Conn./Plug/Pin Pin Information Test Value Comments
N54      
1 Main ground to W19 Approx. 0 Ohms to ground  
2 Sensor ground signal output Approx. 0 Ohms to ground  
2 Unlock command SN1 signal ouput, generated from RCL system, to activate PSE module Use remote control
Lock vehicle 12 VDC
Unlock vehicle < 1 VDC
Initialized with IR transmitter or manually with key
4 Lock command SN2 signal output, generated from RCL system, to activate PSE module Use remote control
Unlock vehicle 12 VDC
Lock vehicle < 1 VDC
Initialized with IR transmitter or manually with key
5 Vehicle locking confirmation signal output Lock vehicle whether manually or with IR transmitter, red indicator flashes. Use scope 12 Vpp when confirmation occurs  
6 Vehicle unlocking confirmation signal output Unlock vehicle whether manually or with IR transmitter, green indicator flashes. Use scope 12 Vpp when confirmation occurs  
7 Interior rear view mirror infrared sensor signal input Using IR transmitter, lock vehicle, keep button depressed until locking process is finished, monitor voltage. Release button, voltage will raise approx. 0.3 - 1.0 VDC  
8 Unlock command driver side / trunk signal input Disconnect A37 plugs,
in rest position > 20 kOhms
in unlock mode <40 Ohms
Initialized from
S86/1 and S88/2
9 Circuit 15 main power input Ignition on 12 VDC Feed from F1f23 via Z3/15
10 Lock command driver side / trunk signal input Disconnect A37 plugs,
in rest position > 20 kOhms
in unlock mode <60 Ohms
Initialized from
S86/1 and S88/2
11 RCL receiver voltage supply output 5 VDC at all times  
12 Circuit 30 main power input 12 VDC at all times Feed from F4f15
13-18 Pins not used    
H CAN-Bus (high side). High speed data transfer bus input and output, shares data with other ECMs. No reliable test. Check continuity to other ECMs.
Approx. 5 VAC when data is on bus.
Also other ECMs can cause CAN-Bus DTCs.
L CAN-Bus (low side). High speed data transfer bus input and output, shares data with other ECMs. Disconnect plug 2 from N54. Approx. 120 Ohms across pins H and L HHT is also used for
CAN diagnosis
Note System also supports DAS function
DAS causes fuel injection interruption if not a legal unlock procedure is recognized.
Since RCL and engine ECM's both have an interactive ID code, swapping modules from other vehicles is not possible.
HHT is also used for diagnosis.
