-Bus (K-bus protocol 14 TAGE Antenna, Driver's Side K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 15 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Driver's Side Kl. 30 Terminal 30 16 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Driver's Side FBD Remote Control Services 17 TAGE Hall sensor, Driver's Side FBDON Remote Control Services ON 18 Door Contact FBD OUT Remote Control Services OUT 19 Transponder Coil 51 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Comfort Access - Circuit Diagram 52 E90 General Vehicle Electrical TE04-5663 Legend for Comfort Access Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Lock Barrel, Driver's Door 20 Hall Sensor, ID transmitter in Holder 2 Footwell Module (FRM) 21 Hall Sensor, ID transmitter in Holder 3 Car Access System 2 (CAS 2) 22 Identification Transmitter Locked in Holder 4 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 23 Identification Transmitter Holder 5 TAGE Hall sensor, Front Passenger's Side 24 Identification Transmitter 6 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Front Passenger's Side 25 Electric Steering Lock ELV 7 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Front Passenger's Side 26 Rear Window Antenna 8 TAGE Antenna, Front Passenger's Side 27 Remote Control Receiver 9 Comfort Access (CA) 28 LED START/STOP Button 10 Exterior Antenna 29 Hall sensor, START/STOP Button 11 Luggage Compartment Antenna 30 Hall sensor, START/STOP Button 12 Interior Antenna, Rear 31 START/STOP button 13 Interior Antenna, Front CAS- Bus/K-Bus (K-bus protocol 14 TAGE Antenna, Driver's Side K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 15 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Driver's Side Kl. 30 Terminal 30 16 TAGE Capacitive Sensor, Driver's Side FBD Remote Control Services 17 TAGE Hall sensor, Driver's Side FBDON Remote Control Services ON 18 Door Contact FBD OUT Remote Control Services OUT 19 Transponder Coil 53 E90 General Vehicle Electrical 1 .

The interaction of these three control units is described in more detail on the following pages. 55 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Footwell Module (FRM) All interior lighting outputs of the Footwell Module are pulse-modulated to ensure that the interior lighting functions are at a constant brightness level in the event of voltage fluctuations. The pulse width modulation is also used for the soft ON/OFF function. The Footwell Module features the following functions for the interior lighting: • Switching the interior lighting on/off • Electric load shut-down after 16 minutes • Instrument lighting, terminal 58g Switching on the Interior Lighting The footwell module receives numerous input signals that switch on the interior lighting. For instance, the input signals from the footwell module are read in directly or received via the K-CAN. The input signals for the interior lighting are listed in the following. Input Signals From Input Signals From Central Locking Signals CAS2 Barrel Lock, Driver's Door FRM Crash Signal MRS 5 Interior Light Switch FRM/FZD Door Contacts FRM Central Locking, Trunk Lid JB Switching-on Conditions The interior lighting is switched on in response to one of the following conditions: • Unlock via barrel lock in driver's door • Unlock via remote control/identification transmitter • Terminal R OFF when terminal 58g was ON • Receiving crash signal • Lock button on remote control/ ID transmitter pressed when the central locking has been in central arrest state for longer than 10 s • Interior lighting button pressed. Switching Off Interior Lighting The FRM receives numerous signals to switch off the interior lighting via the K-CAN or are obtained indirectly by the FRM. 56 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Switch-off Conditions The interior lighting is switched off under the following conditions: • Central locking in central arrest, all doors and the trunk lid are closed • Terminal R OFF after 16 mins • Interior lighting button pressed for longer than 3 s • Terminal R ON with doors closed • Terminal 58 ON and terminal R OFF The interior lighting is switched off if no door is opened within 20 s. • The interior lighting is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked via the remote control/identification transmitter and no door is opened after 20 s. • Terminal R OFF and a vehicle door is opened for longer than 1 min • "Power down" via diagnosis Electric Load Shutdown By way of terminal R OFF, the interior lighting system is switched off by the FRM after 16 min. For this purpose, the Footwell Module sends the electric load shut-down informa¬ tion via the K-CAN. The Roof Functions Center (FZD) receives this information and switches off the interior lighting in the roof area. The interior lights that are switched on directly by the FRM are also switched off. Terminal 58g The FRM makes available terminal 58g via the K-CAN. Terminal 58g is pulse width- modulated and features the following two brightness levels: • The brightness level for the locator lighting can be set individually via the rocker switch on the column stalk. • The brightness level for the function lighting is not dimmed and is switched on at full brightness. Index Explanation 1 On-board Computer Button 2 Rocker Switch 57 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Roof Functions Center (FZD) For the interior lighting system, the Roof Functions Center represents the interface to the Footwell Module since both control modules are connected to the K-CAN. For instance, the FZD can receive instructions to switch the interior lighting on or off via the K-CAN from the FRM. The FZD is the link to the rear interior lighting unit. The interior lighting functions in the Roof Functions Center are: • Switching the interior lighting on/off on request from the Footwell Module • Reading the signals from the interior light buttons and transferring them to the Footwell Module Terminal 58g The Roof Functions Center receives the terminal 58g signal from the Footwell Module via the K-CAN and activates the lighting in the buttons. Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) The JBE is responsible for switching the luggage compartment and glove compartment lighting on and off by providing the ground connection for the lighting system. Luggage Compartment Lighting The status of the trunk lid contact changes when the trunk lid is opened manually or via the remote control/ID Transmitter, which causes the signal to go to a low level. The JBE evaluates this signal and switches on the luggage compartment lighting. The status of the trunk lid contact switch changes when the trunk lid is closed again, this causes the signal to go to a high level and the JBE switches off the luggage compart¬ ment lighting. The JBE also switches on the luggage compartment lighting when the trunk lid is opened from the inside by pressing the button on the A-pillar. Glove Compartment Lighting Opening the glove compartment operates a microswitch that switches on the glove com¬ partment lighting. Car Access System 2 (CAS2) The CAS2, serves as the master control module for the Central Locking System and issues the enable signal to activate/deactivate central locking which in turn transmits a signal, via K-CAN, to the FRM requesting the illumination of the interior light. As soon as the CAS2 receives a request to unlock/lock, the signal is checked whether it is valid and belongs to the vehicle. Only if the check is successful will the CAS2 forward the request to lock/unlock via JBE plus activate interior lighting via the FRM. 58 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Interior Lighting Components The "interior lighting" function is distributed over several control units that communicate with each other via the K-CAN..

Footwell Module (FRM) The relays for the power window motors for the driver's and passenger's side are installed in the Footwell Module. Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) The relays for the power window motors of the rear left/right doors are installed in the Junction Box Electronics Control Module. Opening & Closing The Car Access System 2 is the central control function for electric opening and closing of the power windows. This means that the CAS2 issues the signal to enable the open and close function for the power windows. The FRM and the JBE activate the power window motors. The FRM and the JBE monitor the motor speed of the respective power window motors. In this arrangement, the FRM or JBE can respond to overheating or possible blocking of the power window motors in the event of an object being trapped in the windows. Opening and Closing The corresponding power window motor is activated in OPEN or CLOSE direction by pressing or pulling the power window switches to the first notch position. The power window motor is driven until the corresponding power window switch is released. To ensure the power window is closed reliably, the power window motor is briefly driven to block status at the upper stop. Opening and Closing with Toll Function The toll function is implemented for all power windows (window regulators). The corre¬ sponding power window motor is driven in OPEN or CLOSE direction by pressing or pulling a power window switch beyond the limit stop. The power window motor moves the window automatically until it is completely open or closed. Power window operation is stopped when the power window switch is pressed or pulled again. 68 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Examples: The following examples illustrate the interaction of the individual compo¬ nents for the power windows function. Switch Cluster, Driver's Door 1. The signal is routed via the LIN-bus to the footwell module when the power window switch for the window in the driver's door or front passenger's door is operated. The footwell module drives the corresponding power window motor. 2. The signal is routed from the driver's door switch cluster via the LIN-bus to the footwell module when the power window switches for the windows in the rear doors are operated. The FRM sends the signal via the K-CAN to the JBE. On receiving the signal, the Junction Box Electronics Control Module activates the corre¬ sponding power window motor. Power window switch, front passenger's door The signal is routed to the JBE when the power window switch in the front passenger's door is operated. The JBE sends the signal via the K-CAN to the footwell module. The FRM drives the power window motor. Power window switch, rear doors The signal is routed to the JBE when the power window switches in the rear doors are operated. The JBE drives the power window motor. By way of example, the opening and closing procedure for one of the rear windows is illustrated in the signal progression in the following graphic. The opening or closing func¬ tion is initiated from the driver's door switch cluster.

Convenient Opening with Remote Control The convenient opening function is initiated by unlocking the vehicle with the remote control and keeping the button pressed for longer than 5 s. Initially, the front windows are opened, followed after a short time delay by the rear win¬ dows and the slide/tilt sunroof. If the fold in/out outside mirrors are optionally installed and the mirrors are folded in, the mirrors will be folded out at the same time the rear windows are opened. The signal from the remote control is made available to the CAS2 via the remote control receiver. The CAS2 issues the enable to operate the power windows and initiates the convenient opening function. The footwell module and the Junction Box Electronics Control Module correspondingly activate the power window motors. Convenient Closing with Remote Control The convenient closing function is initiated after locking the vehicle with the remote con¬ trol and keeping the button pressed for longer than 5 s. Initially, the slide/tilt sunroof is closed followed with a short time delay by the rear/front windows. If the folding outside mirrors option is installed, the mirrors are folded in simultaneously as the rear windows are closed. Convenient Opening and Closing via the Driver's Door Lock Barrel There are two Hall sensors installed in the door lock for the purpose of opening and clos¬ ing the vehicle. The Hall sensors enable the FRM to detect the position of the mechani¬ cal key or of the spare key in the lock barrel. The key must be turned to the open or close position to initiate the convenient opening and closing function. The convenient opening or closing function is initiated when the key is held in this position. The FRM sends the request via the K-CAN. On conclusion of the corresponding check, the CAS2 initiates the convenient opening or closing procedure. 70 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Convenient Closing with Comfort Access In connection with Comfort Access, the convenient closing function is triggered via the driver's/passenger's outer door handle. It is sufficient to touch the sensitive area of the outer door handle in order to trigger the convenient closing function via the door handle. Convenient closing starts if the sensitive area is touched for longer than 5 seconds. The identification transmitter must be within an approx. 2 m radius of the vehicle. Note: Touching the outer door handle corresponds to pressing the lock button on the ID transmitter. Indirect Anti-Trapping Protection Essentially, the indirect anti-trapping function does not prevent an object being trapped but rather it limits the trapping force to maximum 80 N. The power window motor is reversed on exceeding this trapping force. Thefootwell module and the Junction Box Electronics Control Module monitor the acti¬ vated power window motors. The indirect anti-trapping function of the front windows is activated by the footwell module. The indirect anti-trapping function of the rear windows is activated by the Junction Box Electronics Control Module. The indirect anti-trapping function in the E90 is based on the evaluation of the hall pulses from the power window motors. The speed is derived from the Hall pulses of the power window motors. Speed fluctuations within certain ranges trigger the indirect anti-trapping function so that the windows are opened. Operation of the power window switches if ineffective while the windows are opened. The window can only be operated in jolts if no operable anti-trapping function is detected as the result of defective Hall sensors. The power window (window regulator) is in emer¬ gency mode and must be reinitialized. Note: The initialization procedure is described in the Service Information. Panic Mode Panic mode is triggered by overpulling - releasing - overpulling (overpulling = pulling beyond limit stop) the power window switches. It is necessary to release and overpull the switch again in order to deactivate the anti-trapping protection function, which is still active the first time the switch is overpulled. Overpulling the power window switch the second time within 4 s closes the window with maximum force. Note: The indirect anti-trapping function is no longer active in this case. The window closes at the maximum closing force and does not reverse. 71 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Load Shut-down, Terminal 50 To protect the battery, operation of the power windows is interrupted during the vehicle start procedure. The CAS2 revokes the enable for power window operation, in order to interrupt current operation of the power windows. The signal is received by the FRM and JBE via the K-CAN. The power window switches must be pressed again following an interruption in operation. The corresponding function is not executed if the power windows are operated during the start procedure. The enable for operation of the power windows is not issued until the start procedure has been completed. Thermal Protection of Power Window Motors The FRM and the JBE monitor the power window motor temperature. The motor tem¬ perature is determined based on the outside temperature, motor running time and the time the motor is stationary (not operative). Each motor can be switched off individually to prevent the power window motors over¬ heating during operation of the power windows (window regulators). The motor is then deactivated for a defined period of time. The thermal protection function does not prevent the windows from being opened in the case of trapping. Once started, a power window function is not interrupted by the ther¬ mal protection facility. In panic mode the window can still be closed even when the thermal protection function is active. 72 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Controls Driver's Door Switch Cluster The driver's door switch cluster is connected via the LIN-bus to the footwell module. The power window switches are resistance-coded and switched to ground.

The signals from the power window switches in the front passenger's door as well as the power window switches of the both rear doors are evaluated by the JBE. Signal evaluation of the power switches is summarized in the following table. Driver’s Door Switch Cluster Door Switches Driver's Side Passenger's Side Left Rear Right Rear Passenger's Side Left Rear Right Rear Direct Link to JBE JBE JBE Connection via LIN-Bus to: FRM FRM FRM FRM 73 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Remote Control The remote control or the ID transmitter can initiate the comfort opening/closing proce¬ dure for the power windows. The operating procedure is defined in the Owner's Handbook. Power Window Motors The power window motors are equipped with Hall sensors that generate signals during motor operation, for the purpose of monitoring motor operation, and are evaluated by the FRM and JBE for the anti-trapping function. Initialization Initialization of Power Windows The front and rear power windows can be initialized via the power window switches or the BMW diagnosis system. Note: The power windows can only be moved in small increments if not initialized. Initialization via the Power Window Switches The following procedure must be performed to initialize the system: 1. Completely close window by pulling the power window switch beyond the limit stop. 2. Briefly interrupt pulling/release the power window switch and then pull the switch upwards again for approx. 1 s. Initialization via the BMW Diagnostic Equipment The power windows can be initialized as part of an initialization procedure using the BMW diagnostic equipment. A detailed description of the initialization procedure is pro¬ vided in the BMW diagnosis system. 74 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Power Window - Input/Output i 76 E90 General Vehicle Electrical TE04-5699 Legend for Power Window - Circuit Diagram Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Driver’s door lock barrel 14 Car Access System 2 (CAS 2) 2 Footwell module (FRM) 15 Driver’s door switch cluster (SBFA 3 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, passenger’s side 16 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, driver’s side 4 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 17 Door contact 5 Power window switch, front passenger’s side K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 6 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, rear right KID.30 Terminal 30 7 Power window switch, rear right KID.58 g Terminal 58g 8 Power window switch, rear right LIN- Bus Local interconnected network bus 9 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, rear left FBD Remote control services 10 Remote control FBD ON Remote control services ON 11 Rear window antenna FBD OUT Remote control services OUT 12 Remote control receiver CAS- Bus K-Bus (K-Bus protocol 13 Comfort Access (CA) 77 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Power Window - Circuit Diagram 78 E90 General Vehicle Electrical TE04-5700 Legend for Power Window - Circuit Diagram Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Driver’s door lock barrel 14 Car Access System 2 (CAS 2) 2 Footwell module (FRM) 15 Driver’s door switch cluster (SBFA 3 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, passenger’s side 16 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, driver’s side 4 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 17 Door contact 5 Power window switch, front passenger’s side K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 6 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, rear right KID.30 Terminal 30 7 Power window switch, rear right KID.58 g Terminal 58g 8 Power window switch, rear right LIN- Bus Local interconnected network bus 9 Power window motor with indirect anti-trapping function, rear left FBD Remote control services 10 Remote control FBD ON Remote control services ON 11 Rear window antenna FBD OUT Remote control services OUT 12 Remote control receiver CAS- Bus K-Bus (K-Bus protocol 13 Comfort Access (CA) 79 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Classroom Exercise - Review Questions What module controls the relays for the driver and passenger windows? 2.

How is information from the driver’s door switch cluster transferred to the FRM? 80 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Slide/Tilt Sunroof The roof functions center receives signals from the other control units for the functions of the slide/tilt sunroof. The executing control unit is the roof functions center. On request, it drives the sunroof motor and simultaneously monitors the motor rotation. The following sunroof functions are integrated in the FZD: • Reading operating requests • Controlling sunroof motor - Anti-trapping protection - Blocking protection - Thermal protection • Panic mode • Load cut-out during start procedure • Terminal 58g • Initialization Control Modules for Sunroof Operation Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Car Access System2 (CAS2) 4 Roof Function Center (FZD) 2 Footwell Module (FRM) 5 Comfort Access (CA) 3 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 81 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Car Access System 2 (CAS2) The Car Access System 2 is the master control module for and issues the enable com¬ mand for opening and closing the sunroof. Footwell Module (FRM) The Footwell Module supplies input signals for the convenient opening/closing function and monitors the door contacts. Roof Function Center (FZD) The Roof Functions Center (FZD) controls and monitors the slide/tilt sunroof motor, plus it contains the relays to drive the sunroof motor. Comfort Access (CA) Comfort Access module (if installed) supplies input signals for the convenient opening/closing function. Operation The slide/tilt sunroof can be operated using the following controls: • Slide/tilt sunroof button • Remote control/identification transmitter • Driver's door lock barrel • Driver's/passenger's outer door handle with comfort access Slide/Tilt Sunroof Button The button for the slide/tilt sunroof is located in the roof functions center. When operated, the button sends a low signal to the electronic module that drives the sunroof motor cor¬ responding to the button selection. Remote Control/ID Transmitter The convenient opening/closing function is initiated by pressing the button on the remote control/identification transmitter. Driver's Door Lock Barrel The convenient opening/closing function is triggered by turning and holding the mechani¬ cal key or the spare key in the open/ close position in the driver's door lock barrel. Outer Door Handle The convenient closing function can be triggered by touching the sensitive area of the outer door handle. 82 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Slide/tilt Sunroof Motor The FZD activates the integrated relays when it receives the request for the slide/tilt sun¬ roof. The sunroof motor receives its voltage supply via the relays. The FZD monitors the relay contacts to ensure trouble-free control of the motor and therefore of the slide/tilt sunroof. In addition, the motor speed is calculated from the pulses of the Hall sensors and the direction of rotation of the corresponding motor. The distance the slide/tilt sunroof must cover during the opening or closing procedure is defined in the FZD. The sunroof motor generates a certain number of pulses within this range and therefore recognizes the end positions of the slide/tilt sunroof. Anti-trapping Protection The indirect anti-trapping function is determined on the basis of the power intake of the sunroof motor. The anti-trapping function is triggered if the closing force increases by 80 to 90 N and the sunroof is moved back by approx. 200 mm. Blocking Protection The FZD detects blocking if the pulses from the Hall sensor fail for more than 500 ms during the opening or closing procedure, which results in the power supply to the motor being switched off. Thermal Protection The thermal protection of the slide/tilt sunroof motor is calculated in the FZD. For this purpose there is a temperature sensor on the pc-board of the FZD which determines the ambient temperature. The FZD calculates the current motor temperature based on the operating time of the sunroof motor. The warm-up and cool-down phases are stored based on a temperature model in the FZD. The current temperature is entered in the memory before the FZD assumes sleep mode. When the vehicle is restarted, the motor temperature is adjusted to the ambient temperature. Panic Mode The slide/tilt sunroof is closed at maximum closing force in panic mode. Panic mode can be activated up to a vehicle speed of 16 km/h. Panic mode is triggered by pressing, releasing, again pressing and holding the sunroof button. The anti-trapping function is not active. Terminal 58g When the exterior lights are switched on, the FRM sends this information via the K-CAN. The FZD receives this information and adopts the set value for the instrument lighting. The LED in the button for the slide/tilt sunroof is activated, pulse width-modulated by the FZD. This achieves a constant brightness of the LED even under fluctuating system volt¬ age conditions. 83 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Control Button for Slide/Tilt Sunroof The button is located in the FZD and has 3 operating directions. (Open/Close/Tip-up) Slide/Tilt Sunroof Motor The motor of the slide/tilt sunroof features 2 Hall sensors. The Hall sensors are located on the motor shaft and are offset by 90 degrees with respect to each other. When the motor is running, this results in two offset Hall signals that are used to register the direction of rotation of the motor and for the anti-trapping protection function. Initialization Initialization of the slide/tilt sunroof involves the following procedures that are necessary to ensure complete operation of the slide/tilt sunroof: • Normalizing The normalizing procedure involves finding the mechanical end position at the limit stop of the "tilt" position. This position is stored and is used to calculate the remain¬ ing end positions of the slide/tilt sunroof. • Learning the characteristic The learning procedure registers the closing force necessary for each direction of the slide/tilt sunroof and stores this value. Complete functionality of the slide/tilt sunroof can be guaranteed only by full initialization. The initialization procedure can be initiated with the button for the slide/tilt sunroof or via the diagnosis system. Procedure Note: The control button must remain pressed during the entire initialization procedure. The initialization procedure must be repeated if the button is released. Initialization is performed as follows: • Press and hold sunroof button in sunroof "tilt" direction • After approx. 15 s, the initialization run starts in the "tilt" direction and stores the end position • The slide/tilt sunroof is closed after 5 s in the "tilt" position • The sunroof is then opened and the end position stored • The sunroof is then closed and the end position stored Time required for initialization approx. 120 s. 84 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Interruption in Power Supply An interruption in the power supply does not require renewed “normalization”. If the power supply is interrupted during initialization the entire procedure is invalid and the sys¬ tem must be re-initialized. Deleting the Initialization The initialization is deleted under the following circumstances: • Failure of the supply voltage during initialization • Hall sensor fault detected • Position implausible • Certain instructions in the diagnosis • Modified/changed vehicle coding • Coding data faulty 85 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Slide/Tilt Sunroof - Input/Output 86 E90 General Vehicle Electrical TE04-5701 Legend for Slide/Tilt Sunroof Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Button for Slide/Tilt Sunroof 11 Car Access System 2 (CAS2) 2 Roof Functions Center (FZD) 12 Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) 3 Slide/tilt Sunroof Motor 13 Comfort Access (CA) 4 Driver's door lock barrel K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 5 Footwell Module (FRM) Kl. 30 Terminal 30 6 Door Contact Kl. 58g Terminal 58g 7 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) CAS-Bus/K- Bus K-Bus Protocol 8 Identification Transmitter FBD Remote control services 9 Rear Window Antenna FBDON Remote control services ON 10 Remote Control Receiver FBD OUT Remote control services OUT 87 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Slide/Tilt Sunroof - Circuit Diagram C3? : >- Unh-j Lhh| Imp Y TAGI = 2x i o KI.30 88 E90 General Vehicle Electrical TEQ4-5702 Legend for Slide/Tilt Sunroof Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Button for Slide/Tilt Sunroof 11 Car Access System 2 (CAS2) 2 Roof Functions Center (FZD) 12 Electronic Outer Door Handle Module (TAGE) 3 Slide/tilt Sunroof Motor 13 Comfort Access (CA) 4 Driver's door lock barrel K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 5 Footwell Module (FRM) Kl. 30 Terminal 30 6 Door Contact Kl. 58g Terminal 58g 7 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) CAS-Bus/K- Bus K-Bus Protocol 8 Identification Transmitter FBD Remote control services 9 Rear Window Antenna FBDON Remote control services ON 10 Remote Control Receiver FBD OUT Remote control services OUT 89 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Classroom Exercise - Review Questions What module controls the operation of the slide/tilt sunroof motor? 2. What function does the FRM provide in the operation of the sunroof? 90 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Anti-Theft Alarm System (DWA) The Anti-Theft Alarm System in the E90 monitors the armed status of the complete vehicle. The doors, hood, trunk lid, emergency current siren, vehicle interior and the DWA/K-Bus are monitored. The control/operation of this system is distributed among several different control modules. Control Modules for System Operation Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Car Access System (CAS 2) 5 Ultrasonic Passenger Compartment Sensor (USIS) 2 Footwell Module (FRM) 6 Tilt Sensor / Alarm Siren (SINE) 3 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 7 Hood Switch 4 Roof Function Center (FZD) Roof Functions Center (FZD) The Roof Functions Center supplies terminal 30 and terminal 31 to the ultrasonic pas¬ senger compartment protection system (interior movement detector). The K-CAN and DWA bus connections for the ultrasonic passenger compartment protection system are looped through the FZD, which supplies ground to the DWA LED. The signal from the ultrasonic passenger compartment protection system is looped through for the DWA LED. Ultrasonic Passenger Compartment Sensor (USIS) Ultrasonic Passenger Compartment Protection System has been adopted from the E65 and adapted to the E90. The function of the anti-theft alarm system is integrated in the USIS. 91 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Footwell Module (FRM) The Footwell Module monitors the door contacts for the anti-theft alarm system. In the event of a change in the status, the FRM sends this information via the K-CAN, thus allowing the USIS to trigger the alarm. Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) The Junction Box Electronics Control Module monitors the trunk lid status in the central locking system. In the event of a change in the status, the JBE sends this information via the K-CAN, thus allowing the USIS to trigger the alarm. Car Access System 2 (CAS2) The Car Access System 2 monitors the status of the hood contact switch. If the hood contact switch sends a signal, the CAS2 sends the corresponding information via the K-CAN and the USIS triggers the alarm. Functions of the Anti-Theft Alarm System The anti-theft alarm system can be armed and disarmed at terminal 30. It is not possible to arm the anti-theft alarm system at terminal R or terminal 15. Arming the Anti-Theft Alarm System The anti-theft alarm system is armed from the driver's door lock barrel or by means of the remote control, together with the vehicle central arrest function. The following phases are implemented: • Directly after arming - Emergency current siren is armed and monitors its voltage supply - Anti-theft alarm system starts monitoring of the DWA bus - If the emergency current siren does not confirm the armed status, the DWA LED flashes to signal this status • 3 sec. after arming - Door contacts, trunk lid and hood contact switches are adopted in the alarm table 3 sec. after they have signaled the "closed" status Faulty contacts are entered in the information memory and interpreted as closed but not adopted in the alarm table. They are not included in the evaluation for alarm triggering. 92 E90 General Vehicle Electrical • 3 sec. after arming or closing the last door, trunk lid or hood - Initialization of the tilt alarm sensor starts (current position of the vehicle is deter¬ mined and stored as a reference). - Initialization of the ultrasonic interior motion sensor is started. As part of the initial¬ ization procedure, an ultrasonic field is built up in the vehicle interior and compared to the reference models. The sensitivity is then set corresponding to the positions of the windows and sunroof. Note: Opening the trunk lid during the initialization interrupts the proce¬ dure. Initialization is restarted after closing the trunk lid. • 20 sec. after closing the hood, trunk lid or last door - Following its initialization, the ultrasonic interior sensor is adopted in the alarm table. • 30 sec. after closing the hood, trunk lid or last door - Following its initialization, the tilt alarm sensor is adopted in the alarm table. The tilt alarm sensor is masked out if no feedback telegram is received from it within 60 sec. after arming Deactivating Tilt Alarm & USIS It is advisable to deactivate the tilt alarm sensor and USIS in the following situations: • Vehicle on ship transport • Vehicle on car transporter • Persons or animals in vehicle Deactivation takes place by resetting the central arrest within 10 sec. after the central arrest or convenient closing function. Feedback is provided by the DWA LED lighting for 2 seconds. Note: The tilt alarm sensor or ultrasonic passenger compartment sensor can be permanently deactivated by way of coding. Disarming the Anti-Theft Alarm System The anti-theft alarm system is disarmed by the "unlock" or "selective unlock" central locking functions. An audible and/or visual signal can be output in connection with disarming corresponding to the country-specific version. The DWA LED flashes for 5 min if an alarm was triggered during the time the anti-theft alarm system was armed. If the system is disarmed during the alarm, the action is not acknowledged but rather the alarm is terminated. 93 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Unlocking the Luggage Compartment The tilt alarm sensor and USIS are blanked out if the luggage compartment is unlocked and opened on an armed vehicle since loading the vehicle could bring about a new vehi¬ cle status. The initialization procedure for the USIS and tilt alarm sensor is resumed 3 sec after closing the trunk lid. Forced Disarming The anti-theft alarm system is disarmed when a person remains in the vehicle and sets the vehicle central arrest function via the remote control. The CAS2 recognizes the remote control if it is now inserted in its holder. The CAS2 sends the "locked" message via the K-CAN and the Anti-theft alarm system is disarmed. No Crosswise Operation If crosswise operation is not implemented (coded - vehicle profile), an alarm is triggered when the anti-theft alarm system is armed or disarmed. This applies to arming with the remote control and disarming via the lock barrel in the driver's door. The CAS2 detects the unlock status via the driver's door lock barrel, however, it does not unlock the vehicle. The anti-theft alarm system remains armed and triggers the alarm when the driver's door is opened. This function is coded in the CAS2. Feedback from Anti-Theft Alarm System When arming, the anti-theft alarm system provides feedback only when all doors, hood and trunk lid are closed. Visual feedback is provided via the hazard warning lights or the DWA LED. Feedback via DWA LED For the vehicle user, the DWA LED serves as an indicator showing the status of the Anti¬ theft alarm system. When flashing, the DWA LED is driven at a frequency of 0.5 Hz and the ON-interval is 60 ms. When blinking, the DWA LED is driven at a frequency of 2 Hz. DWA Status DWA LED Deactivated OFF Activated ON Armed but not all contacts closed Blinks for 10 s then continues flashing Ultrasonic Passenger Compartment/Tilt Alarm (USIS) Lights for 2 s then continues flashing Sensor OFF Alarm Triggered Blinks for 5 min then continues flashing Deactivation Goes off Deactivation After Alarm Blinks for 5 min or is interrupted when "remote control inserted" 94 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Feedback via Emergency Current Siren Audible feedback during the arming and disarming procedure for the vehicle user is coded country-specific. DWA Status Signal of Emergency Current Siren Activation Signal tone sound once Deactivation Signal tone sounds twice Arming with doors open or trunk lid open No signal tone, sounds only after closing the last door or trunk lid Feedback via Blinking Lights Visual feedback in response to arming and disarming via the blinking lights serves as an indicator for the vehicle user. The feedback is coded specific to the country version and/or model. DWA Status Signal of Hazard Warning Lights Activation Hazard warning lights flash once Deactivation Hazard warning lights flash twice Arming with doors open or trunk lid open The hazard warning lights do not flash until the last door or trunk lid has been locked Deactivation after alarm Hazard warning lights flash four times at double frequency Comfort Access It is possible to place the remote control in the luggage compartment when the vehicle is locked and the luggage compartment open. Upon closing the luggage compartment,however the trunk lid is automatically opened again in order to avoid locking the remote control in the luggage compartment. In addition to automatically opening the trunk lid, the Anti-theft alarm system outputs an audible warning. The warning comprises a triple double-tone of the emergency current siren. 95 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Alarm Trigger Door Contact Signals The status of the door contacts is evaluated by the FRM and signaled to the USIS. The status of the individual door contacts is adopted in the alarm table 3 sec. after the status signal "door closed" is received by USIS. This means that an alarm can be triggered via a door that is already closed even if another door contact is still open. The FRM evaluates the Hall sensors and makes this information available via the K-CAN to other bus users. Trunk Lid The status of the trunk lid contact switch is evaluated by the JBE and signalled to the USIS. Initially, signals from the trunk lid contact switch, USIS are blanked out in the alarm table when the trunk lid is unlocked while the anti-theft alarm system is armed. The signals are also blanked out when the trunk lid is unlocked with the remote control with the anti-theft alarm system armed. The trunk lid contact switch is re-adopted in the alarm table 3 s after closing the trunk lid. The initialization procedure for the ultrasonic passenger com¬ partment sensor and tilt alarm sensor is started if another door or the trunk lid is no longer open. Hood The status of the hood contact switch is evaluated by the CAS2 and signalled to the USIS. The status of the hood contact switch is adopted in the alarm table 3 sec. after the "hood closed" status message. If not engaged, the CAS2 interprets the hood contact switch as closed. Note: A hood contact switch that was not coded correctly in the CAS 2 produces an implausible signal. The implausible signal triggers a false alarm. Ultrasonic Passenger Compartment Sensor (USIS) The USIS senses and evaluated movements in the vehicle interior. The initialization procedure for the USIS is started 3 s after closing the hood, trunk lid and last door. The USIS is operational 20 s after initialization and is adopted in the alarm table. 96 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Tilt Alarm Sensor The tilt alarm sensor registers the vehicle rest position when it is armed and detects changes in the position, e.g. jacking up the vehicle. The tilt alarm sensor is integrated in the emergency current siren. The initialization procedure for the tilt alarm sensor is start¬ ed 3 s after closing the last door and trunk lid. The tilt alarm sensor is operational 30 s after initialization and is adopted in the alarm table. If no feedback telegram is received from the emergency current siren or tilt alarm sensor, this status is entered in the information memory of the anti-theft alarm system. The tilt alarm sensor is not adopted in the alarm table. If the tilt alarm sensor detects vehicle movement, a corresponding signal is sent to the USIS. The anti-theft alarm system decides whether the movement is sufficient to trigger an alarm. To ensure a false alarm is not triggered as the result of the vehicle rocking, the angle val¬ ues for the longitudinal and transverse axis are determined every 90 ms. An alarm is trig¬ gered only if the vehicle remains in an inclined position for longer than approx. 1.5 s. The alarm triggered by the tilt alarm sensor is stored in the ultrasonic passenger compart¬ ment protection system. Self-Monitoring of Emergency Current Siren A self-monitoring facility that is activated immediately after the anti-theft alarm system has been armed is implemented in the emergency current siren. The emergency current siren monitors its own power supply and detects overvoltage, undervoltage and line break (open-circuit). If the emergency current siren detects a tampering attempt, it sends a corresponding sig¬ nal to the USIS, irrespective of whether the DWA bus is affected and triggers a stand¬ alone alarm. Line Monitoring - DWA Bus The ultrasonic passenger compartment protection system and the emergency current siren are connected via the DWA bus. Immediately after arming the anti-theft alarm sys¬ tem, the DWA bus is monitored cyclically every 2 s. The anti-theft alarm system sends a line monitoring request on the DWA bus to the emergency current siren. The emergency current siren must respond within 100 ms. If no reply is received, the request for line monitoring is sent a further two times. If still no response is received, the Anti-theft alarm system triggers an alarm. The line monitoring facility is also active while the alarm is triggered. The anti-theft alarm system measures the system voltage. To avoid false alarms, the line monitoring facility is switched off at a system voltage below 9 V. This avoids false alarms. 97 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Alarm Output If an alarm criterion is fulfilled with the Anti-theft alarm system armed, the alarm is output (triggered) audibly and/or visually corresponding to the country-specific coding. Audible Alarm The emergency current siren receives a signal via the DWA bus when the anti-theft alarm system in the ultrasonic passenger compartment protection system triggers an alarm. The emergency current siren confirms receipt of the alarm request and triggers the audi¬ ble alarm. If the alarm request is not confirmed, the Anti-theft alarm system will repeat the alarm request up to eight times. Corresponding to the country-specific coding of the emergency current siren, an intermit¬ tent or interval tone is generated. The audible alarm is interrupted immediately and with¬ out feedback when the anti-theft alarm system is disarmed. Visual Alarm Depending on the country-specific version, the following components of the outer light¬ ing system can be activated for the visual alarm: • Direction indicator lights • Low beam headlight • High beam headlight When the anti-theft alarm system triggers an audible alarm, a visual alarm is simultane¬ ously triggered for 5 minutes. The anti-theft alarm systems sends the "flash" request via the K-CAN to the FRM. In turn, the FRM activates the components of the exterior light¬ ing system. The visual alarm cannot be extended by repeated alarm triggering. The visible alarm is terminated immediately and without feedback when the anti-theft alarm system is disarmed. Self- Contained/Integrated Alarm The emergency current cycle triggers the self contained/integrated alarm if its lines are tampered with. If the DWA bus is also cut through, the USIS detects this situation by the absence of the reply from the emergency current siren. In turn, USIS triggers the visual alarm. 98 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Panic Mode Panic mode represents an option for the vehicle user to draw attention by triggering alarm, e.g. when under threat from the outside or in the event of an accident. Panic mode is initiated by pressing the trunk lid button on the remote control, the button must be pressed for longer than 2 s irrespective of whether the anti-theft alarm system is armed or not. The alarm is terminated by pressing any button on the remote control. Panic mode is not stored. If panic mode is initiated, the line is monitored during the entire duration. The anti-theft alarm system sends the alarm request and expects the reply from the emergency current siren. On completion of panic mode, the anti-theft alarm system assumes the setting that was selected prior to panic mode. Alarm Termination An alarm triggered for test purposes or inadvertently can be terminated by disarming the anti-theft alarm system or by inserting the remote control in its holder. The alarm is termi¬ nated immediately. No audible or visual feedback is output. 99 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Anti-Theft Alarm System - Input/Output CAS 2 K-CAN T 100 E90 General Vehicle Electrical T£04-5703 Legend for Anti-Theft Alarm System Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Driver's Door Lock Barrel 17 Door Contact, Driver's Door 2 Footwell Module (FRM) 18 Passenger's Door Contact, Left Rear and Right Door 3 Direction Indicator Repeater, Right 19 Emergency Current Siren with Integrated Tilt Alarm Sensor 4 Headlight, Right 20 Roof Functions Center (FZD) 5 Headlight, Left 21 Car Access System 2 (CAS2) 6 Direction Indicator Repeater, left 22 Hood Contact Switch 7 Tail Light, Right 23 Comfort Access (CA) 8 Tail Light, Left DWA-Bus DWA-bus (K-bus protocol) 9 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) CAS-Bus K-bus (K-bus protocol) 10 Button, Trunk Lid, Exterior K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 11 Central Locking, Trunk Lid Kl. 30 Terminal 30 12 Ultrasonic Passenger Compartment Protection (USIS) Kl. 31 Terminal 31 13 Anti-Theft Alarm System DWA-LED FBD Remote Control Services 14 Identification Transmitter FBD ON Remote Control Services ON 15 Rear Window Antenna FBD OUT Remote Control Services OUT 16 Remote Control Receiver 101 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Anti-Theft Alarm System - Circuit Diagram ran 11 x ZD ^ v _ J 1 UK o FBD ON 141 13 1 V vc) F8D OUT I Kl. 30 o 101 / ( 12 ) V If!

Since its initial introduction the system has been revised and was recently introduced on the E87 (available in Europe) plus will be available with the E90 as well. The purpose of feature is to electrically lock and unlock the steering column. Advantages of the ELV • Remote control “Key” similar to that used on the E65, in the form of a "bitless" key • An electronic fault and a mechanical fault must occur simultaneously • No steering wheel lock mechanism in knee impact area • The E90 can also be equipped with the Comfort Access option Control Modules for ELV 5 1 j j j j j j j j j j j m P J Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Car Access System (CAS 2) 3 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 2 Dynamic Stability Control Module (DSC) 4 Electric Steering Lock (ELV) Car Access System 2 (CAS2) The CAS functions as the master controller and monitors the various driving or standstill situations of the vehicle, using speed sensor data, and is therefore also the control mod¬ ule that triggers/enables the unlocking (release) or locking action in the ELV. 104 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) The DSC module provides information pertaining to the wheel speed sensors to the CAS2 (DSC via PT-CAN - JBE via K-CAN - CAS2 ) A redundant speed sensor signal is also provided directly to CAS2 by way of a direct con¬ nection from the DSC module to CAS2. Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) The JBE is is the gateway module for transmitting the data from the DSC module to the CAS2. Electric Steering Lock (ELV) The ELV module is responsible for activating the mechanical components that lock and unlock the steering column. Operation of ELV Safety Concept A special safety concept is necessary in view of the special safety reguirements of the system. The safety concept must ensure that the steering cannot be locked while dri¬ ving. As the master control module, the CAS2 evaluates all input signals, checks them and issues the enable signal to the ELV control module for the lock and unlock functions. The control unit of the electric steering lock system is therefore the executing component in the safety concept. Electronic Function The CAS2 monitors the various driving or standstill situations of the vehicle (signal from DSC) and is also the control module that triggers/enables the unlocking or locking action by supplying power and ground to the ELV. CAS2 changes the polarity signal provided to the ELV depending if the steering is to be locked or unlocked. When CAS2 supplies a signal to the ELV a ground connection is applied first then power, the opposite occurs when the signal is removed. No power is applied to the ELV when the vehicle is not moving. 105 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Unlocking the Steering The following procedure is necessary to unlock the steering: 1. Detection of a valid remote control/ID transmitter 2. Enable (release) of the unlock function 3. Unlocking the steering 4. Feedback 5. Switching off ELV module Valid Remote Control On vehicles equipped with the CAS2, the remote control must be inserted in its holder in order to check whether the remote control is valid for this vehicle. Note: On vehicles equipped with the Comfort Access system, the ID transmitter must be located in the vehicle interior in order to check whether the ID transmitter is valid for this vehicle. Enable (release) of the Unlock Function The power supply for the ELV is switched on after successfully checking the electronic vehicle immobilizer and receiving start authorization. Based on the status of the Hall sen¬ sor, the ELV module checks whether the steering is locked or unlocked. The status is sent via the CAS/K-bus to the CAS2. The enable signal is issued after evaluating the following input signals: • Vehicle speed signal • Terminal status • Hall sensor ELV. Unlocking the Steering The ELV module starts the unlocking procedure and briefly activates the motor three times to move the lock pin in the unlock direction. The safety lever locks mechanically into the unlocked position to secure the unlocked steering column. The steering is now unlocked and successful completion of the unlock procedure is detected by the status of the Hall sensor. The steering wheel must be turned back and forth if this is not the case. The motor is again driven three times. A Hall sensor registers the end position of the secured lock pin. The ELV module evalu¬ ates the Hall sensor and stops motor operation. 106 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Feedback The ELV module sends the "unlocked and secured" status to the CAS2, which stores the status of the ELV. Switching off the ELV control module The final item of information the CAS2 receives is the request to switch off the ELV. On receiving this request, the CAS2 switches off the power supply. Locking the Steering The following procedure is necessary to lock the steering: 1. Lock request to the CAS2 2. ELV module switched on 3. Locking the steering 4. Feedback 5. Switching off ELV control module Lock Request The CAS2 initiates the steering locking procedure when the remote control is removed from its holder. The following conditions must apply in order to lock the steering: • Vehicle speed < 1 km/h. The CAS2 receives this signal directly and redundant via the K-CAN from the DSC module. • Terminal 15 OFF • ELV Hall sensor status • Remote control/ID transmitter removed from plug-in slot • Central locking secured (terminal 0). Note: In connection with the Comfort Access system, the lock function is initiated by detecting terminal 0. ELV Control Module Switched on The CAS2 switches on the ELV module. The Hall sensor of the electric steering lock is then checked along with the “lock” conditions. On successful completion of the check, the CAS2 issues the enable signal to lock the steering. 107 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Locking the Steering The ELV module activates a motor, which places a pretension on the “locking spring". The locking pin and safety lever are released so that the locking pin locks the steering. The ELV module detects the "locked and secured" position of the locking pin based on the Hall sensor. Feedback The ELV module detects the "locked and secured" position of the locking pin based on the Hall sensor. This status is sent to the CAS2 which stores the status of the ELV. Switching off the ELV control module The CAS2 receives the reguest to shut down with the last telegram from the ELV module. 108 E90 General Vehicle Electrical Electric Steering Lock (ELV) - Circuit Diagram sV (M> —1— X 1 -J Index Explanation Index Explanation 1 Wheel Speed Sensors 10 Safety Concept 2 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 11 Holder 3 Junction Box Electronics Control Module (JBE) 12 START/STOP Button 4 Car Access System 2 (CAS2) DFAH Sim Redundant Speed Signal 5 Electric Steering Lock (ELV) K-CAN Bodyshell CAN 6 ELV Motor PT-CAN Powertrain CAN 7 Hall Sensor ELV CAS-Bus K-Bus based on K-bus protocol 8 Power Stage for Power Supply + Kl. 15 Terminal 15 9 Power Stage 109 E90 General Vehicle Electrical ELV Mechanism A locking lever with its position monitored by a sensor and a locking pin are the main components of the mechanical part designed to lock or unlock the steering column at the correct moment. The entire internal kinematic structure is designed such that a mechani¬ cal lock (locking lever) keeps the unlocked locking pin in position when no power is applied to the ELV.
