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)

Module Controlled Functions – Overview
Generic electronics module (GEM)
CAUTIONS:
Never swap the GEM (generic electronic
module) between two 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.
NOTE: The GEM is integrated in the CJB (central
junction box) and cannot be replaced as a separate
unit.
For repair work during a service, vehicle-specific
configuration is necessary if a new GEM is
installed.
Emergency function
The GEM is equipped with restricted emergency
running functions on vehicles with mid or high-end
equipment levels.
The microcontroller sends a control signal to a
monitoring function within the GEM at regular
intervals. If the battery voltage falls below a value
of approx. 7.5 volts, this check signal is not present
and the GEM switches to emergency function after
a predetermined time.
In this case, the low beam is permanently switched
on, regardless of the light switch position. The
windshield wiper can only be operated in stage 1;
the wiper switch must however be in the stage I or
II position. The wiper park position is not
recognized. Intermittent wiping is not available.
When the control signal recurs, the GEM switches
back to normal operation.
Service mode
Description of operation
Diagnosis of the GEM can be carried out using the
Ford diagnostic unit. 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
NOTE:
If the alarm is activated (in vehicles fitted
with an anti-theft alarm system), service mode
cannot be activated.
Proceed as follows to activate the service mode:
• OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• SWITCH 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.
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:
• 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 fluid level
• Cruise control system
• Autolamps
• Dipped beam
• Main beam
• Headlamp flasher
• Side lights
• Turn signals (right, left, hazard warning lights) G1030787en

System Operation
GEM.
The following functions are controlled or performed
by the GEM at a battery voltage of between 9 and
16 volts:
• Current distribution
• Battery charging (Smart Charge)
• Ignition overload protection
• Headlamp switch-off delay
• Turn signals
• Interior lighting
• Heated windscreen
• Heated rear window and heated external mirrors
• Ambient air temperature
• Brake fluid level
• Automatic headlamps
• Combined rain sensor/light sensor
• Windshield wash/wipe system
• Speed control – reads the speed control switches andtransmits signals on the CAN data bus
• central door locking – transmits signals on the CAN data bus
• Anti-theft
• Electric booster Heater
• Climate control
• Parking brake –(monitors the switch and transmits the signal
on the CAN data bus
• Communication via the medium-speed CAN data bus Component Description
Battery charging (Smart Charge)
In addition to the familiar functions, the Smart
Charge system also performs the following
functions:
•
Automatic deactivation of non-critical high power
electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is low in order to reduce the level of current
drawn.
• Automatic activation of non-critical high power electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is excessively high in order to protect
components which are sensitive to increased
voltages.
The battery charging current is optimized through
continuous calculation of the battery temperature
and monitoring of the alternator output voltage.
The alternator load is signaled to the PCM
(powertrain control module) in order to provide it
with an early indication when an electric component
is to be switched on or off, thereby also providing
information about imminent changes to the amount
of torque demanded by the alternator. By
evaluating this information the PCM is capable of
increasing the stability of the engine under idling.
The two remaining functions of the Smart Charge
system are controlled by the GEM. G1030788en
