Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 419-10, for
schematic and connector information.

Ford approved diagnostic tool
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.
Inspection and Checking
NOTE: The generic electronic module (GEM) is
integrated into the central junction box (CJB).
1. VERIFY customer concern.
2. Visually CHECK for any obvious mechanical or electrical damage.
NOTE: Ensure correct locking of the wiring harness
connector.

Removal
CAUTIONS: Modules must not be swapped between
vehicles.
Compare the number of relays and fuses
in the defective GEM and the new GEM.
Transfer from the defective GEM any relays
and fuses which are not in the new GEM.
In doing so, pay attention that fuses with
the correct Ampere rating are used, by
referring to the wiring diagrams.
When installing a new GEM on vehicles
with a diesel engine, make sure that a fuel
pump fuse (F111) with 5A is used.
When installing a new GEM on vehicles
with a petrol engine, make sure that a fuel
pump fuse (F111) with 15A is used.
NOTE: GEM is integrated into the central junction
box (CJB) and cannot be removed individually.
1. NOTE: This step is only necessary when
installing a new component.
Upload the GEM configuration information using
the Programmable Modules Installation Routine.
