System Operation
General
In a communications network (data bus system),
various modules of different systems are connected
to one another via one or several lines.
The data bus system is used exclusively for
transmitting data between the connected modules,
as well as between the connected modules and
the Ford diagnostic unit.
In a data bus system, complete data blocks are
transmitted instead of single on/off pulses. In
addition to the actual information, these data blocks
also contain data regarding the address of the
module to be addressed, the size of the data block
and information for monitoring the content of each
individual data block.
Data bus systems offer various advantages: • Simplified data transmission between the
modules due to a standardized protocol
• Fewer sensors and connectors
• Improved diagnostic options
• Lower costs
The DLC is connected to the various data bus
systems and to the power supply via the standard
16-pin GEM. The signal for the module
programming is also transferred via the DLC.
In a data bus system, if there is a break in one or
both lines or there is a short to ground or to voltage,
then communication between the modules and
with the Ford diagnostic unit is disturbed or is no
longer possible at all.
In order to be able to establish communication with
one another, the modules of the individual systems G1030779en

Programmable Module Installation
Activation
5.
Install the most up-to-date software version in
IDS.
6. If, before replacing a module, it was not possible
to read out the vehicle-specific data using the
integrated diagnostic system (IDS) (the module
to be replaced does not respond) then, during
programming of the new module, the
vehicle-specific data must be entered manually
via a selection list in IDS or via a code which
can be obtained from the Technical Hotline.
7. In order to program, select the "Install
programmable module" submenu in the "Module
programming" menu tool box and then follow
the instructions.
8. The following modules must be programmed
after replacement:
•
• Anti-lock braking system module (ABS)
• Audio system module (ACM)
• CD player (CDP)
• Driver's door control unit (D-DCU)
• Passenger's door control unit (P-DCU)
• Rear left door control unit (RL-DCU)
• Rear right door control unit (RR-DCU)
• Electrical power steering (EPS)
• Generic Display Module (GDM) (vehicles
with DVD navigation system with
touchscreen)
• Generic electronic module (GEM)
• Headlamp control module (HCM) (vehicles with gas discharge headlamps)
• Instrument cluster (IC)
• Navigation system (NAV) (vehicles with navigation system)
• Parking aid module(PAM)
• Powertrain control module (PCM)
• Restraint control module (RCM)
• Rear entertainment system module (RETM) (vehicles with rear seat entertainment
system)
9. In order to configure the PCM, select the
"Programmable parameters" submenu in the
"Module programming" menu tool box and then
follow the instructions.
10. For vehicles with anti-lock braking system and
electronic stability program, these must also be configured using IDS following replacement of
the lateral acceleration sensor, yaw rate sensor
or pressure sensor. Configuration is performed
in the "Programmable parameters" menu tool
box.

6. NOTE: This step requires the aid of another
technician.
1. Insert a 1.2 mm feeler gauge between the parking brake lever and the brake caliper
abutment, on both sides.
2. Tighten the parking brake cable adjustment nut until movement is observed on one of the
parking brake levers.
3. Remove the feeler gauges.
4. Rotate the rear wheels and tires and check for brake drag. If brake drag is felt, loosen
the parking brake cable adjustment nut to
the end of the parking brake cable thread,
clean the parking brake cables and repeat
the parking brake cable adjustment
procedure.
5. If brake drag is still felt after, repeat the adjustment using a 1.0 mm feeler gauge. If
