Generator
General information
The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the
alternator charging voltage. The connection
between the PCM and the generator is made via
the control module subnetwork (LIN) bus.
If the load on the alternator is high, the PCM can
increase the idle speed.
The alternator is temporarily deactivated during
engine starting so that the engine drag moment is
minimized and it is reactivated again after the
starting procedure.
The PCM controls the charge control lamp in the
instrument cluster via the controller area network
(CAN) bus.
Smart Charge system
In addition to the familiar functions, the Smart
Charge system also performs the following
functions:
•
Automatic deactivation of non-critical high power
electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is low in order to reduce the level of current
drawn.
• Automatic activation of non-critical high power electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is excessively high in order to protect
components which are sensitive to increased
voltages.
The battery charging current is optimized through
continuous calculation of the battery temperature
and monitoring of the alternator output voltage.
By receiving the forwarded alternator load signal,
the PCM is given early warning whenever an
electric consumer is switched on or off. This means
that the PCM receives information about imminent
changes in the torque drawn by the alternator. By
evaluating this information the PCM can provide a
higher level of idling stability.
The two remaining functions of the Smart Charge
System are controlled by the GEM.
Electrical consumers are switched off due to low
voltage when the GEM determines (on the basis
of the message received from the PCM on the CAN
bus via the instrument cluster) that the battery
voltage has dropped below the threshold.
When the threshold for low battery voltage is
reached the GEM automatically deactivates the following consumers - in this order and with a gap
of 5 seconds between each:
• Electric booster heater (vehicles with diesel
engines)
• Heated exterior mirrors
• Heated rear window
• Heated windscreen
If the battery voltage rises back above the lower
threshold then the GEM re-enables all of the
electrical consumers which were previously
disabled. They then have switched off status and
must be switched back on by the driver.
Electrical consumers are switched on due to
excessively high voltage if the GEM determines
that the battery voltage is above the threshold for
overvoltage and the charge control lamp has been
switched on.
When the threshold is reached the GEM
automatically activates the following consumers -
in this order and with a gap of 5 seconds between
each:
• Heated rear window
• Heated exterior mirrors
• Electric booster heater (vehicles with diesel engines)
• Blower motor
If the battery voltage drops back below the
threshold then the GEM automatically deactivates
any consumers that were switched on. However,
if they were switched on by the driver before the
automatic activation, they will then be switched on
again in turn with a 5-second time interval. G964174en

Wiring Diagrams Section 415-00, for
schematic and connector information. General Equipment
Ford diagnostic equipment
Principles of Operation
NOTE: Voice control will only operate with the
audio unit and components required switched ON.
Voice Control
The portable support electronics (PSE) module
has a voice control system. The customer will be
able to push the VOICE button on the audio control
switch located on the steering column lower
shroud, this will activate the PSE module and allow
voice control. An audible tone will be heard through
the audio unit speakers after which, a voice
command can then be spoken into the microphone
located in the overhead console.
The incoming calls and voice confirmation can be
heard through the audio system speakers.
When a voice command is spoken into the
microphone it will be sent as a signal to the PSE
module. The signal is then sent from the PSE
module to the relevant components on the
medium-speed controller area network (CAN) bus
network. The component will then convert the
signal back into the original voice command.
The components that the PSE module interacts
with are as follows:
• audio unit
• navigation system display module
• cellular phone
For additional information on the cellular phone
system, REFER to the cellular phone Owner's
Guide.
Bluetooth
An input can be given through the cellular phone
with or without the cellular phone connected to the
handset holder. Providing that the cellular phone
is one of the recommended cellular phones for the
system, is supplied with the Bluetooth technology
and the cellular phone is programmed to the PSE
module.
When selected as active the Bluetooth technology
is a wireless system that interacts with the relevant component modules through the PSE module. The
general operation of the Bluetooth is similar to the
voice control.
Bluetooth technology cannot transfer the cellular
phone's PHONEBOOK or recent outgoing and
incoming call details to the audio unit or navigation
system display module. If the cellular phone is
placed into the handset holder the PHONEBOOK
data and recent outgoing and incoming call
information will be transferred to the audio unit or
navigation system display module.
For additional information, REFER to the cellular
phone Owner's Guide.
Inspection and Verification
NOTE: Make sure that the cellular phone is
featured on the list of recommended cellular
phones for the system.
Make sure that the PSE module and cellular
phone are configured to each other before
starting a system diagnosis. ENTER the
following PIN number on the cellular phone to
configure the cellular phone to the PSE module:
0000.
Make sure that the MUTE symbol is not
displayed on the audio unit when trying to
operate the cellular phone system. If the MUTE
symbol is displayed, this indicates that the PSE
module requires configuring to the vehicle and
the cellular phone requires programming to the
PSE module. GO to
Pinpoint Test C.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system using the customers cellular phone.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
