2011 FORD KUGA lighting

Stoplamps
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
• 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
g. Heated rear window
h. Heater blower motor
i. Headlamp washer system (vehicles with gas discharge headlamps)
j. Electric booster heater (if fitted)
k. Autolamps (if fitted)
l. Alarm horn (vehicles with alarm system)
m. Rear window wiper
n. Rear heated window relay G1056685en

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.
Ending the service mode
The GEM automatically ends service mode 20
seconds after the last input or at a driving speed
of over 7 km/h. However, service mode can be
manually ended at any time by proceeding as
follows:
•
OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• 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 lamps and license plate lamp in autolamps mode
• Rear wiper
• Headlamp Washers
• Electric booster heater
• Active anti-theft sounder
• 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. Turn 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) forms
part of the central junction box (CJB).
NOTE: If the instrument cluster is changed, it must
be re-configured. For this purpose, the
vehicle-specific data is read out of the module to
be replaced using the Ford approved diagnostic
tool and is transferred to the new module.
NOTE: Before reading out the vehicle-specific data,
remake all the separated electrical connections in
the vehicle, so that communication between the
module and the Ford approved diagnostic tool is
ensured.
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

• Fuse(s)
• Lamp(s)
• Bulb(s)

3. Resolve any obvious causes or concerns found during the visual inspection before carrying out
any further tests.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool. G1056685en
