GENERAL OPERATION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (10AS ALARM SYSTEM)
INTRODUCTION
The 10AS Alarm system was fitted as standard equipment on Model Year 96 onwards
across a number of Land Rover vehicles. The system consists of a number of components as follows :
ECU Alarm Unit
Plip Key
Passive Immobiliser Coil (Optional)
Alarm sensor (Optional)
Central Door Locking Actuators
Bonnet Switch (Optional)
Drivers Door Key Switch
Door Switches
Boot Door Switch
Hazard Lights
Battery Backed up Alarm Sounder (Optional)
Alarm Sounder and Relay (Optional)
Alarm LED and Engine Immobiliser Lamp (Instrument Cluster)
Engine Immobiliser ECU
The 10AS offers a number of protection functions including Perimetric protection, Engine
immobilisation (Crank Inhibit), Engine Immobilisation (ECU Inhibit) and ultrasonic protection within the vehicle passenger compartment.
Central locking is also controlled by the 10AS Alarm system. The vehicle can be locked
using the key, Door Locking button or Plip key. The vehicle can only be unlocked using
the Plip key or the emergency access code (EKA).
PERIMETRIC PROTECTION
This part of the system is enabled whenever the vehicle is manually locked using the drivers door key.
VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION
This part of the system is only activated using the Plip Key, which enables protection for
the bonnet, boot and ignition switch. Also the internal Alarm sensor is activated.
ALARM SOUNDER
If the vehicle is detected as being an unauthorised access, the alarm sounder and hazard
lights will start for around 30 seconds. The alarm must be triggered again before the
sounder and hazards will start. There are two sounders used, normal sounder and battery
back up sounder.
3.1
GENERAL OPERATION
The battery backed up sounder is charged via the ignition feed, and if disconnected or
wires cut it will operate for approximately 3 minutes. To disconnect the battery backed up
sounder follow the following procedure :1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Turn Ignition ON, Turn Ignition OFF
Disconnect Sounder within 15 seconds
If Triggered, Re-connect.
Disarm Alarm system
Turn Ignition on and repeat steps above.
INERTIA SWITCH
The inertia switch has been incorporated into the alarm system to activate the central
locking mechanisms if the vehicle is involved in an accident.
ENGINE IMMOBILISER (Optional)
When the alarm system is armed, the Passive Immobilisation function is enabled. Two
types of immobilisation are used :1. Electronic Engine Immobiliser (Used on MFI-T16 and 300TDi with EDC engines)
This system is controlled by the Engine Management ECU and the Alarm ECU. When the
vehicle is immobilised, the alarm ECU sends a signal to the EMS ECU which prevents
starting, and until it receives a de-immobilise signal it will not start.
2. Remote Smart Spider (Used on MFI-T16 and 300TDi without EDC engines)
This system is controlled by the alarm ECU and the Engine immobilisation ECU (Spider).
The alarm ECU sends a signal to the spider ECU to disable vehicle start, which it then
interrupts the starter circuit, fuel pump circuit and ignition coil (If fitted) or the fuel pump
shut off solenoid in the case for the 300TDi engine (without EGR).
NOTE : The vehicle can only be started using the Plip key or the EKA code.
PASSIVE IMMOBILISER
The immobiliser system will be enabled when the following conditions apply :
30 seconds after ignition is switch off and drivers door has been opened.
5 minutes after ignition is switched off.
5 minutes after disarming the alarm system.
PASSIVE IMMOBILISER COIL
A coil is mounted in the steering column which sends a magnetic field which is picked up
by the plip key, and if received, it sends a signal to the alarm ECU to mobilise the vehicle.
3.2
GENERAL OPERATION
VEHICLE STATUS INDICATION
The vehicle status is indicated by the Alarm LED as follows :
Slow flash - Immobilised or Armed and Immobilised
Rapid Flash - Internal sensor system armed
Intermittent Rapid Flash - Doors, Boot and Bonnet armed
No flash for 10 seconds - Miss lock
Continuous - Drivers door open or ignition on and system immobilised
PLIP KEY RESYNCHRONISATION
Procedure.
1. Unlock the drivers door using the key.
2. Ensure all doors, bonnet and boot are shut, and if Central Locking is fitted, make sure
both front doors are unlocked.
3. Press the Plip key (Lock button) four times quickly, until the vehicle locks are enabled.
PLIP KEY LOW BATTERY WARNING
When the Plip key battery is low, the alarm unit will enter low battery mode. The alarm
LED will flash to indicate low battery, and also the hazard lights will not flash when the
alarm is disarmed.
POWER UP MODE
The alarm will always power back up in the mode it was disabled. So if the battery is disconnect and the alarm is activated, then it will remember and when re-connected will enter the same state.
EMERGENCY ACCESS CODE
If the Plip key is lost or does not function, the emergency access code can be used to
override the system as follows :1. Now using the code turn the key to the unlock the number of times of the first digit.
2. Now turn the key to the lock position the number of times of the second digit.
3. Repeat for the last two digits.
After the code has been entered, turn the key to the unlock position, and check to see
whether the Alarm LED has stopped flashing, and the engine will start.
If the wrong code has been entered and warning sound will be heard. After 3 wrong attempts a period of 30 minutes must pass before the next attempt is made. If a mistake is
made part way through, hold the key in the lock position for at least 5 seconds and then
begin the code entry again.
3.3
GENERAL OPERATION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (27VT (BCM) SECURITY SYSTEM)
INTRODUCTION
The 27VT and BCM (Body Control Module) is a sophisticated alarm system and central
locking control, which has a number of associated components that make up the system,
which includes :
Remote Handset (Plip Key)
RF Receiver
Passive Coil
Volumetric sensor
Door Lock actuators
Drivers door key barrel
Central door key barrel
Central Door Locking switch (CDL)
Door switches
Tail door switch
Bonnet switch
Horn
Alarm LED
Starter Relay
Inertia switch
Engine Immobilisation
CENTRAL LOCKING
The vehicle can be locked in three ways, Central Door locking switch (CDL), vehicle key
or remote Plip key. The CDL switch is located inside the vehicle, normally in the centre
console. This allows the locks to be operated without arming the alarm system. If the inertia switch is operated, then the CDL is overridden and the locks are opened automatically.
The vehicle can be CDL locked by using the key in the drivers door. Turning the key anticlockwise will lock all the doors, turning the key a second time will super lock the doors
(Note second turn must be within 1 second of the first turn).
If the vehicle has an alarm and is CDL locked or super locked, turning the key clockwise
will only mechanically unlock the drivers door. The system then enters EKA access
mode.
If the vehicle has no alarm system, then turning the key clockwise once will open all
doors. If the vehicle is super locked then the drivers door will open, and a second turn of
the key will open the other remaining doors. If the remote control unit is used to unlock
the vehicle, pressing the unlock button once will unlock the drivers door only, pressing the
button for the second time all other doors will unlock.
3.4
GENERAL OPERATION
INERTIA SWITCH
The inertia switch is located within the engine bay, on the bulkhead. If the ignition is ON
and the alarm disarmed, then if the switch is operated then all the doors will be unlocked.
Further locking of all doors is disabled until the ignition is switched off and the drivers
door opened and closed or the drivers door opened and closed and the switch is manually reset by pressing the button on the switch.
ALARM/IMMOBILISATIONKEY OPERATION
The alarm system can be armed and disarmed with a EKA code, which can be used if the
Plip key is lost or becomes faulty. The system has a number of components which control different alarm functions. These include Volumetric which monitors movement within
the passenger compartments, in case of possible intrusion. The second is perimetric
sensing which uses switches on all doors, bonnet, roof and tail door.
Arming and disarming using the vehicle key will be ignored if the ignition is already in the
ON state. In certain countries the alarm is programmed not to arm under any circumstance, and the key only unlocks the mechanical lock.
The alarm can be fully armed by turning the key anticlockwise once with all doors closed.
The hazard warning lights should flash 3 times. The alarm LED will flash very fast for 10
seconds and then slowly. If the key is turned for a second time within 1 second of the first
turn the system will be super locked, and the alarm LED will flash for 10 seconds and
then flash slowly.
To disarm the system with the key, the EKA code must be entered using the sequence
described later in this section.
ALARM/IMMOBILISATIONREMOTE PLIP KEY
The vehicle can be fully armed and disarmed using the plip key. If the vehicle is locked
using the plip key lock button, the system is super locked and the alarm LED and hazard
lights will flash as described above.
BATTERY BACKED UO SOUNDER (BBUS)
This system is not fitted to all vehicles, but when fitted is mounted above the wheel arch
liner on the drivers side. If the system is tampered with the BBUS will sound, and will only
stop if the power is re-connected and the system armed and disarmed. It also sounds
when the system is miss-locked. The battery life of the unit is around 3 years.
EMERGENCY ACCESS CODE (EKA)
The EKA code allows arming and disarming of the alarm system when the remote key fob
(Plip) is lost or broken. If the vehicle is opened without using the EKA code, then the
alarm system enters the following states :-
3.5
GENERAL OPERATION
Drivers door is unlocked, other doors remain locked.
Alarm LED flashes slowly
Perimetric protection is de-activated
Volumetric protection is de-activated
Engine and crank functions remain disabled.
The EKA code is a four number code, and each number can be up to 15. This code is entered by turning the drivers door lock to the numbers of the code.
Procedure for 5-2-9-14

4.
5.
6.
Turn the key to the unlock position and wait for 6 MINUTES before proceeding.
Turn the key to the unlock position 5 times.
Turn the key to the lock position 2 times.
Turn the key to the unlock position 9 times.
Turn the key to the lock position 14 times.
Finally turn the key to the unlock position once only.
If entered correctly the alarm system will unlock all the doors, fully disarm all systems and
allow the vehicle to be started.
If the code is entered incorrect 3 times the system will lock out any further attempts for 30
minutes. If a code is entered incorrectly, then the system can be reset by opening and
closing the drivers door, or turning the ignition on and off.
REMOTE HANDSET (PLIP KEY)
Two plip keys are supplied with the vehicle from new, and if the battery is replaced or the
vehicle battery is removed the plip keys will require synchronisation. This Is achieved by
switching on the ignition, which enables the alarm system to send a re-synchronisation
code to the handset automatically. Alternatively it can also be achieved by pressing either
handset button 5 times quickly with the ignition OFF.
If the plip key battery is low, then when the signal is sent from the plip key the alarm will
send a signal which sounds a buzzer for 10 seconds and the alarm LED flashes for 10
seconds to notify the owner.
ENGINE IMMOBILISATION
The engine immobiliser feature disables the starter relay and also the enable code sent to
the MEMS engine management ECU. The passive immobilisation occurs when 5 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the drivers door opened. If ignition is just turned
off then it will immobilise after 5 minutes. Re-immobilisation will occur if the plip key
unlock button is pressed or the key is inserted and ignition turned on with the Plip key
within 70 mm of the ignition lock. If 2 hand sets are in close proximity it will no reimmobilise because of interference.
