• Parking brake switch.– The parking brake switch is hard-wired to theGEM. The parking brake switch sends a
signal to the GEM when the parking brake is
operated. The GEM activates the parking
brake indicator lamp in the instrument cluster.
If the parking brake indicator lamp is lit,
cruise control cannot be activated.
• Back-up light switch – The backup lamp switch is hard-wired to the GEM. The backup lamp switch sends a signal
to the GEM when reverse gear is engaged.
The GEM activates the reversing lamp.
Cruise control cannot be activated when
reverse gear is engaged.

The cruise control buttons are non-locking push
buttons. They are connected to the coil spring via
a hard-wired 9-pin plug connection.
The cruise control buttons operate according to
the resistance bridge circuit principle. The buttons
receive a 5 Volt reference voltage. When operated,
each button passes a particular voltage to the
GEM. The GEM measures this voltage and from
it determines which button has been pressed.
The operation of the cruise control buttons can be
checked by a simple measurement of the
resistance between pin 4 and pin 5 at the coil
spring 9-pin connector. A change of resistance
must occur when a button is pressed.

3. NOTE: Not all passenger junction box (PJB) variants support the speed control system.
NOTE: If the PJB is configured for speed control
disable, speed control operation is not transmitted,
no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
generated.
If an obvious cause for an observed or reported
concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool.
