System Operation
Smart Start
The PCM enables the starting process when a key
providing a valid code is read via the PATS. This
code is then verified in the GEM and compared
with the saved code. If this code is recognized as
correct, synchronization with other modules is
carried out. After successful synchronization, the
engine is cleared to start in the PCM. The PCM
connects earth to the starter relay, which then
connects power to the starter solenoid. As soon
as the engine reaches a certain speed, the PCM
disconnects the starter relay and so turns off the
starter. This protects the starter.
If the engine does not turn or turns only slowly, the
starting process is aborted by the PCM.
The starter is notactivated if:
• the engine is running (i.e. the engine speed is above a particular value),
• the PATS does not permit the engine to be started,
• the clutch pedal is not operated (vehicles with manual transmission),
• the gear selector level is not set to P or N (vehicles with automatic transmission),
• the brake pedal is not operated (vehicles with automatic transmission).
Emergency starting function
If the keyless vehicle system is unable to recognize
the passive key, the vehicle can be started via the
emergency starting function. In this case, there is a passive key mount on the
steering wheel. A PATS transmission/reception
unit is attached to this.
To start the engine, the passive key must be
inserted into the passive key mount. The Start/Stop
button can then be used to turn on the ignition and
start the engine as normal. To deactivate the
PATS, a transponder is fitted in the passive key,
which is read by the transmission/reception unit.

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.

The APP sensor is a double contactless inductive
sensor. The APP sensor is integrated with the
accelerator pedal in the accelerator pedal module.
The inductive sensor essentially works in a similar
way to a transformer. The incoming DC voltage
first has to be converted into AC voltage.
Depressing the accelerator pedal moves a rotor.
This induces the AC voltage from the primary coil
into the secondary coil. The strength of the
induction depends on the position of the rotor:
• no accelerator-pedal actuation: low induction, i.e. low amplitude of the AC voltage,
• full accelerator-pedal actuation: high induction, i.e., high amplitude of the AC voltage.
To allow the PCM to process the AC voltage signal
output by the secondary coil, the signal must first
be converted into a PWM signal in the sensor
electronics.
In the APP sensor the signals are split as follows:
– APP 1 = PWM signal to the GEM and from there via the CAN data bus to the PCM.
– APP 2 = the analogue DC (direct current) signal is sent directly to the PCM.
Both signals are monitored by the PCM for
plausibility.
CPP sensor
E70695
The sensor works on the Hall-effect principle and
records the position of the piston in the master
cylinder without contact. The permanent magnet
required for recording the position is located in the
piston of the clutch master cylinder.
The signal from the CPP sensor is recorded by the
GEM and transmitted to the CAN via the PCM bus.
BPP switches
E94800
The BPP switch is designed as normally-closed
contact. In its rest state the switch is closed and
sends an earth signal to the GEM.
The brake light switch is designed as
normally-open contact and is open in its rest state.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

select-shift switch module transmits a downshift
signal to the TCM.
If you move the gear selector lever backwards (+),
an upshift signal is transmitted to the TCM. In the
instrument cluster, the symbol when the selector
lever is in the 'S' position changes from 'D' to the
current gear, for example 3.
The TCM transmits a signal to the select-shift
switch module to switch on the light emitting diode
for 'S' and to switch off all other light emitting
diodes. The TCM decides whether the shift process
is possible.
If the shift process is permitted, then the various
valves are activated according to the intended
combination for each gear.
In certain situations however, the TCM determines
the gear shifting. The following applies:
• If the vehicle is stationary, only 1st, 2nd and 3rdgears can be selected. 4th gear can be selected
at speeds over 30 km/h and 5th gear at speeds
over 40 km/h.
• The kickdown function is only available in the automatic transmission range 'D'
• Automatic gear changes into the next higher or next lower gear occur at fixed vehicle speeds
and fixed engine speeds
• The permitted engine speed for manual change down agree with that for the kickdown change
up, i.e. an engine speed of approximately 6000
rpm.
• If the temperature inside the transmission rises too high, the TCM takes control of the shift
decisions in order to select a gear in which
activation of torque converter lockup at the
current speed is possible
• Torque converter lockup is possible in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear. (1st and 2nd gears do not have
torque converter lockup)
The signal that specifies the position of the lever
to the select-shift switch module is generated as
follows in the selector lever position 'S': there is a
Hall sensor at the printed circuit board for the
module for each of the three selector lever
positions. A permanent magnet on the cover in the
selector lever affects the output signals to the
control module from the sensors. The control
module recognizes the position of the lever by the
differences in the signal properties.Selector lever from 'N' to 'R' position
The TCM only permits shifting to reverse gear if
the vehicle speed is less than 4.35 mph.
If the vehicle speed is greater than 7 km/h (approx.
4.35 mph), the clutch (C2) and the multi-plate brake
(B3) are not activated and the gearshift is thus
prevented.
Self-test and Diagnosis
The TCM monitors all the transaxle sensors and
electronic components including the PCM. If a fault
occurs, the driver is informed via a warning
indicator and a text message in the instrument
cluster. Faults are stored as DTCs in the fault
memory of the TCM and can be read out and
cleared using the IDS.
Temperature controlled torque converter
lockup
If heavy load and high ambient temperatures cause
an abnormal rise in the transmission temperature,
torque converter lockup is activated as often as
possible (temperature controlled lockup).
This reduces the slip and the heat developed in
the transmission. When the temperature drops
below +20 °C, torque converter lockup is not used.
Slip locking
When changing gear this function makes it possible
for the gears to engage more smoothly with
reduced vibration and less noise. In this mode, the
torque converter clutch is activated but not fully
locked.
The following conditions must be met for the
function to activate:
• Gear selector lever in position D or S.
• Gear 3, 4 or 5.
• The transmission input speed is 1100 rpm or more and the throttle plate opening 20 - 35%.
• The transmission fluid temperature is 40 - 120 °C.
Hill climbing
The TCM can change the shift pattern slightly when
driving uphill to avoid changing gear too often.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

The TCM detects uphill driving by comparing the
engine load transmitted by the PCM with the engine
speed. If the engine load increases and the engine
speed falls, then the TCM causes the transaxle to
shift to a lower transmission range in order to
increase the traction force.
Downhill driving
The TCM detects downhill driving by comparing
the engine load and engine speed values
transmitted by the PCM with the OSS sensor
signal. In order to prevent overloading of the
vehicle brakes, the TCM causes the transaxle to
shift to a lower transmission range.
Hill-hold function
If the vehicle is stopped on an uphill incline, the
TCM detects this through the faster drop in engine
speed compared with the drop in engine speed
when stopping on the flat. In this situation, the
hydraulics are actuated by the TCM in such a way
that the vehicle is prevented from rolling back. This
function is not used on steep inclines.
If the vehicle is parked on an uphill incline (ignition
switched off), the hill-hold function is not active
when pulling away.
Altitude correction
Lower air density results in reduced engine
performance. In order to compensate for this
operating situation, the TCM changes the shift
points.
Selector lever lock
To prevent the selector lever being accidentally
moved from the P or N position, the vehicle also
has an electrically operated selector lever lock.
This blocks the locking pin in the locking segment
and thus locks the selector lever in the P or N
position.
Shifting from P into another transmission
range
To be able to move the selector lever from P into
another transmission range, the ignition must be
switched on and the brake pedal must be
depressed (stop light switch on). The TCM detects
the position of the brake pedal via the CAN data
bus and the engaged transmission range from the
TR sensor.
The signal is then transferred from the TCM to the
select-shift switch module in order to activate the
solenoid valve in the selector mechanism
assembly.
In position P, the solenoid valve is activated and
the locking pin is pulled in so that the lock button
on the selector lever can be pressed as usual to
engage another transmission range.
In the selector mechanism assembly there is a Hall
sensor which is affected by a permanent magnet
on the gate of the selector mechanism assembly.
If the selector lever is moved from the P position,
both the Hall sensor and the selector lever lock
solenoid are simultaneously deactivated, to prevent
the selector from being kept in the N position.
If the ignition is set to "I" or "0" the solenoid valve
is deactivated. When the selector lever is in the P
position, it is mechanically locked because it has
no voltage.
Shifting from N into another transmission
range
The conditions are the same as for shifting from P
into another transmission range.
However, the lock button on the selector lever must
be pressed to be able to select R or P.

System Operation
Speed Control
Cruise control is integrated into PCM and
intervenes in engine management to automatically
keep to the target speed selected by the driver.
When the system is active, the vehicle can be
accelerated or decelerated without the accelerator
pedal being pressed. Cruise control is operated
using the control switch units on the steering wheel.
The PCM controls the throttle to achieve this. The
ABS module supplies the VSS signal for this.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, the TCM
receives a notification via the CAN (controller area
network) bus that cruise control is active. The TCM
then controls the transmission based on special
engine maps.
Cruise control recognizes three operating modes:
• "OFF": Control is switched off.
• "STANDBY": Control is switched on but not
active. The speed of the vehicle is not regulated
by the cruise control.
• "ACTIVE": Control is switched on and active. Cruise control adjusts the vehicle speed to the
stored or desired target speed.
Every time the engine is started, cruise control is
in the "OFF" mode. In this mode, only the "ON"
button is operable.
Cruise control is initially set to "STANDBY" mode
when the "ON" button is pressed. The green cruise
control indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up. There is no target speed saved.
Cruise control can only be set to "STANDBY" mode
under the following conditions:
• Engine speed is between idle speed and maximum permissible speed. Cruise control can only be changed into "ACTIVE"
mode under the following conditions:
• 2nd - 6th gear engaged.
• Engine speed between idle speed and maximum
permissible speed.
• Vehicle speed at least 40 km/h.
Pressing the "SET+" or "SET-" button activates
cruise control ("ACTIVE" mode). The green "Cruise
control" indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up. The current vehicle speed is saved as
the target.
In "ACTIVE" mode the "OFF", "SET+", "SET-" and
"RES" buttons are active. If the "RES" button is
pressed again, control is suspended. The "RES"
button has a dual function and is used to resume
and suspend the cruise control.
Tapping the "SET+" button (for less than 640 ms)
increases the target speed by 1 km/h at a time.
Holding down the "SET+" button (for longer than
640 ms) increases the target speed until the button
is released. If the button is not released, cruise
control accelerates the vehicle up to the maximum
permissible vehicle speed (200 km/h) or up to the
vehicle's maximum speed (whichever speed is
lower). Tapping the "SET-" button (for less than
640 ms) reduces the target speed by 1 km/h at a
time. When the the "SET-" button is held down, the
control reduces the target speed until the button is
released. If the "SET-" button is held down until
the minimum speed of 40 km/h is reached, cruise
control switches to "STANDBY" mode.
Cruise control is put into "STANDBY" mode when
the "RES" button is pressed. Control to the stored
target speed can be started again by pressing the
"RES" button again. If the "SET+" or "SET-" button
is pressed while the "RES" function is being
performed (control to saved target speed), cruise

control saves the current speed as the target
speed.
Cruise control goes into STANDBY mode in the
following situations:
• Operation of the brake pedal
• Operation of the clutch pedal
• Operation of the parking brake
• If the driver operates the accelerator pedal andthe saved target speed is subsequently
exceeded for more than 5 minutes.
• Pressing any cruise control button for more than 2 minutes
• Intervention by the traction control or electronic stability program (for longer than 40 ms)
• Shifting of the gear selector lever to the "N" position (vehicles with automatic transmission
only)
• Minimum speed falls below 40 km/h.
• Occurrence of particular DTC (diagnostic trouble code)
• faulty signal from the backup lamp switch
Cruise control is switched off when the "OFF"
button is pressed.
If the accelerator pedal is pressed down, the
vehicle speed increases. As soon as the pedal is
released, the speed falls to the saved target value. The following components supply the signals
needed by the cruise control:
• The APP sensor.
– The APP sensor identifies the currentposition of the accelerator pedal and sends
a PWM (pulse width modulation) signal to
the PCM and an analog DC (direct current)
signal to the GEM.
– If one or both of the APP sensors fails, a fault is stored in the PCM fault memory and cruise
control cannot be activated.
• BPP switch – The BPP switch tells the PCM whether thevehicle is being braked. In its rest state the
switch is closed and sends an earth signal
to the GEM. This signal is sent via the CAN
to the PCM.
– The brake light switch is likewise connected to the GEM and is opened in the rest state.
When the vehicle is braked, the brake light
switch sends a signal to the GEM. This
compares the signals from the BPP switch
and the brake light switch. If a discrepancy
occurs, a fault is stored in the error memory
of the GEM. Cruise control cannot be
activated.
• CPP switch – The CPP switch sends a ground signal to theGEM as soon as the clutch is operated. This
signal is passed on by the GEM via the CAN
bus to the PCM. This then supplies the signal
to the cruise control.
– If the CPP switch is incorrectly installed or set, cruise control cannot be activated.
• Wheel speed sensors – The wheel speed sensors record the speedof all the wheels. The recorded speed values
are sent to the ABS module via a hard-wired
connection. The ABS module calculates a
vehicle speed signal (VS signal) from the
speed values and the wheel diameter. This
vehicle speed signal is transferred via the
CAN bus to the PCM and supplied to the
cruise control. If the vehicle speed signal is
faulty, cruise control cannot be activated.

operated. The GEM activates the parking
brake indicator lamp in the instrument cluster.
If the parking brake indicator lamp is lit,
cruise control cannot be activated.
• Back-up light switch – The backup lamp switch is hard-wired to the GEM. The backup lamp switch sends a signal
to the GEM when reverse gear is engaged.
The GEM activates the reversing lamp.

The cruise control buttons are non-locking push
buttons. They are connected to the coil spring via
a hard-wired 9-pin plug connection.
The cruise control buttons operate according to
the resistance bridge circuit principle. The buttons
receive a 5 Volt reference voltage. When operated,
each button passes a particular voltage to the
GEM. The GEM measures this voltage and from
it determines which button has been pressed.
The operation of the cruise control buttons can be
checked by a simple measurement of the
resistance between pin 4 and pin 5 at the coil
spring 9-pin connector. A change of resistance
must occur when a button is pressed.
