1.1 About This Manual
1.1.1 Introduction
This manual has been written in a format that is
designed to meet the needs of Vehicle
Converters. The objective is to use common
formats with the workshop manual which is used
by technicians worldwide.
This guide is published by Ford and provides
general descriptions and advice for converting
vehicles.
It must be emphasized that any change to the
basic vehicle which does not meet the enclosed
guideline standards may severely inhibit the ability
of the vehicle to perform its function. Mechanical
failures, structure failure, component unreliability
or vehicle instability will lead to customer
dissatisfaction. Appropriate design and application
of body, equipment and or accessories is key to
ensuring that customer satisfaction is not
adversely affected.
The information contained within this publication
takes the form of recommendations to be
followed when vehicle modifications are
undertaken. It must be remembered that certain
modifications may invalidate legal approvals and
application for re-certification may be necessary.
Ford cannot guarantee the operation of the
vehicle if non-Ford -approved electrical systems
are installed. Ford electrical systems are designed
and tested to function under operational
extremes, and have been subjected to the
equivalent of ten years of driving under such
conditions
1.1.2 Important Safety Instructions
Appropriate conversion procedures are essential
for the safe, reliable operation of all vehicles as
well as the personal safety of the individual
carrying out the work.
This manual cannot possibly anticipate all such
variations and provide advice or cautions as to
each. Anyone who departs from the instructions
provide in this manual must first establish that he
compromises neither his personal safety nor the
vehicle integrity by his choice of methods, tools
or components.
1.1.3 Warnings, Cautions and
Notes in This Manual
WARNING: Warnings are used to
indicate that failure to follow a
procedure correctly may result in
personal injury.
CAUTION: Cautions are used to
indicate that failure to follow a
procedure correctly may result in
damage to the vehicle or equipment
being used.
NOTE: Notes are used to provide additional
essential information required to carry out a
complete and satisfactory repair
As you read through this manual, you will come
across WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES.
A warning, caution or note is placed at the
beginning of a series of steps if it applies to
multiple steps. If the warning, caution or note only
applies to one step, it is placed at the beginning
of the specific step (after the step number).
1.1.4 How to Use This Manual
This manual covers vehicle conversion
procedures.
The pages at the start of this manual list the
content, by group. A group covers a specific
portion of the vehicle. The manual is divided into
five groups, General Information, Chassis,
Powertrain, Electrical and Body. The number of
the group is the first number of a section number.
Each title listed in the contents links to the relevant
section of the manual.
In some section of the book it may refer you to
see additional sections for information, links have
been provided, these links are in blue text.
This manual is also designed to be used as a
printed document, where there are links page
numbers in brackets have been added, which
will help guide you to the start of the section
which contains the relevant information.
There is also an alphabetical index at the back of
the manual. As with the contents pages you will
be able to link to sections. To do this just click on
the page number.
All left and right-handed references to the vehicle
are taken from a position sitting in the driver seat
looking forward unless otherwise stated.

associated systems to shut down
(overload protection), or permanent
damage to the Central Junction Box
itself.
Basic vehicle functions (for example: headlights,
front wipers) are available on all Central Junction
Boxes (CJBs). Increased vehicle features are
available on the mid- and high-level CJBs, as per

4.3 Charging System
4.3.1 General Information and
Specific Warnings
The Transit electrical system is a 12-Volt supply
with a negative earth return. The alternator and
battery equipment used as standard are
designed for normal operations with the type of
engine fitted. Higher capacity batteries are
available as standard production options and
special vehicle options. Before installing additional
electrical equipment check that the battery
capacity, harness load capability, and alternator
output are suitable for the extra load.
The battery capacity and charge available from
the alternator must be adequate to ensure
engine cranking in unfavorable climatic conditions
but excessive battery capacity could damage
the starter motor.
The Transit utilizes multiplexed vehicle electronics
- it is recommended that the appropriate Ford
proprietary accessory systems are used.
Inappropriate or incorrect connection of
additional equipment could cause mis-operation,
or damage to the vehicle, and so invalidate any
warranty.
Additional connection points are provided
specifically for customer use (except M1 and M2
Bus), and are located on the outside of the
driver's seat base.
Do not jump-start the vehicle directly from the
battery. Use designated jump-start points. Refer
to the owners literature.
4.3.2 Power Management
Settings
There are four Power Management Settings
available:
•Factory
•Transport
•Normal
•Crash
Factory and Transport modes are only active
with ignition off; with ignition on, the vehicle
operates with full functionality. When in Transport
mode, the interior lights, clocks, and power
locking and alarms (where fitted) do not work.
It is possible to switch from Transport Mode to
Normal Mode without the use of any ancillary
equipment, but not vice versa. To change mode,
the brake pedal must be depressed five times,
and the hazard warning switch operated twice
(in any combination) within 10 seconds.
WARNING: It is not possible to return
the transport setting without using
the vehicle's diagnostics.
At the end of production, the vehicle is
configured to the transport setting to minimize
power consumption. As part of the Pre Delivery
Inspection process at the Ford dealership, the
vehicle is reconfigured to normal operation.
4.3.3 Electrical Conversions
Operator requirements for additional and
specialised electrical equipment varies. The
vehicle converter/modifier must, therefore,
consider the following points when designing the
installation:
•Legality and regulatory conformity of the base
vehicle.
•Drive-ability and serviceability of the base
vehicle.
•The effect of regulations governing the
proposed conversion including National
Legislation in the country of sale.
•The method of integrating the circuit into the
base vehicle.
•No additional circuits are to be run alongside
the electrical circuits (shown in blue in the
figure below) associated with the
Management System (shown in green in the
figure below), due to the possible Electro
Motive Force (EMF) effect on the circuits.

4.10 Cellular Phone
WARNING: Installation of any
non-Ford-approved system is not
recommended and operation with
associated systems cannot be
guaranteed. Any resultant damage
will not be covered under warranty.
Ford offer hands-free and wireless technology
(Bluetooth) phone systems (including voice
recognition) as factory-fit options, these will also
be available as aftermarket accessory kits from
your Ford dealership.
These use the Ford MS CAN multimedia bus to
operate in conjunction with the Ford audio and
navigation systems.

4.13 Fuses and Relays
4.13.1 Wiring Specification
When designing wire installations for additional
equipment use the cable size recommended by
the equipment manufacturer or select a suitable
size from the Current Rating Wire Sizes
specifications chart.
Refer to: 4.2 (page 94).
Wiring consists a soft annealed copper core in
accordance with DIN 57201 (VDDE 0201)
sheathed in Hypalon or irradiated PVC.
For 0,5mm cable an alternative material with
conductor E-CU F20 or F21 in accordance with
DIN 40500 sheathed in cross linked PVC is
available.
4.13.2 Auxiliary Fuses, Fuse Box
and Relays (Fuses - Standard)
WARNING: No increase in existing
vehicle standard fuse capacity is
allowed under any circumstances.
There are no spare fuses in the
Engine Junction Box, Standard Relay
Box or Central Junction Box. The
vehicle converter/modifier must
provide additional fuses as required.
Please refer to below chart.
