5 Series E60 M5 (S85) SAL
The battery cable must be monitored on vehicles where the battery cable is installed on the underbody parallel to
the fuel line. Depending on the type of vehicle, the battery cable is made from copper or aluminium and insulated
with plastic. The insulation is mantled with low-impedance metal braiding. The metal braiding is the monitoring
wire. The battery cable is then covered with a second insulation layer made from plastic. This is the external
insulation layer.
A connection line is provided at both ends of the monitoring line.
>up to 09/2005:
The battery cables are monitored by the passive safety system ASE (advanced safety electronics) via satellites
in the B-pillars. The end of the monitoring wire leads to the left-hand B-pillar satellite. The other end of the
monitoring wire leads to the right-hand B-pillar satellite.
>from 09/2005:
The ASE is superseded by the ACSM ("Advanced Crash Safety Module", usually referred to as the "crash safety
module").
The battery cable is monitored by the crash safety module. Both ends of the monitoring wire are connected to
the crash safety module.

CAS: Car access system
The CAS includes the following functions:
•
Terminal control
•
Electronic vehicle immobiliser (EWS)
•
Evaluation of radio signals from remote control
The CAS is directly connected to ignition starter switch or insert compartment by wires. The DME / DDE and the
starter motor are connected to the CAS. The CAS is part of the K-CAN bus network.

DME or DDE: Digital engine electronics or digital diesel electronics
The DME/DDE is the engine control unit. The DME/DDE contains the electronic immobiliser (EWS). The
DME/DDE is also used as a secondary (backup) data store. The DME/DDE is connected to the powertrain CAN
(PT-CAN) data bus to allow it to communicate with other control units in the vehicle.

Starter relay
The starter relay switches the battery voltage to the starter motor, when
