01 – Self-diagnosis, electrical checks

1 Central locking, radio remote control

1.1 General
The central locking opens and closes the doors, luggage com‐
partment and fuel tank flap. If the airbags are triggered in the
event of an accident, all the doors are automatically unlocked.
Additional safety settings can provide enhanced comfort as an
option: Automatic locking, automatic luggage compartment lock‐
ing or safety central locking. Then all the doors and the luggage
compartment are automatically closed if the vehicle is being driv‐
en faster than about 15 km/h. The luggage compartment locks
when the speed exceeds 5 km/h and the safety central locking
releases only the driver's door on first opening. Only on the sec‐
ond opening do the front passenger door and the rear lid open.
Pressing the Open button on the remote control key once unlocks
the vehicle's doors. The Multimedia Interface (MMI) or the radio
unit as appropriate indicate which doors are being unlocked by
the central locking. Pressing the button twice unlocks all the ve‐
hicle doors and the rear lid regardless of the settings.
Unlocking of the vehicle is indicated by the turn signal indicators
flashing twice. If no door or the luggage compartment lid is
opened within 60 seconds of the vehicle being unlocked, the ve‐
hicle automatically locks again. This function prevents unintended
permanent unlocking of the vehicle.
Term Definition
MMI - Multi Me‐ The MMI (Multi Media Interface) is an integrated operating concept providing use-friendly
dia Interface logical and intuitive operation of vehicle systems and infotainment components. The MMI
essentially comprises two elements: the MMI terminal in the centre console and the MMI
display, optionally monochrome or colour, built-in to the dash panel.

1.3 Central locking radio remote control

function

1.3.1 General
Bidirectional data exchange between the remote control key and
the convenience system central control unit -J393- is routed via
the central locking and anti-theft alarm aerial -R47- . This enables
the status of the central locking to be transmitted to the key.
If a button is pressed outside of the key's radio range, the LED
built-in to the key indicates the locking status of the vehicle. The
locking status brought about with the key in question the last time
the central locking was operated is always indicated. If the LED
does not light up, the remote control key battery is not in good
working order.
If the vehicle has been opened or locked by a second key in the
meantime, the locking status in the first key does not change. The
radio frequency of the radio remote control is 315 MHz, 433 MHz
or 868 MHz, depending on variant. The specific radio frequency
is optimised for data transfer between the vehicle key and the
control unit. As this frequency is permitted only for very short
transmission pulses, the otherwise disturbing interference from
continuous radio transmitters such as baby monitoring equip‐
ment, wireless headphone etc. is no longer a problem.

2 Convenience opening/closing

2.1 General
On the MMI or on the radio unit as appropriate you can set wheth‐
er the windows and the panorama roof can be opened by the
convenience opening function.
Convenience opening/closing is also referred to as central open‐
ing and closing.
Convenience operation enables complete opening or closing of
the electric windows and of the panorama roof, if fitted.

Note

In the USA and Canada the convenience opening/closing function

is only possible by way of the driver's door lock, for product liability
reasons.

2.3 Convenience opening/closing function

2.3.1 General
When unlocking and locking the vehicle on the driver or passen‐
ger side, the windows in the doors can be opened or closed at the
same time. All electric windows (including the panorama roof)
open or close as appropriate when the Open or Close button on
the radio remote control is held down.
When the button is released the opening or closing operation
stops immediately. All the windows also respond in the way out‐
lined above when the key is turned in the door lock to the Unlock
position and held there. Likewise, all the windows are closed
when the key is turned in the door lock to the Lock position and
held there. Again, when released the operation is interrupted.
Radio remote control offers a high degree of comfort for opening
and locking a vehicle. It can be used to unlock and lock the vehicle
centrally (doors, fuel tank flap and luggage compartment lid) from
a distance. This function, built-in to the ignition key, is a great
practical aid particularly at night (the interior lighting is automati‐
cally activated on unlocking) and in bad weather.

2.3.2 Preconditions:
♦ Terminal 15 off and S-contact off
♦ Enable signal from convenience system central control unit -
J393- received by door control units
♦ Enable signal from convenience system central control unit -
J393- received by sun roof control unit -J245 -
♦ A lock location (driver's door lock, radio remote control ...) op‐
erated for longer than 2 seconds
♦ No window in thermal protection mode
♦ All windows standardised
♦ No high or low voltage

1 - Central locking and anti-

theft alarm system aerial -R47-
2 - Convenience system cen‐
tral control unit -J393-
3 - Authorisation to open/close
doors
4 - Driver door control unit -
J386-
5 - Front passenger door con‐
trol unit -J387-

As the central locking master, the convenience system central

control unit -J393- controls the central locking system. The data
transmitted by the vehicle key wirelessly to the central locking and
anti-theft alarm aerial -R47- is forwarded to the convenience sys‐
tem central control unit -J393- , which evaluates it and then sends
the command to open or close the doors as appropriate to the
door control units over the convenience system CAN. The win‐
dows and the panorama roof open/close when the Open/Close
command is applied for longer than 2 seconds.

2.3.4 Functional principle

Central opening
This operation is executed by way of one of the following lock
points on the vehicle:
♦ Driver's door lock
♦ Radio remote control
In response to an Open command sustained for longer than 2
seconds the windows open at differing delays for as long as the
lock point in question is operated. They are stopped by blocking
shut-off or soft stop after a maximum of 20 seconds however.
If the window is already fully down, no further activation is per‐
mitted.

2. Convenience opening/closing 7
 Audi A5 Coupé 2008 ➤
System description - Windows and doors - Edition 05.2007

In response to an Open command sustained for longer than 2

seconds, a panorama roof, if fitted, tilts open for as long as the
lock point in question is operated. The panorama roof stops when
it has fully tilted, and is no longer activated by a renewed con‐
venience opening command.
Central closing
This operation is executed by way of one of the following lock
points on the vehicle:
♦ Driver's door lock
♦ Radio remote control
In response to a Close command sustained for longer than 2 sec‐
onds the windows close at differing delays for as long as the lock
point in question is operated. They are stopped by blocking shut-
off after a maximum of 20 seconds however.
If the window is already fully up, it is no longer activated in re‐
sponse to a Close command.
When the excess-force limiter is activated a window stops its
movement and opens a minimum of 50 mm. The close operation
is only restarted when the function is selected again.
In response to an convenience closing command sustained for
longer than 2 seconds, a panorama roof, if fitted, closes for as
long as the lock point in question is operated. The panorama roof
stops when it has fully closed, and is no longer activated by a
renewed convenience closing command. When the closing force
limiter is activated the panorama roof stops its movement and
reopens (when tilting fully open). The close operation is only re‐
started when the function is selected again.

2.4 Notes for service

2.4.1 Coding
The coding in the convenience system central control unit -J393
- can only be performed using Software Version Management
(SVM).

2.4.2 General
For convenience opening/closing, two settings are of importance
in the coding of the convenience system central control unit -
J393- :
♦ Convenience function via remote active /not active
♦ Panorama roof fitted/ not fitted
If the convenience function via remote was not activated in the
coding of the convenience system central control unit -J393- , the
windows/panorama roof cannot be closed or opened with the ra‐
dio remote control.
Adaptions for convenience operation by radio remote control for
the convenience system central control unit -J393- are then also
irrelevant. In the Multimedia Interface (MMI) or on the radio unit
as appropriate, no convenience opening settings can be made.
To open and close a fitted panorama roof electrically, it must be
coded as fitted in the convenience system central control unit -
J393- . If a fitted panorama roof is not coded, adaptions for it in
the convenience system central control unit -J393- are not of use.
Likewise, no panorama roof settings can be made on the Multi‐
media Interface (MMI) or radio unit.

System description - Windows and doors - Edition 05.2007

The country variant of the dash panel insert determines the cod‐
ing options of the convenience system central control unit -J393- .
The parameters to set the convenience functions are correct by
default, and do not normally need to be changed. The settings for
convenience functions via remote only become active when the
convenience function has been activated by the coding.
The functions for setting the vehicle convenience systems can be
selected on the central "Car" menu.
Under the "Windows" menu item the following can be set:
♦ Front windows convenience opening
♦ Rear windows convenience opening
♦ Panorama roof opening

Note

The settings made are stored only for the current key in use.

If convenience opening/closing via the remote control key is not

working at all, or only at short range, the cause might be:
♦ Remote control battery flat

3 Raising/lowering windows

3.1 General
The window lifter switches are executed with voltage-coded dou‐
ble push and pull buttons. The double push and pull function
enables manual and automatic window operation. By way of the
driver's door window lifter operating unit -E512- the driver can
operate all the windows.
The local window lifter switches fitted in the doors can only oper‐
ate the corresponding window. The driver's door control unit -
J386- reads in the switches of the driver's door window lifter
operating unit -E512- and transmits the information over CAN to
the front passenger door control unit -J387- .

3.2 Components involved

Note

This function must be activated or deactivated in the coding of the

door control units.

Automatic operation is only possible with standardised window

lifters. Automatic operation can be started and executed both by
the local window lifter switches in the doors and by the driver's
door window lifter operating unit -E512- . The second stage of the
window lifter button must be held down for longer than one second
for this. Automatic operation is cancelled when the window lifter
is operated from any operation point in any direction.

window cannot be operated via the driver's door window lifter op‐
erating unit -E512- or the relevant local window lifter switch, as
the convenience system central control unit -J393- is unable to
send the enable signal for the window lifters.

Note

If the CAN communication of a door control unit fails, diagnosis

is no longer possible. The status of the CAN communication of
the door control unit can be checked in the data bus diagnostic
interface -J533- .

Standardisation
In order to implement automatic operation, soft run-in, soft stop
and the excess-force limiter, a standardisation (adaption) run de‐
termines the number of motor revolutions from the bottom to top
end stops.
From outside by "Central closing":
After "central closing" standardisation is completed following
blocking shut-off of the window at its upper stop limit.
From inside at "terminal 15 on":
♦ After installing the motor, the door control unit and attached
wiring, first turn the ignition on and then off again.
♦ Pressing the window lifter switch in the Close direction causes
the window to move up to its limit stop. Then release the win‐
dow lifter button briefly and press it again immediately after‐
wards and hold it down for about two seconds.

♦ The window lifter is now in the basic setting and the opening/
closing function (window lifter automatic operation mode) is
activated.
Excess-force limiter

Note

This function is coded by default in the door control units and for
safety reasons should not be changed.

The excess-force limiter is activated when the regular closing op‐

eration is impaired. In this, the counterforce of the window acting
on an object must not exceed 70 N (at 10 N/mm) or 100 N (at 65
N/mm) under all operating conditions.
The excess-force limiter is active in the range 4mm below the
upper stop limit. When it is activated, the window reverses down
to the 200 mm limit.
Thermal protection
When the internal temperature threshold of the window lifter mo‐
tor is exceeded, any further raising of the windows is suppressed
for 30 seconds.
Top soft run-in
The "top soft run-in" function means the window runs gently into
the top seal, with the closing forces limited to the amount actually
needed (closing force reduction function). The function is active
after standardisation of the window.
Bottom soft stop
The "bottom soft stop" function involves stopping the window lifter
n revolutions before the bottom stop limit. The function is active
after standardisation of the window.
Reversal
Window reversal means changing direction from closing to open‐
ing, and opening the window about 200 mm.
