1.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The base vehicle has been tested and certified
to all relevant legislation relating to
Electromagnetic Compatibility. All retrofitted
equipment must also comply with the relevant
legislation.
In addition, 2-way radio communication and other
equipment with built in radio transmitters (for
example anti-theft alarms, tracking devices)
should only be fitted to the vehicle if they operate
within the listed frequency bands and do not
exceed the maximum transmission output power
specified below

1.6.1 Antenna Location
The antenna can be placed on the roof of the
vehicle with the exception of cellular phone car
kits which transmit power below 2W. Such low
power devices may also be installed at the
bottom of the A-pillar behind the trim or on the
front windscreen.
Installation must be performed by suitably
qualified personnel in accordance with the
equipment manufacturer's installation instructions
and comply with the ISO technical specification
ISO/TS 21609: Road Vehicles - Electromagnetic
Compatibility guidelines for the installation of after
market radio frequency transmitting equipment.
In addition, the following guidelines must be
followed during installation:
•Do not mount any transceiver, microphones,
speakers or any other item in the deployment
path of the airbag system.
•Do not attach antenna cables to any part of
the original vehicle wiring or fuel and brake
pipes.
•Antenna and power cables must be a
minimum of 100mm from any electronic
modules and airbags.
•Make sure that any additional power feed is
taken directly from the SVO fuse box (when
available) or a recommended connection
point.
•Power and ground cables should be of higher
current capacity that the protection fuse.
Ground feed must be taken directly to the
battery.
Post installation checks must be made for
disturbances from and to all electrical equipment
in the vehicle both in the standby and transmit
modes. Checks should be carried out with the
ignition ON, engine running and be followed by a
road test at various speeds.

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.

4.9 Information and Entertainment System - General
Information—Specifications
4.9.1 Radio Connector
Multimedia head units (Audio and Navigation) are
connected to the instrument panel wiring via the
Fakra connector see below diagram E74493
NOTE: There is a co-axial cable (green) for the
roof - mounted AM/FM antenna, and depending
on the vehicle, a thin co-axial cable (black) for a
Global Positioning System antenna.
NOTE: Power for Radio - do notswitch the
permanent battery feed (KL 15) and ignition feed
(KL 30) on the radio connection. The ignition feed
15 is only used to 'wake up' the radio.

4.12 Interior Lighting
4.12.1 Additional Internal Lamps
Additional cabin interior lighting may be obtained
by directly accessing the connector inside the
dome lamp in the cab.
Additional load space interior lighting may be
obtained by directly accessing the connector
inside the load space lamps in the load space
area.
CAUTION: The maximum total
internal lamp load must not exceed
5A (75W)
Power for the Interior Lights - cabin and
cargo areas – comes from the battery save
system (Central Junction Box pin C2-31), and for
vehicles with power locking,* the circuit for each
area is controlled by a separate pin on the Central
Junction Box:
•Front (cabin) lights, pin C2-22
•Rear (cargo) lights, pin C2-27 wire not present
on chassis cab and cab-van-floor vehicles
* with manual locking vehicles, control of interior
lighting is done directly through the door contact
switches. All vehicles, however, utilise the battery
saver relay to provide power for internal lighting
for a limited time.
Each of these pins on the Central Junction Box
can take a load of 75W. Lights that are controlled
by the battery save circuit will extinguish 30 to
180 minutes after ignition off (dependent on
vehicle configuration).
4.12.2 Additional 'Theatre
Lighting' for rear of vehicle
interior
For chassis cab or cab-van floor (and camper)
vehicles, rear lighting is not utilised and so there
is no wire to pin C2-27. However, converters can
add their own lights (up to the max. load) via the
battery save or a separate switchable feed, by
adding a pre-crimped wire and terminal to
connector C2. This is located on the Central
Junction Box behind the glove box on the
passenger side (please refer to Figures E84705
and E84712).
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Adding connectors, Terminals and Wiring)
Where higher wattage installations are required,
these should be taken through the Auxiliary Fuse
Box with a suitable switch and / or relay as
required.
Refer to: 4.13 Fuses and Relays (page 119).

4.13.5 Additional Ignition,
Instrument Panel Illumination and
Air Conditioning On Signals
Access to these feeds can be obtained via a
jumper harness (6C1V-14A411-*) that fits into the
8-pin in-line connector between the instrument
panel (14K024) and heater (18B518) harnesses
located behind the glove-box. This jumper will
provide the following signals through three, single
6.3mm colour-coded connectors, please refer
to Fig. E75089 Heater jumper for illumination,
ignition and air conditioning on access.

It is recommended that these signals are used
to energize relays, or any other device, as long
as the maximum current does not exceed
300mA per function, or 600mA (suitable for
powering two relays) for the ignition feed.
NOTE: *There is NO direct provision for an air
conditioning on signal. When the air-conditioning
is switched on, 12V is applied to the defrost
compressor switch and the Air conditioning low
speed blower relay (both integral to the heating
ventilation and air conditioning unit and 18B518
wiring), and the Air conditioning cycling switch
(in the engine bay as part of the 9K499 wiring
[via the 14401 and 14K024 harnesses]). Additional
load on this line is limited, so air conditioning on
is only available as a signal (300mA) for voltage
sensing or powering of a relay – powering
another device directly is Not recommended.
Where additional current is required from either
output, a standard relay should be used, please
refer to Relay Figures E75017-E75021.
The Special Vehicle Option Auxiliary Fuse Box is
recommended as the most suitable power
source for these relays. Please consult your local
National Sales Company representative for
availability.
