SUBJECT:
DIS Schematic Information
MODEL:
ALL
Situation:
The following information is for the purpose of compiling information regarding the use of the DIS Documents section. This SIB will be updated as
new items/software changes or additions are developed.
The Documents section of the DIS contains wiring schematics and related information such as pin assignments and component locations similar to
those found in printed ETMs for other models. Accessing the various components of DIS schematics is obviously different from printed versions and
is the subject of this IDC.
Document Abbreviations
381
The following document abbreviations can be found in the header of the document window or section boxes (1).
BS - block diagrams
EO - component locations
FB - functional descriptions
FP - functional test instructions
HI - help information
MM - measuring equipment
PB - pin assignments
SO - set points
SP - schematic with wire sizes, colors,
ST - connector view
Colored Frames and Colored Window Headers
Colored frames:
Colored frames within documents are active fields. The color of the frame changes when a field is selected. A displayed schematic will have the
colored frames in green. When a frame is selected for a closer view for example going from general module to power windows, the power windows
frame will turn yellow. The corresponding documents, measurements (if available) or test functions (if available) can be requested for the selected
component by pressing either the "Documents", "Measurement System" or "Test Schedule" buttons.
Colored Window Headers
Description headers (1) above the opened document window can also be selected. As with the colored frames when selected they go from green to
382
yellow. The same conditions for colored frames applies to window headers. In addition, the entire document with vehicle description can be printed.
Refer to "Printing Documents "for details.
Printed Documents
While in any screen if "Print" then "shield" is selected (2).
A copy of the screen complete with borders will be printed. This printing takes extra time and does not print the vehicle information or complete
schematics. For a more useful schematic printout follow the instructions below.
1. Highlight the header of the window that you wish to print. The header will turn yellow.
2. Select "Print"
3. Select "Document"
This will print a more useful schematic that will not have the borders but will contain:
1. Date
2. Time
3. Page number (this style of printout may contain multiple pages for entire schematics)
4. Description (example: Drivers side power window)
Vehicle information (example: 5 E39/540iA M62 Lim/USA LHD/1997)
The style of the schematic printed out will be closer in design to printed ETMs.
383
If you have selected a module with more complex peripherals such as the general module, the schematic may not contain printed descriptions of the
peripherals. To view a description of the pin assignments complete with:
1. Pin number
2. Pin Type
3. Description of signal type
4. Connection/measurement notes
Select the header on top of the schematic (turns yellow) then:
1. Select "Document"
2. Select the "PB" description on the "Right page" in this example it was "A1 General Module PB"
3. Select "Display"
Now the general module schematic will be on the left page and the pin assignments.will be on the right. The pin assignment section (PB) and the
schematic (SP) can both be printed as described at the beginning of this section. This will allow you to have a complete layout of the desired
component and a description of the pin assignments.
You may also print a copy of the diagnosis report while in the document mode (3). The diagnosis report: will contain:
1. Date/Time
2. Retailer information
3. DIS software installed
384
4. Vehicle information
5. Quick test results
6. Operations performed in order
Moving About the Schematic
With the schematic of a component or system displayed you can find a connector location by:
1. Select the connector (turns yellow)
2. Select "Document"
3. Select the connector # (EO) on the "Right Page"
4. Select "Display"
With the schematic of a component or system displayed you can find the connector view by:
1. Select the connector (turns yellow)
2. Select "Document"
3. Select the connector # (ST) on the "Right Page"
4. Select "Display"
Note:
Connector location and view may be viewed at the same time by selecting EO and ST at the document page
Moving from a major component such as the general module (to use an example give above) to a sub-component such as the power window circuit is
an easy process.
385
1. Highlight the desired power window circuit (turns yellow)
2. Select "document"
3. Select "component" (SP) on "Left Page" (S07 98 U01 # 4)
4. Select "Display"
The schematic of the desired sub-component will now be displayed.
Further movements to other sub-components may be performed as described above. If you wish to back up one schematic or all the way to the first
schematic (general module in the example) simply:
Select the "-->" in a box on the left bottom side of the schematic. You will go back one screen for each selection of the "-->" (1).
