• 4 minutes have elapsed since the button for the
heated windshield was pressed.
• The ignition switch is turned to the "I" or "0" position.
• The "Defrost" function is deactivated or the switch for the heated windscreen is pressed
again while the heated windscreen is still
switched on.
• The charging system warning indicator is switched on.
• The battery voltage falls below the threshold value for low battery voltage for more than 20
seconds (power management strategy). Manual
requests for switching on the heated windshield
by pressing the switch are ignored at this time.
• More than 4 minutes have passed since starting
the engine.
Heated rear window and heated external
mirrors
The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN
bus to the door modules to switch on the heated
exterior mirrors.
The heated rear window and the heated exterior
mirrors are switched on by the GEM under the
following conditions:
• The switch for the heated rear window is pressed and the ignition switch is in the "II"
position.
• The "defrost" function of the air conditioning is activated and the ignition switch is in the position
"II".
• The battery voltage has exceeded 16 V for more
than 20 seconds (power management strategy).
Manual requests to switch off the heated rear
window by pressing the button are ignored at
this time.
• The engine was started at an outside air temperature below 4°C and an engine
temperature below 65°. Manual requests for
switching off the heated rear window by pressing
the switch are accepted.
NOTE: If the battery voltage returns to the normal
range then the disabling of the heated rear window
is cancelled - the heated rear window is then in a
switched-off state.
The GEM transmits a request signal via the CAN
bus to the door modules to switch off the heated
exterior mirrors. The heated rear window and the heated exterior
mirrors are switched off by the GEM under the
following conditions
• 14 minutes have elapsed since the button for
the heated rear window was pressed.
• The ignition switch is turned to the position "0", "I" or "III".
• The switch for the heated rear window is pressed or the "defrost" function of the air
conditioning is deactivated while the heated rear
window is switched on.
• The battery voltage has dropped below 10.3 V for more than 20 seconds (power management
strategy). Manual requests for switching on the
heated rear window by pressing the switch are
ignored at this time.
• More than 14 minutes have passed since starting the engine.
Ambient air temperature
The ambient air temperature sensor is connected
via a cable to the GEM. It measures the outside
air temperature to an accuracy of around ±0.5 °C.
The GEM broadcasts the ambient air temperature
on the medium speed CAN bus, where it can be
evaluated by various systems.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level switch is connected via a
cable to the GEM.
The GEM transmits a message on the medium
speed CAN bus. The instrument cluster then
transfers this message to the high speed CAN bus
where it is made available for various other
functions.

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.
Left-hand turn signal
b. Right-hand turn signal
c. Main beam
d. Dipped beam
e. Windshield wiper stage I
f. Windshield wiper stage II
g. Heated rear windshield
h. Heater blower motor
i. Headlamp washer system (vehicles with HID headlamps)
j. Electric booster heater (if fitted)
k. Autolamps (position lamps only if fitted)
l. Alarm horn (vehicles with alarm system)
m. Rear window wiper
n. Heated front window relay
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.
End service mode
The GEM automatically ends service mode 20
seconds after the last input or at a driving speed
of over 7km/h. However, service mode can be
manually ended at any time by proceeding as
follows:
• PRESS and HOLD the switch of the heated rear
window
• 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 marker lamps (side lights) and licence plate lamp in
automatic headlamps mode
• Rear wiper
• Headlamp washer assembly
• Electric booster heater • Alarm horn
• 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. SWITCH 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) is
integrated into the central junction box (CJB).
1. VERIFY customer concern.
2. Visually CHECK for any obvious mechanical or electrical damage.
NOTE: Ensure correct locking of the wiring harness
connector.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Overview
Description of operation
The tire pressure monitoring system is able to
detect loss of air in a tire at an early stage and warn
the driver. Because it can only compare the
behavior of the tires with each other, it is not
possible to draw conclusions about the absolute
tire pressure. It is also not possible to monitor the
spare tire pressure. In order for the system to
operate correctly, the tire pressures must be
regularly checked and corrected and the system
subsequently initialized (see below).
The tire pressure monitoring system used here,
depending on the equipment level, is built into the
anti-lock braking system (ABS) as an extra function
and therefore does not have its own sensors.
The ABS module determines the loss of pressure
in the tires by calculation using the wheel speed
sensors of the ABS system. If a tire loses pressure,
its diameter decreases and the speed of the wheel
therefore increases. If the ABS module detects
such a loss in pressure, it sends a signal to the
instrument cluster via the CAN bus and a warning
message is displayed in the driver information
system. The warning threshold depends among
other things on the dimension of the tires being
used, the vehicle operating conditions and the
status at the last initialization. Since neither the
absolute tire pressure nor the position of the tire is
known, after a tire pressure warning the pressure
of all the tires must be checked and the system
re-initialized. If necessary, the cause of the loss of
pressure must be investigated.
Furthermore, regular pressure checks are
necessary. The system must be initialized after a
tire is changed, winter or summer tires fitted, the
pressures corrected or adjusted to suit the vehicle
load. This can be done by the driver using the
driver information system. For further information,
see: Owner’s Manual.
