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
• and close the doors.
Activating the service mode
Proceed as follows to activate the service mode:
•
OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• Turn on the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
A signal sounds and the turn signal lamps come
on to indicate that service mode has been
successfully activated.
NOTE: If the alarm is activated (in vehicles fitted
with an anti-theft alarm system), service mode
cannot be activated.
Inputs
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
• Remote control for central locking with double
locking
• Hood open/closed (in vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm system)
• Tailgate open/closed
• A/C request signal
• Heated windscreen (if fitted)
• Parking Brake
• Brake reservoir fluid level
• Speed control system
• Autolamps
• dipped beam
• main beam
• headlamp flasher
• Marker Lamps
• Reversing lamp
• Liftgate release
• 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.
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. Turn Indicator Left Hand
b. Turn Indicator Right Hand
c. main beam
d. dipped beam
e. Windshield wiper stage I
f. Windshield wiper stage II G1055032en

4. Remove the vacuum hose from the brakebooster. Manifold vacuum should be available
at the brake booster end of the hose with the
engine at idle speed and the transaxle in the
NEUTRAL position. Make sure that all unused
vacuum outlets are correctly capped, hose
connectors are correctly secured and vacuum
hoses are in good condition. When it is
established that manifold vacuum is available
to the brake booster, connect the vacuum hose
to the brake booster and repeat Step 3. If no
downward movement of the brake pedal is felt,
install a new brake booster.
5. Operate the engine a minimum of 10 seconds at approximately 1200 rpm. Stop the engine and
let the vehicle stand for 10 minutes. Then, apply
the brake pedal with approximately 89 N (20 lb)
force. The pedal feel (brake application) should
be the same as that noted with the engine
operating. If the brake pedal feels hard (no
power assist), install a new vacuum check valve
and then repeat the test. If the brake pedal still
feels hard, install a new brake booster. If the
brake pedal movement feels spongy, bleed the
brake system. REFER to: (206-00 Brake System
- General Information)
Brake System Bleeding (General Procedures),
Brake System Pressure Bleeding (General
Procedures),
Component Bleeding (General Procedures).
Brake Master Cylinder
Usually, the first and strongest indicator of anything
wrong with the braking system is a feeling through
the brake pedal. In diagnosing the condition of the
brake master cylinder, check pedal feel as
evidence of a brake concern. Check for the red
brake warning indicator illumination and the fluid
level in the master cylinder reservoir.
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal
and are not indications that the brake master
cylinder is in need of service.
– Modern brake systems are not designed to
produce as hard a pedal effort as in the past.
Complaints of light pedal efforts should be compared to pedal efforts of another vehicle, of
the same model and year.
– During normal operation of the brake pedal, the fluid level in the reservoir will rise during brake
pedal application and fall during release. The
net fluid level (i.e., after brake pedal application
and release) will remain unchanged.
– A trace of brake fluid will exists on the brake booster shell below the master cylinder
mounting flange. This results from the normal
lubricating action of the master cylinder bore
end seal.
– The fluid level will fall with brake shoe and lining wear.
Abnormal Conditions
NOTE: Prior to performing any diagnosis, make
sure the brake system warning indicator is
functional.
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators
that something could be wrong with the braking
system. The diagnostic procedure and techniques
use brake pedal feel, warning indicator illumination
and low brake fluid level as indicators in diagnosing
braking system concerns. The following conditions
are considered abnormal and indicate that the
brake master cylinder is in need of service.
– The brake pedal goes down fast. This could be caused by an external or internal leak.
– The brake pedal eases down slowly. This could be caused by an external or internal leak.
– The brake pedal is low and or feels spongy. This condition may be caused by no fluid in the brake
master cylinder reservoir, reservoir cap vent
holes clogged or air in the hydraulic system.
– The brake pedal effort is excessive. This may be caused by a bind or obstruction in the pedal
or linkage, clogged fluid control valve or
insufficient booster vacuum.
– The rear brakes lock up during light pedal force. This may be caused by incorrect tire pressures,
grease or fluid on the brake shoes and linings,
damaged brake shoes and linings, incorrectly
adjusted parking brake, or damaged or
contaminated brake pressure control valves.
– The brake pedal effort is erratic. This condition could be caused by a brake booster malfunction,
extreme caliper piston knock back or incorrectly
installed brake shoes and linings.
– The red brake warning indicator is ON. This may be caused by low fluid level, ignition wire routing

too close to the fluid level indicator assembly,
or float assembly damage.
Bypass Condition Test
1. Check the fluid in the brake master cylinderreservoir. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir
if low or empty.
2. Observe the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If after several brake
applications, the fluid level remains the same,
measure the wheel turning torque required to
rotate the wheels with the brakes applied as
follows:
Place the transaxle in the NEUTRAL position.
Raise and support the vehicle. REFER to: (100-02
Jacking and Lifting) Jacking (Description and Operation),
Lifting (Description and Operation).
Apply the brakes with a minimum of 445 N (100
lb) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With
the brakes still applied, exert a torque on the front
wheels of 10.1 Nm (75 lb ft). If either wheel rotates,
install a new brake master cylinder.
REFER to: Brake Master Cylinder - 2.5L Duratec
(147kW/200PS) - VI5 (206-06 Hydraulic Brake
Actuation, Removal and Installation).
Non-Pressure Leaks
Any empty brake master cylinder reservoir
condition may be caused by two types of
non-pressure external leaks.
Type 1: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorrect
positioning of the gasket and cap. Reposition the
cap and gasket.
Type 2: An external leak may occur at the brake
master cylinder reservoir mounting seals. Service
such a leak by installing new seals.

Changing the right-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module
E113328
If the right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module needs to be changed on a vehicle with a
booster heater/additional heater, the bore for the
connection to the fuel-fired booster
heater/additional heater must be drilled.
The right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module contains a demand-switched electric fuel
pump which drives two suction jet pumps. One of
them ensures that fuel is pumped from the left-hand
half of the tank into the right-hand half. On-demand
switching is performed by the fuel pump module.
To remove the right-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module it is necessary to detach theleft-hand fuel pump and level indicator module and
pull it out slightly so that the connecting hose can
be detached and the connector for the left-hand
fuel pump and level indicator module can be
disconnected. The left-hand fuel pump and level
indicator module can be removed without detaching
the right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module.
The instrument cluster uses the signals from both
fuel fill level sensors to determine the fuel fill level.
The resistor tracks of the fuel fill level sensors
cannot be replaced individually.
The fuel filter is designed to last for the service life
of the vehicle and does not need to be replaced.
The right-hand fuel pump and level indicator
module contains an overpressure limiting valve.
This overpressure limiting valve ensures that the
fuel pressure between the injectors and the
right-hand fuel pump and level indicator module
does not exceed 3.3 bar after the engine is
stopped. This reduces the formation of vapor
bubbles and also prevents dripping from the
injectors.
Fuel filler pipe and tank cap
NOTE:
Any water in the filling area can cause the
mechanism to freeze at temperatures below 0 °C.
In this case the closing mechanism will not open
when the nozzle of the petrol/diesel pump is
inserted.
