System Operation
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster contains analog displays
as well as warning and control lamps for displaying
the system status; in addiiton, there is an LCD
indicator field for driver information.
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the PCM via the high speed CAN
(controller area network) Bus (HS-CAN):
• Vehicle speed – The PCM receives the necessary signalsfrom the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel
sensors from the ABS control unit on the
HS-CAN.
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine oil pressure.
• Engine speed
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the GEM via the medium speed CAN
Bus (MS-CAN):
• Ambient temperature
• Brake fluid level
• Handbrake control
• Door latch control
• Liftgate latch control
• High beam control
• Headlamp flasher control
• Direction indicator control
The fuel level signal is sent by the two fuel level
sensors in the fuel pumps in the semitrailer tank,
which is wired to the instrument cluster. The
sensors are connected in series, and the total
resistance is determined from the two individual resistors. The instrument cluster converts the raw
fuel level signal into a damped fuel level value.
The odometer shows the total distance travelled
by the vehicle and is based on the same signal as
is processed for the daily mileage counter. The
value is recorded by the instrument cluster and
stored in a protected EEPROM (Electronically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) area.
This area is a memory protected against
manipulation. If the instrument cluster detects an
error in this memory area, e.g. through damage,
the driver is notified with the "Odometer error"
message.
Message center
The message center is operated using the left-hand
switch on the steering column.
The SET/RESET button is activated to select a
submenu and change the settings. If signal tones
have been activated, a short acoustic signal will
sound each time a button is pressed.
By turning the rotary switch, the different menu
displays can be scrolled through or a setting
selected.
In this display, the navigation system can also
display direction and distance information.
In addition, safety and warning messages can be
displayed in this system, such as "Coolant
overheating", "Engine system error" or "Washer
fluid level too low". In addition to a safety message,
a general warning light (red/yellow) lights up.

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

Horn
Principles of Operation
The horn system consists of a relay, a steering
wheel switch and either one or two horns. The
horn(s) receives voltage from the switched side of
the relay, and the relay switch is controlled on its
ground side by the steering wheel switch.
The horn relay, is located in the Battery junction
box (BJB) and is supplied with a permanent voltage
from the battery.
The steering wheel horn switch shares the steering
wheel clockspring circuit with the air-bag circuit.
Each of these systems work completely
independent of each other.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern.
2.
Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical
or electrical damage.

System Operation
In-car entertainment
The audio system is connected to the MS CAN
network and uses an internal amplifier which
directly drives the system speakers. It can only be
operated via the head unit and the radio remote
control. The head unit is connected to the vehicle
on the medium speed CAN bus. This allows the
unit to be interrogated for diagnostic purposes.
The automatic volume control (AVC) adjusts the
audio volume depending on the driving speed. The
audio device receives the necessary signals for
the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel sensors
from the instrument cluster on the MS-CAN. As
vehicle speed increases the audio level is adjusted
to compensate for extra road and vehicle noise.
Eight AVC settings are possible.
To choose the setting for automatic volume control,
press the MENU button until the AVC display
appears.
The required adjustment level is determined by the
Infotainment control unit based on the driving
speed signal. The vehicle speed signal is received
over the CAN. The signal is an average of the four
wheel speed sensor signals. Should an invalid
speed signal be received the AVC will not alter the
output volume.
AVC is controlled by the audio amplifier. Component Description
Vehicles with standard audio system
The standard audio system can only be used via
the head unit, the radio remote control and the
mobile electronic accessories module.

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
