Contr ol module

The control module is located under the floor mat on the left side under the front seat. Siren

The extra horn (siren) is mounted behind the left rear part of the wing liner in the left front wheel housing. Depending on the requirements in different countries, only the extra horn is used or it is used together with the standard horn behind the grille. Door s w itches

The ICE control module informs the theft alarm control module when a door is open/closed. Hood s w itch

The hood switch is located by the main fuse box in the engine compartment. The switch closes at the slightest opening of the hood. Micros w itch, tailgate

For monitoring the luggage compartment, the switch for the luggage compartment lighting is used. Starter

relay

When the alarm is activated, an opening relay built into the control module draws power for approximately 30 minutes. This means that the start relay for the starter motor does not receive any operating current. If a new alarm should be activated within the 30 minutes, a new time block period is started. Micros w itch, driver door

Activation and deactivation of the alarm is accomplished using a microswitch by the lock cylinder in the driver door. The microswitch is also used for the central locking system. LED

The alarm is activated when the key is turned clockwise 90 °, that is, 45 ° past the lock position, so called theft alarm position. Important

Pull out the key from the theft alarm position in order to achieve full function.

When unlocking, the key is turned 90° counter-clockwise from the neutral position. When the alarm has been activated, the arming of the alarm is delayed for 10 seconds (delay period). Within these 10 seconds, doors, hood and tailgate can be opened without tripping the alarm. During the delay period (10 seconds), the LED glows steady and then switches to flashing with a frequency of 1 flash/2 seconds. If a door, the hood or tailgate is opened during the delay period, the steady glow changes to flashing with a frequency of 1 flash/second.

It is possible to open the boot lid with the alarm activated without tripping the alarm. The boot lid monitoring function is then removed from the alarm. Unlocking and locking of the boot lid must be performed as follows in order to not trip the alarm.

•

Turn the key to the unlocked position.

•

Open the boot lid.

•

Turn the key back to neutral position.

•

Remove the key. If the boot lid is opened with the key during the delay period, the LED flashes with a frequency of 1 flash/second for 10 seconds. The alarm is activated following the delay period, but the boot lid is excluded from the monitoring function. When the boot lid is closed, a new delay period starts, but only for the boot lid. The LED glows steady. The alarm is still activated for all other doors and the hood.

The acoustic alarm comes from the siren (and eventually the horn). The acoustic signal can be programmed according to requirements and legal standards in different countries. Programming is accomplished with ISAT. Optical alarm

The optical alarm consists of all direction indicators. The light signal can be coded according to requirements and legal standards in different countries. Coding is accomplished with ISAT. Repea t alar m

If a new alarm signal is received at the control module connection after the end of the acoustic alarm, the acoustic and optical alarm will be tripped again. Protec tion against false ala

rm s

1994 R900

The activated alarm is protected against false alarms according to the following:

•

Knocks to the car.

•

Vibration of the car.

•

Wind load (external pressure waves).

•

Malfunction of a direction indicator bulb.

•

Automatic on-off switching of components using power.

•

External noise.

•

Changes in external light intensity.

Funct ional safety and diagnosis

1994 R900

14



1. When the acoustic alarm is tripped and sounds off, the control module function must not be disrupted. 2. The control module performs a self-diagnosis each time the alarm is ac tivated. 3.

If a malfunction is detected, the LED flashes with a frequency of 1 flash/second during the delay period. The function of the alarm is maintained as much as it is possible.

If the battery voltage drops, for example, when disconnecting the battery or the battery is discharged, the alarm is no longer activated. When the voltage returns to normal, the alarm resumes the activated mode as before being disconnected. Short -circ uit pr otection for direction indicators

1994 R900

17



The theft alarm control module can detect any short-circuits in any direction indicator circuit. In case of a short-circuit, only the acoustic alarm signal will function and the direction indicator signals are not tripped. This is so the fuse that supplies the theft alarm will not malfunction, which would mean that the theft alarm would be deactivated. The acoustic signal maintains normal function.

When the alarm is set off, this is made apparent with sound by the alarm horn sounding and/or light by all the direction indicators flashing. 3 circuit breaking

The control module also has a 3 circuit breaking function that is activated when the alarm is set off. This prevents the engine being started by immobilizing the car's starter function, fuel supply and engine control system. Operation

Operation (arming and disarming) of the theft alarm is by remote control. Alarm status

There is an LED in the car to show the status of the alarm. This flashes with different frequencies or is lit continuously depending on the situation. Programm

Control m

Technicaldescription-C ontrolmodule

odule

The control module is located under the left-hand front seat. This is connected to all the input components of the theft alarm via a 25 pin connector. The main function of the electronic control module is to check the situation of the sensors when the alarm is armed and to set off the alarm with the horn and/or direction indicators and prevent starting with 3 circuit breaking in case of a break-in.

In order to achieve this, there is a central processing unit in the electronic control module, in which a control program is stored in PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory). As different markets have special requirements for the operation of the theft alarm, the theft alarm can be programmed to adapt it to the particular market. In addition, there are several possibilities when programming to adapt the function to the requirements of the customer. Programming is carried out using the ISAT scan tool and the information is stored in EEPROM (Electrically Erasable PROM). Earlier programming is erased when data is programmed. Stored programming does not disappear if the voltage is cut.

Remot e c ontr ol

Re m ote control

The theft alarm is operated (armed/disarmed) using a remote control. For remote control of the theft alarm, there is an antenna fitted in the cable assembly next to the alarm control module under the left-hand front seat. This is connected to the control module (pin 1 for signal and pin 14 for ground). Point the remote control at the antenna. The range is normally about 8 meters, but can be significantly further in the favorable conditions. Due to legal requirements, the remote control for JA is equipped with a weaker transmitter for shorter range. The remote control is of the RF (Radio Frequency) type. The remote control transmits a 64 bit code. This is compared with a list of valid codes (max 4) in the control module. If the code is valid, the control module acts on the command. There are tw

The flash/light confirmation for this function is programmable. 2. The car's theft alarm is then armed and all doors are locked by the central locking system which has received a signal from the alarm control module (pin 17). The tailgate is also armed if it is closed. 3. When the alarm is armed, the LED lights continuously for 10 seconds. During this so-called delay period, the alarm is not armed and passenger doors (not the driver door), tailgate or hood may be open without the alarm being set off. After the delay period, the LED goes from a continuous light to flashing once every two seconds to indicate that the alarm is armed. 4. If the driver do or is opened during the delay period, the alarm is a utomatically disarmed. If the driver door is open or if the ignition is on, it is not possible to lock/unlock the car and arm/disarm the alarm using the remote control.

Remot e c ontr ol

Re m ote control

The anti-theft alarm is operated by means of a remote control unit, except the anti-theft alarm for US/CA which can also be operated by means of the car key. For remote control, an antenna is mounted in the wiring harness next to the theft alarm control module under the left-hand front seat. This is connected to the control module (pin 1/signal and pin 14/ground). Point the remote control unit at the aerial, the normal range is about 8 m but under favourable conditions may be much longer. (On account of legal requirements, the remote control unit for JA is equipped with a weaker transmitter so that it will have a shorter range.) The remote control unit is of RF (Radio Frequency) type. The remote control unit transmits an identification code (each remote control unit has its own code) and a "rolling code" which changes every time the button is pressed. If the code is valid the electronic control module executes the command. There are tw
