Body Repair Health and Safety and General Precautions
General
Appropriate repair methods and carrying out repair
and paint jobs correctly is particularly important to
the operating safety of vehicles and the safety of
people.
WARNING: There is danger of injury
through:
• High voltage when electrical welding. – Do not perform welding work in a dampenvironment or on a wet substrate. Use
suitable insulation underneath.
• Welding spatter and UV radiation. – Wear protective clothing, gloves and weldingmask or welding goggles.
• Fire, explosion and hot surfaces in the work area.
– Always have a suitable fire extinguisheravailable when using welding or heating
equipment.
– Remove flammable substances from the danger area. Remove the fuel tank and fuel
pipes and hoses.
– Welding and grinding near the battery presents the danger of explosion. Remove
the battery before you start working.
– During paint work there is an increased danger of fire or explosion. Prevent any
sparks being created. Fire, open light and
smoking are forbidden.
– Always ventilate the workplace well and use an extraction system.
– Wear protective footwear made from anti-static material.
– Only use tools made of wood, brass or copper to clean stands and extraction ducts.
Do not use tools made of steel.
– Only fill or decant paint materials in a specially marked area. • Inhalation and/or absorption through the skin of
harmful substances.
– Welding fumes grinding dusts and solventvapours can be extremely harmful to the
health.
– Sealants, underbody protection and paint residues must not be burnt down with an
unshielded flame, as this will produce harmful
substances.
– Always ventilate the workplace well and use an extraction system.
– Wear protective clothing.
• Pyrotechnic components. – Disconnect the battery negative clamp andcover the battery terminal.
– Remove any airbag components.
• Noise – Cutting, grinding and alignment work cancause a noise level over 85 dB (A).
– Always wear ear protection.
• High Forces. – The various body areas are subject to veryhigh forces during realignment work. Should
any component suddenly become detached
during this process, there is a very great
danger of injury.
– Pulling chains and pulling shackles must be secured with arrester cables.
As well as these general instructions on the
dangers in body and paint shops, you must
observe:
• All valid local national and international regulations governing Health and Safety at Work
• Safety instructions of material equipment and tool manufacturers

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. NOTE: If none of the following warning indicators are operating correctly this may
indicate a concern with the central junction
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
configuration cannot be decreased or matched. A
new configuration will result in an increase in the
displayed odometer value by a minimum of two
units.
NOTE: The odometer value must be recorded from
the original instrument cluster before removal.
If the odometer value cannot be obtained from
the original instrument cluster (display failure)
the customer should supply the approximate
value.
The following features will need to be configured
when a new instrument cluster is installed:
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
• All wheel drive
• Keyless vehicle entry
• Electronic power assisted steering
• Trip computer
• Voice control
• Parking aid
• Belt minder
• Safety belt not fastened
• Right hand drive
• Overspeed warning
• Reverse warning
• Turbocharger boost pressure
• Speed control
• Auxiliary heater
• Suspension control
• Washer fluid sensor G1054964en

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.
