The GEM switches the direction indicators and the
direction indicator side repeaters on.
The GEM sends a signal to the instrument cluster
via the CAN bus to switch on the relevant turn
indicator and the acoustic signal.
The signals from the hazard flasher switch and
from the multifunction switch are transmitted to the
GEM via a wiring connection.
The turn signals and the warning lamp flash at a
specified frequency and, in the case of failure of a
turn signal, the frequency is doubled.
The turn signal lamps also have a one-touch lane
change function. If the multifunction lever is
pressed just slightly then the relevant turn signal
lamp is actuated 3 times by the GEM.
Interior lighting
Depending on the vehicle specification, the interior
lighting includes:
• Left and right-hand footwell lamps
• Overhead lights at front and rear
Depending on the vehicle specification, the
switchable interior lighting includes:
• Map lights
• Mirror lights in sun visors
• Glove compartment lamp
• Luggage compartment lamp
The front and rear overhead lights are switched on
by the GEM. The interior lighting is switched on if one of the
following conditions is satisfied:
One of the vehicle's doors is opened.
The ignition key is in the "0" or "I" position and the
vehicle is unlocked.
The ignition key is turned from the "II" to the "I" or
"0" position.
The interior lighting is switched off when all of the
doors are closed and one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
• 25 seconds have elapsed since the last door
was closed.
• The ignition key is turned from the "0" or "I" to the "II" position.
• The ignition key is in the "0" or "I" position while the vehicle is locked.
The dimmer function is not used if the interior
lighting is switched off via the battery protection
function.
Heated windscreen
The heated windshield is switched on by the GEM
under the following conditions:
• The heated windshield switch is operated, the ignition switch is in position "II" and the charge
warning lamp is switched off.
• The "Defrost" function of the two-zone air conditioning has been activated, the ignition
switch is in the position "II" and the charge
warning lamp is off.
• The battery voltage has exceeded 16 V for more
than 20 seconds (power management strategy).
Manual requests for switching off the heated
windshield by pressing the switch 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 windshield by pressing
the switch are accepted.
NOTE: If the battery voltage returns to the normal
range, the disabling of the heated windshield is
switched off. It is then switched off.
The heated windshield is switched off by the GEM
under the following conditions: G1030788en

System Operation
Electronic principle of operation
The power steering module requires the following
information in order to ensure precise steering
behavior in all driving situations:
• Steering wheel position
• Rate of turn of the steering wheel
• Vehicle speed
• Information about the vehicle configuration
• Information about the ignition switch position
• Instantaneous engine operating status
The required information is made available to the
power steering module via direct connections and
via the CAN bus (refer to the flow chart).
The steering wheel position and the rate of turn of
the steering wheel are transmitted to the power
steering module as PWM signals from the steering
angle sensor. The steering angle sensor receives
its voltage and ground supply from the power
steering module and operates inductively with an
input voltage of 5 V.
The vehicle speed is made available to the power
steering module as a CAN bus signal from the ABS
module or ESP module. The engine operating status is made available to
the power steering module as a CAN bus signal
from the PCM.
The power steering module obtains the vehicle
configuration information via the CAN bus from the
GEM. This information is required by the power
steering module in order to define the internal
characteristics of the power steering.
The power steering module obtains information
about the current ignition switch position via the
voltage input (terminal 15) of the ignition switch.
Whilst constantly monitoring the relevant input
signals the power steering module accesses stored
maps. With the aid of this information the pump
speed is matched to the current driving situation.
An electronic diagnosis of the electro-hydraulic
power steering can be performed with the aid of a
diagnostic tester via the DLC of the vehicle. For
additional information please refer to "Diagnosis
and Testing" in this section.

System Operation
Turbocharger(s)
The TC consists of a turbine and a compressor.
The turbine is driven by the exhaust gas flow. A
common shaft drives the compressor and this then
compresses the intake air.

The size of the TC is designed to produce a charge
effect even at medium engine speeds and lower
exhaust gas flows. This means that, when the engine speed is high and there is a large amount
of exhaust gas, either the boost pressure of the
TC will become too high or its speed will be too
high. The TC must therefore be regulated. The
best regulation is achieved by an electronically
controlled wastegate control valve. The wastegate
control valve controls the pressure on the
membrane in the boost pressure regulator.
The wastegate control valve is actuated by the
PCM with a PWM signal according to a map. The
boost pressure is applied to the wastegate control
valve via the pressure line from the compressor.
This pressure is passed to the boost pressure
regulator via the wastegate control valve. This
opens the bypass valve using a linkage. This
channels a portion of the exhaust gases around
the turbine. If the wastegate control valve is
actuated by the PCM, a bypass is opened in the
wastegate control valve. This causes the pressure
which can act on the membrane in the boost
pressure regulator to be reduced. This occurs until
the boost pressure has reached a set value. By
actuation with a PWM signal, it is also possible to
partially open or close the wastegate control valve.
This results in a constant boost pressure and
therefore high torque over a wide range of engine
speeds.
Because the PCM calculates the boost pressure
using the signal from the boost pressure sensor
and the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor, the
atmospheric pressure and the temperature are
automatically compensated for. Because of this
compensation, the engine power is not noticeably
affected by variations in atmospheric temperature
or pressure.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
E65160
The PCM communicates with all engine sensors
and the other modules. Communication of the PCM
with the other modules and the system diagnostics
takes place via the CAN (controller area network)
data bus.
The following functions are regulated or controlled
by the PCM:
• Fuel supply to the engine including lambdacontrol
• Ignition setting including knock control
• Idle speed control
• Control of optimum valve timing via the camshaft adjustment for intake and exhaust camshafts
• The refrigerant compressor is controlled by the air conditioning clutch relay and the delivery of
the refrigerant compressor is controlled by a
PWM (pulse width modulation) signal.
• Control of EVAP purge valve
• Boost pressure control
• Control of the cooling fan
• Charging system (Smart Charge)
• Starting system (Smart Start)
If the PCM is isolated from the vehicle electrical
system or the battery is disconnected, the throttle
control unit mustbe initialized.
The PCM is fitted in the engine compartment in the
air filter housing. On right hand drive vehicles a
protective metal plate is also installed to prevent
the plug connector from being pulled off, or make
it harder to pull off, in case of theft. The protective
plate is secured with a shear bolt. The shear bolt
needs to be drilled out in order to remove the
protective plate.
Knock Sensor
E96986
Two KSs are fitted. They are on the cylinder block,
one close to the 2nd cylinder and one close to the
4th cylinder.
When fitting, adhere strictly to the specified
tightening torque, otherwise the KS will not work
properly.
If the signal from one or both KS is implausible or
absent, knock control is deactivated. The PCM
switches to an ignition map that is further away
from the knock limit. As a result, engine damage
caused by combustion knock is avoided. If a fault
occurs, a fault code is stored in the error memory
of the PCM.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
E89993
If one or both CMP sensors fail, a fault is saved in
the error memory of the PCM and the camshaft
adjustment and knock control are deactivated.

Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
E89994
The CKP sensor can be checked during starting
by measuring the resistance and/or voltage with
the oscilloscope.
The engine cannot work without the CKP signal.
A limp-home mode is therefore not possible. The
engine is switched off or the engine will not start
and a fault is stored in the error memory of the
PCM.
Camshaft adjuster solenoid valve
E96870
For work on the camshaft adjuster solenoids,
extreme cleanliness must be ensured as even
slight impurities can result in failure. The camshaft
adjustment solenoids for the intake and exhaust
camshafts differ only in terms of the position of the
fastening point by which they are fixed to the
cylinder head cover.
If a fault is detected in the camshaft adjustment
solenoids, the solenoids are no longer actuated.
Manifold absolute pressure and
temperature sensor
E96146
During installation of the MAPT sensor, correct
sealing must be ensured to ensure that no
infiltrated air can penetrate into the intake manifold
from outside.
If the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
fails, the PCM operates with a substitute value.
Accelerator pedal position (APP)
sensor
E74146
The APP (accelerator pedal position) sensor
comprises two separate sensors.
