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

Component Description
Interior scanning sensors
The interior monitoring is an additional security
system that triggers the alarm if unauthorised
access to the vehicle is detected in the area of the
windows.
The transceivers work ultrasonically. The
transmitter transmits at a specific frequency into
the monitoring area. The receiver receives the
corresponding echo signal. Here, the signals are
converted into digital values and compared with
the values from the signals received previously. If
there are significant differences between the two,
a trigger signal is sent to the GEM.
As the period during which no movement is
detected increases, so the sensitivity of the sensors
increases.
Anti-theft alarm horn with integral battery
A special horn is installed for vehicles that have to
comply with the Thatcham category I (CAT 1)
insurance standard. This horn has its own voltage
supply from an integrated battery. This ensures that the alarm horn will still be
powered even if the vehicle battery has been
disconnected.

Battery charging (Smart Charge)
In addition to the familiar functions, the Smart
Charge system also performs the following
functions:
•
Automatic deactivation of non-critical high power
electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is low in order to reduce the level of current
drawn.
• Automatic activation of non-critical high power electrical consumers when the battery voltage
is excessively high in order to protect
components which are sensitive to increased
voltages.
The battery charging current is optimized through
continuous calculation of the battery temperature
and monitoring of the alternator output voltage.
The alternator load is signaled to the PCM
(powertrain control module) in order to provide it
with an early indication when an electric component
is to be switched on or off, thereby also providing
information about imminent changes to the amount
of torque demanded by the alternator. By
evaluating this information the PCM is capable of
increasing the stability of the engine under idling.
The two remaining functions of the Smart Charge
system are controlled by the GEM. G1030788en
