Direct Current/Alternating Current (DC/AC) Inverter – Overview
Function indicator
WARNING: For workshop repairs, it is only
permissible to replace the converter as a
complete unit together with the wiring
harness and the socket. The component
must not be opened, as charged capacitors
inside can still carry dangerously high
residual voltages.
The LED in the socket lights up orange when the
converter is supplying a voltage.
In the event of a fault the system switches off and
indicates the cause of the fault by flashing a trouble
code via the LED in the socket:
• 1x flash – High temperature
• 2x flashes – Overload
• 3x flashes – Internal overvoltage
• 4x flashes – Internal undervoltage
• Continuous flashing – Short circuit to power
If the converter switches off due to high
temperature then it switches back on again
automatically once the temperature has cooled
down sufficiently.
With all of the other faults which are displayed, the
converter can be reset by switching the ignition off
and back on again or by unplugging and reinserting
the consumer in the socket.
If these measures are unsuccessful then there are
no further options for directly influencing the
function yourself. G1055637en

Cellular Phone
Refer to
Wiring Diagrams Section 415-00, for
schematic and connector information. General Equipment
Ford diagnostic equipment
Principles of Operation
NOTE: Voice control will only operate with the
audio unit and components required switched ON.
Voice Control
The portable support electronics (PSE) module
has a voice control system. The customer will be
able to push the VOICE button on the audio control
switch located on the steering column lower
shroud, this will activate the PSE module and allow
voice control. An audible tone will be heard through
the audio unit speakers after which, a voice
command can then be spoken into the microphone
located in the overhead console.
The incoming calls and voice confirmation can be
heard through the audio system speakers.
When a voice command is spoken into the
microphone it will be sent as a signal to the PSE
module. The signal is then sent from the PSE
module to the relevant components on the
medium-speed controller area network (CAN) bus
network. The component will then convert the
signal back into the original voice command.
The components that the PSE module interacts
with are as follows:
• audio unit
• navigation system display module
• cellular phone
For additional information on the cellular phone
system, REFER to the cellular phone Owner's
Guide.
Bluetooth
An input can be given through the cellular phone
with or without the cellular phone connected to the
handset holder. Providing that the cellular phone
is one of the recommended cellular phones for the
system, is supplied with the Bluetooth technology
and the cellular phone is programmed to the PSE
module.
When selected as active the Bluetooth technology
is a wireless system that interacts with the relevant component modules through the PSE module. The
general operation of the Bluetooth is similar to the
voice control.
Bluetooth technology cannot transfer the cellular
phone's PHONEBOOK or recent outgoing and
incoming call details to the audio unit or navigation
system display module. If the cellular phone is
placed into the handset holder the PHONEBOOK
data and recent outgoing and incoming call
information will be transferred to the audio unit or
navigation system display module.
For additional information, REFER to the cellular
phone Owner's Guide.
Inspection and Verification
NOTE: Make sure that the cellular phone is
featured on the list of recommended cellular
phones for the system.
Make sure that the PSE module and cellular
phone are configured to each other before
starting a system diagnosis. ENTER the
following PIN number on the cellular phone to
configure the cellular phone to the PSE module:
0000.
Make sure that the MUTE symbol is not
displayed on the audio unit when trying to
operate the cellular phone system. If the MUTE
symbol is displayed, this indicates that the PSE
module requires configuring to the vehicle and
the cellular phone requires programming to the
PSE module. GO to
Pinpoint Test C.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system using the customers cellular phone.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

Page 345 of 2057

The manual headlamp levelling system operates
with an electric motor which is controlled via a
rotary control in the instrument cluster.
Turn signals
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 (controller area network) 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.
Combined rain sensor/light sensor
The ambient light sensor determines the general
light intensity.
For this purpose, it detects the light over as wide
an angle as possible, without taking the direction
of incidence into account.
The front light sensor determines the light intensity
directly in front of the vehicle.
If both the ambient light sensor and the front light
sensor detect a sudden reduction in light intensity
at the same time, then an algorithm-based
calculation is used to determine the fact that the
vehicle has entered a tunnel, a multi-storey car
park or a long underpass.
In this case the request for switching on the
external lighting and the indicator in the instrument
cluster is transmitted to the GEM.
If the vehicle enters into the shade thrown by a
large truck, the two sensors will register different
light intensities.. In this case, the algorithm-based
calculation will not result in the lights being
switched on.
The GEM incorporates a stepped switch-off of the
dipped beam headlamps, side lamps, license plate
illumination and the instrument cluster and
instrument panel illumination. If the ambient light
changes from dark to bright, the GEM first switches
off the low beams. The side lamps, license plate
lamps as well as the instrument cluster and
instrument panel illumination are switched off
approx. 6 seconds after the low beams have been
switched off.
