box (CJB). If only one or two of the following
warning indicators are not operating
correctly this may indicate an instrument
cluster concern. Verify the following warning indicators are
working correctly:
• Charging.
• Turn signals.
• Headlamps.
5. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool.
Configuration of the Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster is a programmable module,
which must be configured by selecting the
Programmable Module Installation Routine on the
Ford approved diagnostic tool.
NOTE: When the new instrument cluster has been
configured with the odometer value, its

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

System Operation
Anti-theft warning system
Three anti-theft alarm systems are available,
depending on the market and model version:
• The system with perimeter monitoring detects whenever the doors, the hood, the folding rear
window and the liftgate are opened.
• The system with perimeter and interior monitoring in addition detects unauthorised
access, for example, through a broken window.
• A Thatcham category I anti-theft alarm system (mainly for the British market) is fitted with a
horn that has its own battery power supply; it
also uses slightly different detection strategies.
The anti-theft alarm system outputs an acoustic
and visual signal if unauthorised persons attempt
to gain access to the vehicle.
As a visual warning, the system switches on the
hazard warning lights, whilst the acoustic warning
is done with the anti-theft alarm system horn or the
horn with its own battery power supply.
When the ignition is switched off, the anti-theft
alarm system is activated 20 seconds after any
latch is activated, i.e. the hood, all doors, the
folding rear window and the liftgate are alarmed,
provided that they are fully closed. If the hood, one of the doors, the folding rear
window or the liftgate is not completely closed, it
can be opened without the alarm being triggered
since the system was not activated.
The anti-theft alarm system can be switched off by
unlocking the vehicle either via the remote controls
or the door lock.
NOTE:
To switch off the alarm on a Thatcham
category I anti-theft alarm system, the ignition must
be switched on within 12 seconds of the door being
unlocked with the key.
If the folding rear window or the liftgate is opened
via the remote control, the anti-theft alarm system
blocks the trigger for the alarm system or the
interior monitoring (if fitted) for 20 seconds after
closing.
NOTE: If a window is not fully closed, there is a
risk that a false alarm will be triggered. G1065780en

a diagnostic tester.
The following components can be replaced
separately or as a unit:
• Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
• ABS/ESP module
• Mounting Bracket
The following must be taken into account when
removing/installing or renewing the ABS/ESP
module or the hydraulic control unit (HCU):
• Only hydraulic control units (HCU) which are pre-filled with brake fluid are available for
service operations.
• After replacing the HCU it is not necessary to bleed the system via the diagnostic tester.
• After replacing the brake fluid it is also only necessary to perform standard bleeding.
• The blanking caps/plugs must not be removed until the brake tubes are ready to be connected. • If accidentally dropped or knocked install a new
hydraulic control unit (HCU) and module
assembly.
• When the ABS/ESP module is removed/installed or replaced, it is necessary to reconfigure the
ABS/ESP module with the aid of the diagnostic
tester once all of the installation work has been
performed.
Refer to: Module Configuration (418-01 Module
Configuration, General Procedures).

If one of the two APP sensors fails, then only a
proportion of the engine's power will be available
when accelerating. Top speed can nevertheless
be achieved.
If both of the APP sensors fail, the engine is
regulated to a defined speed following a plausibility
check after the BPP (brake pedal position) switch
and brake light switch have been actuated once.
The vehicle can then only be accelerated to a
defined speed.
In either case, a fault is saved in the error memory
of the PCM.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor
E94804
The ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor is
designed as an NTC (negative temperature
coefficient) resistor.
If the signal from the ECT sensor fails, the cooling
fan is on all the time and the A/C (air conditioning)
is turned off. When the ignition is switched on, the
value from the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor
is read. When the engine is running, the
temperature is calculated using a temperature map
stored in the PCM according to how long the
engine has been running. This substitute value is
then used as the basis for calculating the injected
fuel quantity and the ignition timing.

Starting process
The PCM enables the starting process when a key
providing a valid code is read via the PATS.
Refer to:Starting System (303-06 Starting System
- 2.5L Duratec (147kW/200PS) - VI5, Description
and Operation).
Alternator control (Smart Charge)
The vehicle is fitted with a Smart Charging charge
system.
In this system, the charge voltage is regulated by
the PCM.
Refer to: Generator (414-02 Generator and
Regulator, Description and Operation).
Component Description
PCM
E73522
A voltage transformer integrated into the PCM
provides various components of the PCM and
sensors on the engine with a 5 volt supply.
Functions which work at battery voltage, such as
the injectors, are controlled via internal power end
stages or, like the ignition coils, via external power
end stages in the ignition coils themselves.
CMP
E89993
The intake and exhaust camshafts each have a
sensor installed on them.
The CMP sensor is realized as a Hall effect sensor
and is provided by the PCM with a 5 volt supply.
The Hall effect sensor emits a signal when the
pulse segments incorporated into the sensor wheel
rotate past the tip of the sensor. If an increase
occurs in the area of the sensor, the PCM receives
a 'high' signal with a maximum voltage of 4.5V. If
a gap occurs in the area of the sensor, a 'low'
signal is sent to the PCM. Here the voltage is
approx. 0.5V.
CKP sensor
E89994
The CKP sensor utilizes the induction principle. A
sinusoidal voltage is sent to the PCM. When
performing a voltage test, ensure that the CKP
sensor is connected to the engine wiring harness
This is necessary, otherwise the sensor will not be
subjected to any load and incorrect measurements
will result.
