2011 FORD KUGA ignition switch

Instrument Cluster – Overview
Replacing the instrument cluster
When installing a new instrument cluster, the Ford
diagnostics device must be connected before
dismantling the instrument cluster, in order to load
the configuration data of the defective instrument
cluster using the "Installation of programmable
modules" routine. In addition, the value on the
odometer of the defective instrument cluster must
be noted, as this is required for configuration of the
new instrument cluster. If the odometer value
cannot be obtained from the instrument cluster
(display failure), the customer should supply the
approximate value.
When installing a new instrument cluster, the Ford
diagnostics device must be connected after
installation in order to download the configuration
data of the defective instrument cluster into the
new instrument cluster using the "Installation of
programmable modules" routine, and to configure
the newly installed instrument cluster to the PATS
system.
Self-diagnostic mode
1.
To enter the instrument cluster self-diagnostic
mode, simultaneously press and hold the set
button and turn the ignition switch from position
0 to position II.
2. Entry to self-diagnostic mode is confirmed when
'TEST' is displayed in the odometer's liquid
crystal display (LCD). The instrument cluster
set button must be released within 3 seconds
of TEST being displayed in the tripmeter LCD
(liquid crystal display) display. Otherwise the
system will exit self-diagnostic mode.
3. To navigate through or skip any of the
instrument cluster self-diagnostic mode tests,
press the SET button. If the SET button is pressed for more than 3 seconds between tests,
the instrument cluster will exit self-diagnostic
mode.
4. Self-diagnostic mode is deactivated when the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or
low battery voltage is detected.
5. If input data to the instrument cluster is missing
or invalid, the tripmeter LCD will display '----'.
6. If the self-diagnostic mode cannot be activated,
test the instrument cluster using the Ford
diagnostic device. G1030769en

System Operation
Parking Aid WARNING: It is the driver's responsibility
to stay alert during reversing procedures.
The system may fail to detect small
children or animals.
CAUTION: The driver is responsible for
detecting obstacles and judging the
distance between these and the vehicle.
The system may fail to detect some
hanging objects, barriers, narrow obstacles
or painted surfaces, which could damage
the vehicle. Always pay attention when
parking.
The parking aid provides an audible warning to the
driver if there are any obstacles in front of or behind
the vehicle during reverse parking maneuvers.
At low speeds, the parking aid module uses the
parking aid sensors to monitor the area around the
vehicle. If an object is detected within a monitored
area, the parking aid module emits a warning tone
using the respective parking aid speaker.
The rear parking aid is switched on with the
ignition. However, it is only enabled when reverse
gear is selected.
The front and rear parking aid is always switched
off when the ignition is switched on. It is switched
on when reverse gear is selected or if the parking
aid switch in the center console is actuated up to
a speed of 16 km/h.
The parking aid is switched off when the vehicle is
travelling forwards at more than 16 km/h or if the
parking aid switch in the center console is actuated
again.
When the parking aid module activates the system,
the parking aid switch LED is illuminated. If the
vehicle is only fitted with the rear parking aid, there
is no switch.
The parking aid sensors emit a series of ultrasonic
impulses and switch to receiver mode to receive the echo reflected by an obstacle within the
detection range. The received echo signals are
amplified and converted from an analog signal to
a digital signal by the sensor. The digital signal is
passed to the parking aid module and compared
with pre-programmed data stored in an EEPROM
within the module. The module calculates the
distance to the obstacle by measuring the time
taken between the emitted and received impulses.
If no objects are detected there are no further
warning tones. If an object is detected, repeated
audible tones are emitted from either parking aid
speaker(s) as appropriate. The time delay between
the tones decreases as the distance between the
object and the vehicle decreases, until at
approximately 250 mm (10 inches), the audible
tone becomes continuous.
If the distance between the obstacle and the
vehicle does not decrease, the warning tone
remains constant if the object has been detected
by an internal parking aid sensor. If the obstacle
was detected by an external sensor and the
distance remains unchanged, the warning tone
stops after 3 seconds.
The parking aid module continues to monitor the
distance and will resume the warning tones if a
decrease in distance is detected.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, a signal is
sent to the GEM (generic electronic module) via
the trailer relay. This signal is sent to the parking
aid module via the MS CAN bus. When the parking
aid module detects that a trailer is connected to
the vehicle, the rear parking aid sensors are
disabled to prevent constant warnings due to the
close proximity of the trailer.

Component Description
Rear parking aid speaker
The rear parking aid speaker, in addition to its
actual function, is also used for audible indication
of various types of error in the front and rear
parking aids. If the rear parking aid speaker
becomes defective, the front parking aid speaker
will then be used to indicate failure modes.
If an error is detected in the system, a signal tone
is emitted via the speaker for 3 seconds.
Parking aid sensors
CAUTIONS:
Always keep sensors free from dirt, ice and
snow. Do not use any sharp objects to
clean the sensors.
If a high-pressure cleaner is used to wash
the vehicle, the jet must only be aimed at
the sensors briefly at a distance of at least
20 cm.
The parking aid sensor consists of the following:
• Plastic housing
• Aluminum membrane with Piezo disc
• Decoupling ring
• Printed circuit board (PCB)
The parking aid sensor consists of a sensor and a
holder. The holder makes sure that each parking
aid sensor is correctly orientated in relation to its
location in the rear bumper.
The sensors have a 3-pin connector which is
connected to the wiring harness of the front
bumper. This in turn is connected to the main body
wiring harness. Three pins provide for power
supply, ground and signal lines to and from the
parking aid module. The disc resonates at a frequency of ca. 50kHz,
producing the ultrasonic output. The disc also
receives the reflected echo signal from any objects
within range.
Parking aid module
The parking aid module has three connectors which
provide for power, ground and MS CAN bus
connections, as well as the front and rear parking
aid sensors, the parking aid switch and parking aid
speaker.
The parking aid module carries out self-check
routines and when the parking aid is active, checks
the parking aid sensor wiring for short or open
circuits. If a concern is detected, a diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is stored in a memory in the
parking aid module and the front and rear parking
aid sensors will be disabled until the DTC is cleared
and the ignition cycled. The driver recognizes a
problem through the flashing LED and a shrill
continuous tone, which is emitted for 3 seconds
when the parking aid is activated. If the parking aid
is working properly, short tones are emitted instead
of this continuous tone. DTCs can be read using
the Ford approved diagnostic tool through the data
link connector (DLC).

Principles of Operation
The ultrasonic parking aid system activates when
the ignition switch is turned to the RUN and when
the parking brake is OFF. If a front parking aid
switch is fitted the system will be de-activated and
a light emitting diode (LED) will indicate the state
of the system. A lit LED will indicate that the system
is currently deactivated. The parking aid system
will be disabled if a fault is detected in one of the
four front parking aid sensors, the parking aid
speaker or the parking aid module. An error tone
approximately 3 seconds long will be emitted from
the rear parking aid speaker if a fault is detected.
If the rear parking aid speaker is inoperative the
error tone will sound from the front parking aid
speaker.

Direct Current/Alternating Current (DC/AC) Inverter – Overview
Function indicator
WARNING: For workshop repairs, it is only
permissible to replace the converter as a
complete unit together with the wiring
harness and the socket. The component
must not be opened, as charged capacitors
inside can still carry dangerously high
residual voltages.
The LED in the socket lights up orange when the
converter is supplying a voltage.
In the event of a fault the system switches off and
indicates the cause of the fault by flashing a trouble
code via the LED in the socket:
• 1x flash – High temperature
• 2x flashes – Overload
• 3x flashes – Internal overvoltage
• 4x flashes – Internal undervoltage
• Continuous flashing – Short circuit to power
If the converter switches off due to high
temperature then it switches back on again
automatically once the temperature has cooled
down sufficiently.
With all of the other faults which are displayed, the
converter can be reset by switching the ignition off
and back on again or by unplugging and reinserting
the consumer in the socket.
If these measures are unsuccessful then there are
no further options for directly influencing the
function yourself. G1055637en
