Horn
Principles of Operation
The horn system consists of a relay, a steering
wheel switch and either one or two horns. The
horn(s) receives voltage from the switched side of
the relay, and the relay switch is controlled on its
ground side by the steering wheel switch.
The horn relay, is located in the Battery junction
box (BJB) and is supplied with a permanent voltage
from the battery.
The steering wheel horn switch shares the steering
wheel clockspring circuit with the air-bag circuit.
Each of these systems work completely
independent of each other.

System Operation
Parking Aid WARNING: It is the driver's responsibility
to stay alert during reversing procedures.
The system may fail to detect small
children or animals.
CAUTION: The driver is responsible for
detecting obstacles and judging the
distance between these and the vehicle.
The system may fail to detect some
hanging objects, barriers, narrow obstacles
or painted surfaces, which could damage
the vehicle. Always pay attention when
parking.
The parking aid provides an audible warning to the
driver if there are any obstacles in front of or behind
the vehicle during reverse parking maneuvers.
At low speeds, the parking aid module uses the
parking aid sensors to monitor the area around the
vehicle. If an object is detected within a monitored
area, the parking aid module emits a warning tone
using the respective parking aid speaker.
The rear parking aid is switched on with the
ignition. However, it is only enabled when reverse
gear is selected.
The front and rear parking aid is always switched
off when the ignition is switched on. It is switched
on when reverse gear is selected or if the parking
aid switch in the center console is actuated up to
a speed of 16 km/h.
The parking aid is switched off when the vehicle is
travelling forwards at more than 16 km/h or if the
parking aid switch in the center console is actuated
again.
When the parking aid module activates the system,
the parking aid switch LED is illuminated. If the
vehicle is only fitted with the rear parking aid, there
is no switch.
The parking aid sensors emit a series of ultrasonic
impulses and switch to receiver mode to receive the echo reflected by an obstacle within the
detection range. The received echo signals are
amplified and converted from an analog signal to
a digital signal by the sensor. The digital signal is
passed to the parking aid module and compared
with pre-programmed data stored in an EEPROM
within the module. The module calculates the
distance to the obstacle by measuring the time
taken between the emitted and received impulses.
If no objects are detected there are no further
warning tones. If an object is detected, repeated
audible tones are emitted from either parking aid
speaker(s) as appropriate. The time delay between
the tones decreases as the distance between the
object and the vehicle decreases, until at
approximately 250 mm (10 inches), the audible
tone becomes continuous.
If the distance between the obstacle and the
vehicle does not decrease, the warning tone
remains constant if the object has been detected
by an internal parking aid sensor. If the obstacle
was detected by an external sensor and the
distance remains unchanged, the warning tone
stops after 3 seconds.
The parking aid module continues to monitor the
distance and will resume the warning tones if a
decrease in distance is detected.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, a signal is
sent to the GEM (generic electronic module) via
the trailer relay. This signal is sent to the parking
aid module via the MS CAN bus. When the parking
aid module detects that a trailer is connected to
the vehicle, the rear parking aid sensors are
disabled to prevent constant warnings due to the
close proximity of the trailer.

Parking Aid Camera
For vehicles with a DVD navigation system with a
touch screen, the parking aid camera is supplied
as standard. For vehicles with a standard
navigation system, the camera can be ordered as
an optional extra. The system essentially consists
of a camera with a wide angle lens, a control unit
and a wiring harness which is not integrated in the
vehicle wiring harness.
On the navigation display screen, the drivers sees
a video image of the area behind the vehicle.
Guides integrated in the camera images by the
parking aid camera module and displayed on the
screen help the driver to find out about the steering
angle, vehicle width, cornering and driving straight
ahead. The system generates these guides using:
• Vehicle parameters (length, width)
• Steering Angle
• Vehicle position during the parking maneuverDescription

Front parking aid speaker
The front parking aid speaker, in addition to its
actual function, is also used for audible indication
of various types of error in the front and rear
parking aids when the rear parking aid speaker
fails.
Parking aid switch
The parking aid switch is a non-locking switch with
an integrated LED for switching the parking aid on
and off. When pressed, the parking aid switch
momentarily connects a ground to the parking aid
module. The LED indicates when the parking aid
is active. The LED is controlled by the parking aid
module.
The parking aid switch allows the driver to disable
the parking aid when reverse gear is selected or
to activate the parking aid sensors when not in
reverse gear.
If a high tone is emitted for 3 seconds and the lights
in the switch flash, this indicates that there is a
fault. The system is then deactivated. Parking aid camera module
The data from the optional parking aid is sent to
the module via the Mid Speed CAN data bus. The
signals from the steering angle sensor are sent to
the module via cable. The module is connected to
the navigation device via a video-in/out cable.
Parking Aid Camera
The wide angle lens camera is fixed in the handle
strip of the tailgate. It is connected to the parking
aid camera module via a separate line.

Refer to
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.

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
