ABOUT SECTION 8C FOR VEHICLES WITH INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS



A new system of integrated electronics was introduced on production in early 2001 at VIN

AAAAAA. The principal change involved the introduction of a central control unit (CCU) that

took over a number of functions within the vehicle electrical system, reducing the number of

separate control modules. For example there is no longer a separate direction indicator relay

or alarm ECU or rear door motion locking (IDDS) ECU. The CCU is located behind the

detachable glove box. The fuse box for those circuits that are controlled by the central

control unit (CCU) is incorporated into the CCU itself. The fuses for the remaining circuits not

controlled by the CCU are in a small separate fuse box immediately above the CCU. A new

remote locking and alarm capable key fob with two buttons was introduced. There is also a

‘touch key’ provided that overrides the immobiliser and optional alarm (where fitted).

The complete list of circuits controlled by the new central control unit is as follows.

1.Flasher and hazard warning

2.Rear fog lamp control

3.Front fog lamp control

4.Front screen wiper and washer system

5.Rear screen wiper and washer system

6.Central door locking system

7.Front windows

8.Courtesy lamp delay

9.Speed transducer conversion for speedometer & taximeter

10.Heated rear screen timer

11.Immobiliser system

12. Alarm

13.Motion locking on rear passenger doors

14.Intercom communication system

15.Wheelchair seatbelt alarm

16.Lights on warning

Note: At the time of writing (January 2001) these changes are only effective on Right Hand

Drive vehicles. Left Hand Drive vehicles built after VIN AAAAAA will be to the earlier

specification. Dealers should always refer to Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) for details of

up-to-date changes to the product.
