Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 419-10, for
schematic and connector information.
Special Tool(s) / General Equipment
Terminal Probe Kit
418-S035Digital multimeter
Ford approved diagnostic tool
Description of operation
A diagnosis of the generic electronic module (GEM)
can be performed with the Ford approved
diagnostic tool. 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
• Close the doors.
Activate service mode
Proceed as follows to activate service mode:
• PRESS and HOLD the switch of the heated rear
window
• SWITCH ON the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
A signal sounds and the turn signal lamps
illuminate to indicate that service mode has been
successfully activated.
NOTE: If the alarm is armed (in vehicles fitted with
an anti-theft alarm system), service mode cannot
be activated.
Input signals
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: • Turn signals (right, left, hazard warning lights)
• Windshield wiper stage I
• Windshield wiper stage II
• Windshield washer system
• Rear window wiper
• Rear window washer system
• Doors open/closed
• Door key cylinder set/reset switch
• Remote control for central locking with double
locking
• Hood up/down (in vehicles fitted with anti-theft alarm system)
• Tailgate open/closed
• Mini liftgate open/closed
• Manual A/C request signal
• Manual AUX heater request signal
• Heated windshield (if fitted)
• Parking brake
• Brake fluid level
• Cruise control system
• Autolamps
• Dipped beam
• Main beam
• Headlamp flasher
• Side lights
• Reversing lamp
• Tailgate release
• Mini liftgate release
• Interior scanning system
• Ignition switch, terminal 15 (turn key to 0 position, then turn key to II position.)
An acoustic signal sounds and the turn signal
lamps flash to indicate receipt of each input signal
by the generic electronic module.
Test the windshield wiper "intermittent mode" stage
input signal (only vehicles with adjustable
intermittent mode)
The windshield wiper switch must be switched to
"intermittent mode" in order to test the input signal.
The delay times of the input signals can then be
tested by operating the rotary switch. Each change
of the rotary switch position is indicated by an
acoustic signal and illumination of the turn signals. G1055084en
