Description of operation
A diagnosis of the generic electronic module (GEM)
can be performed with the Ford approved
diagnostic tool. Furthermore, an integrated service
mode enables testing of the input and output
signals without the need for further tools. To enable
activation of service mode:
• Switch off the ignition
• Switch off all other electrical consumers
• Apply the handbrake
• Shift to neutral
• Close the doors.
Activate service mode
Proceed as follows to activate service mode:
• PRESS and HOLD the switch of the heated rear
window
• SWITCH ON the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
A signal sounds and the turn signal lamps
illuminate to indicate that service mode has been
successfully activated.
NOTE: If the alarm is armed (in vehicles fitted with
an anti-theft alarm system), service mode cannot
be activated.
Input signals
SWITCH the windshield wiper switch to the "Off"
position to test the input signals. The following is
a list of the switch signals to be tested, in no
particular order: • Turn signals (right, left, hazard warning lights)
• Windshield wiper stage I
• Windshield wiper stage II
• Windshield washer system
• Rear window wiper
• Rear window washer system
• Doors open/closed
• Door key cylinder set/reset switch
• Remote control for central locking with double
locking
• Hood up/down (in vehicles fitted with anti-theft alarm system)
• Tailgate open/closed
• Mini liftgate open/closed
• Manual A/C request signal
• Manual AUX heater request signal
• Heated windshield (if fitted)
• Parking brake
• Brake fluid level
• Cruise control system
• Autolamps
• Dipped beam
• Main beam
• Headlamp flasher
• Side lights
• Reversing lamp
• Tailgate release
• Mini liftgate release
• Interior scanning system
• Ignition switch, terminal 15 (turn key to 0 position, then turn key to II position.)
An acoustic signal sounds and the turn signal
lamps flash to indicate receipt of each input signal
by the generic electronic module.
Test the windshield wiper "intermittent mode" stage
input signal (only vehicles with adjustable
intermittent mode)
The windshield wiper switch must be switched to
"intermittent mode" in order to test the input signal.
The delay times of the input signals can then be
tested by operating the rotary switch. Each change
of the rotary switch position is indicated by an
acoustic signal and illumination of the turn signals. G1055084en

Output signals
SWITCH the wiper switch to the "intermittent""
position to test the output signals. PRESSING the
heated rear window switch activates the output
signals in the following order:
a.
Left-hand turn signal
b. Right-hand turn signal
c. Main beam
d. Dipped beam
e. Windshield wiper stage I
f. Windshield wiper stage II
g. Heated rear windshield
h. Heater blower motor
i. Headlamp washer system (vehicles with HID headlamps)
j. Electric booster heater (if fitted)
k. Autolamps (position lamps only if fitted)
l. Alarm horn (vehicles with alarm system)
m. Rear window wiper
n. Heated front window relay
When the heated rear window switch is pressed
again, the test of the relevant signal is terminated.
When the heated rear window switch is pressed
once more, the test for the next signal in the list is
started.
End service mode
The GEM automatically ends service mode 20
seconds after the last input or at a driving speed
of over 7km/h. However, service mode can be
manually ended at any time by proceeding as
follows:
• PRESS and HOLD the switch of the heated rear
window
• SWITCH OFF the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
3 signals sound and the turn signal lamps illuminate
to indicate that service mode has ended.
Reset service mode
If, after completion of service mode, some functions
do not operate or do not operate properly, check
the following functions:
• Instrument cluster illumination, side marker lamps (side lights) and licence plate lamp in
automatic headlamps mode
• Rear wiper
• Headlamp washer assembly
• Electric booster heater • Alarm horn
• Heated windshield
If one or more of the listed functions is not OK, it's
possible that the cause of the fault is due to not
exiting service mode properly. To reactivate the
functions correctly, perform the following steps:
1. Switch off the ignition.
2. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen
wash/wipe system
3. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
4. SWITCH ON the ignition.
5. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (an acoustic signal will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
6. SWITCH the windscreen wash/wipe switch to the "Intermittent wipe" position
7. OPERATE the heated rear window switch 6 times (the main beam headlamps switch on and
off automatically)
8. SWITCH OFF the switch for the windscreen wash/wipe system
9. OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
10. Switch off the ignition.
11. RELEASE the heated rear window switch (three
acoustic signals will sound if activation has been
performed correctly)
After completion of the work, check all the
functions.

The all-wheel drive control unit is bolted directly to
the housing of the Haldex clutch.
It forms one unit made up of the control valve, a
pressure/temperature sensor, and a control
module. It receives signals from the PCM and from
the ABS control module via the CAN data bus. The
control module in the control unit uses these
signals to determine the fluid pressure that is
needed to actuate the clutch plates depending on
the requirement. This determines how much torque
should be transmitted to the rear wheels. All-wheel
drive is deactivated if a fault occurs in the all-wheel
drive control unit.
A preload of approx. 80 Nm is always present at
the Haldex clutch. The temperature sensor of the Haldex clutch is
installed near the control valve in the control unit
and is surrounded by the hydraulic fluid. The
temperature is transmitted to the control module
and is used for adaptation to the changing viscosity
of the hydraulic fluid. If the hydraulic fluid is cold,
the control valve has to be opened slightly more
than requested. This allowance has to be reduced
as the temperature increases. The normal working
temperature of the hydraulic fluid is between +40
°C and +60 °C. If the temperature rises above 100
°C, the clutch is depressurised; if the temperature
falls below 95 °C, the clutch is pressurised again.
All-wheel drive is deactivated and a diagnostic
trouble code set if a fault occurs in the temperature
sensor.
With Haldex Generations I and II, the control valve
was actuated via a stepper motor. With Haldex
Generation III, the stepper motor has been omitted.
The control valve is now actuated via a solenoid
valve. The solenoid valve is actuated by the control
module in the all-wheel drive control unit by means
of pulse width modulation. The pulse width
modulation determines the position of the
adjustment spindle and thus the opening cross
section of the return hole. This is how the pressure
at the working piston of the plates is determined.
If the return hole is fully closed, maximum pressure
is applied to the plates. If the return hole is fully
open, the plates are unpressurized.
Electric feed pump
The electric feed pump is installed in the clutch
unit. It works according to the gerotor principle.
The main purpose of the feed pump is to fill the
pressure accumulator and the space behind the
pump plunger with hydraulic fluid, thereby ensuring
a fast response time of the Haldex clutch. The feed
pump used in the third generation is designed to
achieve an even higher pressure than the base
pressure of 4 bar. It is supplied with current by the
control module in the all-wheel drive control unit
when the engine is running above approx. 400 rpm.

Drive
The hydraulic fluid is drawn from the sump of the
hydraulic system and directed through a filter. The
feed pump pressurises the system and pumps
hydraulic fluid into the pump plungers. This base
pressure of 4 bar presses the rollers for the pump
plungers against the cam disc. At the same time,
hydraulic fluid flows into the working piston. This
eliminates the play in the clutch plates. The Haldex
clutch can respond quickly and distribute the torque
within fractions of a second. The spring force in
the pressure accumulator determines the base pressure of 4 bar and compensates pressure
fluctuations. A compensating spring works in the
opposite direction and prevents the plate discs
becoming blocked by the force of the working
piston. This restricts the transferable torque to
approx. 7 Nm. This value can, however, deviate
slightly due to temperature and/or the difference
in speed between the input and output shafts.

Front Drive Halfshafts
Inspection and Verification
NOTE:New front wheel drive halfshafts should not
be installed unless disassembly and inspection
reveals unusual wear.
1. Inspect front wheel driveshaft joint boots for evidence of cracks, tears or splits.
NOTE: While inspecting the front wheel driveshaft
CV joint boots, watch for indentations (dimples) in
the boot convolutions. If an indentation is observed,
it must be removed.
2. Inspect the underbody for any indication of grease splatter in the vicinity of the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boots outboard and inboard
locations, which is an indication of front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot and/or front wheel
driveshaft CV joint boot clamp damage. 3. Inspect for inboard CV joint stub shaft pilot
bearing housing seal leakage at the front wheel
driveshaft CV joint.
4. Make sure front axle wheel hub retainer is the correct prevailing torque type.
5. The silicone front wheel driveshaft CV joint boot will sweat during operation, causing a light film
of grease to show on the outside of the front
wheel driveshaft CV joint boot. This condition
is normal.
NOTE: Halfshafts are not balanced and do not
contribute to rotational vibration.
6. If the concerns remain after the inspection, determine the symptoms and go to the Symptom
Chart. For additional Noise, Vibration and
Harshness (NVH). REFER to Section 100-04
[Noise, Vibration and Harshness] .
