System Operation
Electric Booster Heater
In diesel vehicles which give off little residual heat,
a booster heater is used to heat the passenger
compartment rapidly in the case of low ambient
temperatures.
If the interior temperature has been set to HI, or if
the heater controls have been switched to the
highest setting, the two-zone air conditioning
system sends an "electric booster heater ON"
request signal to the CAN (controller area network)
via the medium speed GEM bus. If a manual air
conditioning system is installed, the signal is
transmitted via a conventional cable connection.
The GEM switches on the electric booster heater
depending on the following parameters:
• Engine coolant temperature is below 60 °C.
• Ambient air temperature is below 10 °C.
• Sufficient generator capacity is available.
The electric booster heater electronics activate
three output stages as a function of a pulse width
modulated signal PWM (pulse width modulation)
generated by the GEM. The output stages switch
the three heating elements of the electric booster
heater ON or OFF individually, whereby the heating
periods of the individual elements can overlap. Due
to the variable switch-on duration, continuously
variable temperature control is possible. The overall
heating power of the three heating elements is
linearly proportional to the PWM signal. If the PWM
signal is below 10% or above 95%, the electric
booster heater is not activated.
The electric booster heater is switched off when
an engine coolant temperature of 70°C or an
ambient air temperature of 20°C is exceeded.

System Operation
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster contains analog displays
as well as warning and control lamps for displaying
the system status; in addiiton, there is an LCD
indicator field for driver information.
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the PCM via the high speed CAN
(controller area network) Bus (HS-CAN):
• Vehicle speed – The PCM receives the necessary signalsfrom the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel
sensors from the ABS control unit on the
HS-CAN.
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine oil pressure.
• Engine speed
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the GEM via the medium speed CAN
Bus (MS-CAN):
• Ambient temperature
• Brake fluid level
• Handbrake control
• Door latch control
• Liftgate latch control
• High beam control
• Headlamp flasher control
• Direction indicator control
The fuel level signal is sent by the two fuel level
sensors in the fuel pumps in the semitrailer tank,
which is wired to the instrument cluster. The
sensors are connected in series, and the total
resistance is determined from the two individual resistors. The instrument cluster converts the raw
fuel level signal into a damped fuel level value.
The odometer shows the total distance travelled
by the vehicle and is based on the same signal as
is processed for the daily mileage counter. The
value is recorded by the instrument cluster and
stored in a protected EEPROM (Electronically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) area.
This area is a memory protected against
manipulation. If the instrument cluster detects an
error in this memory area, e.g. through damage,
the driver is notified with the "Odometer error"
message.
Message center
The message center is operated using the left-hand
switch on the steering column.
The SET/RESET button is activated to select a
submenu and change the settings. If signal tones
have been activated, a short acoustic signal will
sound each time a button is pressed.
By turning the rotary switch, the different menu
displays can be scrolled through or a setting
selected.
In this display, the navigation system can also
display direction and distance information.
In addition, safety and warning messages can be
displayed in this system, such as "Coolant
overheating", "Engine system error" or "Washer
fluid level too low". In addition to a safety message,
a general warning light (red/yellow) lights up.

1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical
or electrical damage.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. NOTE: If none of the following warning indicators are operating correctly this may
indicate a concern with the central junction
box (CJB). If only one or two of the following
warning indicators are not operating
correctly this may indicate an instrument
cluster concern. Verify the following warning indicators are
working correctly:
• Charging.
• Turn signals.
• Headlamps.
5. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool.
Configuration of the Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster is a programmable module,
which must be configured by selecting the
Programmable Module Installation Routine on the
Ford approved diagnostic tool.
NOTE: When the new instrument cluster has been
configured with the odometer value, its
configuration cannot be decreased or matched. A
new configuration will result in an increase in the
displayed odometer value by a minimum of two
units.
NOTE: The odometer value must be recorded from
the original instrument cluster before removal.
If the odometer value cannot be obtained from
the original instrument cluster (display failure)
the customer should supply the approximate
value.
The following features will need to be configured
when a new instrument cluster is installed:
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
• All wheel drive
• Keyless vehicle entry
• Electronic power assisted steering
• Trip computer
• Voice control
• Parking aid
• Belt minder
• Safety belt not fastened
• Right hand drive
• Overspeed warning
• Reverse warning
• Turbocharger boost pressure
• Speed control
• Auxiliary heater
• Suspension control
• Washer fluid sensor G1054964en

Oil Change Indicator Reset
1.
Turn the ignition key to position II without
cranking the engine.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the accelerator
pedal and the brake pedal for approximately 15
seconds until the oil change reminder indicator
starts to flash or the "Service Oil Reset
Complete" message appears in the information
and message center (if equipped).
3. Release the pedals.
4. Check that the oil change reminder indicator
has turned off or that there is no "Service Oil"
message in the information and message center
(if equipped). If the oil change reminder indicator
is still illuminated or the "Service Oil" message
is still displayed, turn the ignition key to position
0 and repeat the procedure from Step 1. If it has
turned off or the "Service Oil" message has
disappeared, proceed to Step 5.
5. Turn the ignition key to position 0 and leave it
there for at least 2 minutes so that the
powertrain control module (PCM) fully powers
down and updates the non-volatile memory
(NVM) in the PCM.
6. Turn the ignition key to position II without
cranking the engine and check that the oil
