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.

4.11.3 Lamps – Hazard / Direction
Indication
The maximum permissible load with the standard
system is:
•3 x 21W – front and rear indicators + side
repeaters (Left Hand Side)
•3 x 21W – front and rear indicators + side
repeaters (Right Hand Side)
That is:- 63W per side maximum.
4.11.4 Lamps – Front and Rear
Fog Lights
National Regulations regarding inter-connection
with other front and rear fog lights must be
checked before designing the wiring circuit.
For trailer tow for rear fog lighting relating to that
system.
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Electrics for Tow bar)
4.11.5 Lamps for Wide Vehicles
Lamps – End outline and side marker
lamps
All Chassis Cab vehicles are fitted with front
marker lamps on the cab roof as standard, less
roof marker lamps they are optional. Where
additional side marker lamps and rear outline
marker lamps are required to comply with local
regulations, access to the appropriate signals
may be obtained from the licence plate lamps.
A special jumper link is available for this purpose
from the local Ford dealer.
The maximum permissible load with the standard
system is:
NOTE: For various vehicles Cat 6 repeater
lamps must be fitted. See legislation for full
details.
•6 x 5W – side marker
•2 x 5W – end outline marker
•2 x 5W – Cat 6
•2 x 4W – roof marker
4.11.6 Electrically operated Door
Mirrors
WARNING: Do not tamper with the
base system (controlled by Central
Junction Box and multiplex
architecture) and any feeds taken
from the associated wiring or
controller.
NOTE: These options are not suitable for
aftermarket or Body Builder fit.
Refer to: 1.14 (page 34).

harness that provides roof-mounted rear turn
indicators, powered via relays. This should be
used in conjunction with SVO fusebox.
3.Chassis cab LED rear lamp cluster
replacement recommendations, especially
turn indicator relay implications – see lighting
load table. Generally the use of LED equivalent
lighting systems reduces the electrical load on
the vehicle; however, special care needs to
be taken with respect to any change to or
addition of turn indicator lights. Depending on
the current requirements of the LED(s)
compared to the bulb it is replacing, a ballast
resistor may be required, if not already
integrated into the LED lamp assembly.
Without this, bulb outage detection for turn
indicators will be affected, which is a legal
requirement.
Additional turn indicators must be powered
through relays (max 300mA), driven by existing
turn lights. The maximum load that the Central
Junction Box can drive is 3 x 21W per side (front,
rear and CAT 6 turn indicators); but even if the
vehicle is not fitted with the CAT 6 lights, the feeds
for these should not be used as the Central
Junction Box would need reconfiguring, which
could have safety as well as functional
implications.
4.Special Vehicle Option beacon switch: wiring
locations, circuit diagrams and max amperage
– see Special Vehicle Option fuse box
schematic (max current is 15A); there is
provision for the Special Vehicle Option beacon
switch in an empty switch location on the
instrument panel.
5.Rear loom connector detail location and supply
details for retro-fit loom extension for
example:- when extending a medium wheel
base, long wheel base or extended frame
overhang, what connectors do they use to
make a plug and play loom extension? – for
chassis cab vehicles, there is an Special
Vehicle Option extension loom for rear lamps
(part number 6C1V-14408-A*). There is not, at
present, a similar loom for Van, Bus and
Kombi's, although the appropriate mating
connector is now tooled, so this would be
possible.
Miscellaneous Systems
Handbrake on - Cluster Warning Light -
Unless the vehicle is specified with options that
drive the handbrake warning light (for example
ESP, Australia market), the components making
up this system are not fitted. We do not
recommend installation of this feature as an
aftermarket addition. There are several reasons
for this:
1.Not all circuits carry the requisite wire as a give
away:
•The wires might be part of the main vehicle
harness (14401) even if not used – for example
camper vehicles are normally ordered with
power mirrors, and the wires will be present
as a give-away.
•The seat pedestal harness (14K076), however,
is vehicle specific – if the handbrake is not part
of the specification, it will not be present or
give-away. This harness would need to be
changed to the compatible part that also
includes the handbrake warning light circuit.
2.The handbrake switch (part number
2F2T-15852-A*) together with its short jumper
harness (6C1T-15K857-A*) would need to be
obtained and fitted.
3.The handbrake warning light is in all clusters,
but unless the vehicle config. parameter
“parking brake switch” is set, the Central
Junction Box will not read this input, and hence
NO CAN message sent to the cluster.
Reconfiguration can only be done at a Ford
Dealer.
NOTE: If a vehicle already has a handbrake
warning light in the cluster, or one is installed as
per the Ford design, it is not possible to utilize the
wire from the handbrake switch as part of an
interlock circuit (this is a pull up resistor input that
provides a wetting current of 20mA – anything in
excess of this, for example through additional
circuitry, will almost certainly damage the Central
Junction Box). If there is no handbrake switch
installed, it would be possible to add one and
utilize this as part of a separate circuit, up to a
maximum current of 500mA through the switch.
Reverse Sensors (Rear Park Aid
Module)- The factory-fit option is a CAN-based
system, but for Van, Bus, and Kombi vehicles
only. Stand-alone systems can be installed (for
example for chassis cab conversions), but would
need to utilize the PTA line of the radio if muting
is required.
Fuel Fired Heater (FFH)- Add FFH: wiring is
only present (give-away) in certain harnesses.
There was an aftermarket kit available for this
system on current Transit, which could probably
be “updated” to suit V347/8.
Fuel Fired Heater (FFH) - Programmable
FFH: this utilizes a timer/control module mounted
to the Instrument Panel, which necessitates
having the correct Instrument Panel harness
fitted. Retrofit of this would be a difficult.
For both systems, the appropriate 6C1T-14K132
harness would be required (suffix -A* for
Programmable FFH, and suffix –B* for Add FFH).
Central Locking
Locking is controlled by the Central Junction Box
module. There is current sensing on certain
locking circuit pins as part of the security system
– if these are tampered with, locking cannot be
guaranteed.
