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

Module Controlled Functions – Overview
Generic electronics module (GEM)
CAUTIONS:
Never swap the GEM (generic electronic
module) between two vehicles.
Compare the number of relays and fuses
in the defective GEM and the new GEM.
Transfer from the defective GEM any relays
and fuses which are not in the new GEM.
In doing so, pay attention that fuses with
the correct Ampere rating are used, by
referring to the wiring diagrams.
NOTE: The GEM is integrated in the CJB (central
junction box) and cannot be replaced as a separate
unit.
For repair work during a service, vehicle-specific
configuration is necessary if a new GEM is
installed.
Emergency function
The GEM is equipped with restricted emergency
running functions on vehicles with mid or high-end
equipment levels.
The microcontroller sends a control signal to a
monitoring function within the GEM at regular
intervals. If the battery voltage falls below a value
of approx. 7.5 volts, this check signal is not present
and the GEM switches to emergency function after
a predetermined time.
In this case, the low beam is permanently switched
on, regardless of the light switch position. The
windshield wiper can only be operated in stage 1;
the wiper switch must however be in the stage I or
II position. The wiper park position is not
recognized. Intermittent wiping is not available.
When the control signal recurs, the GEM switches
back to normal operation.
Service mode
Description of operation
Diagnosis of the GEM can be carried out using the
Ford diagnostic unit. Furthermore, an integrated
service mode enables testing of the input and
output signals without the need for further tools.
To enable activation of service mode: • switch off the ignition,
• switch off all other electrical consumers,
• apply the handbrake,
• Shift to neutral
• and close the doors.
Activating the service mode
NOTE:
If the alarm is activated (in vehicles fitted
with an anti-theft alarm system), service mode
cannot be activated.
Proceed as follows to activate the service mode:
• OPERATE the switch of the heated rear window
and HOLD IT THERE
• SWITCH ON the ignition.
• RELEASE the switch of the heated rear window
A signal sounds and the turn signal lamps come
on to indicate that service mode has been
successfully activated.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

Electrical consumers are switched off when the
battery voltage is low if the GEM determines (as a
result of the message received from the PCM on
the CAN bus via the instrument cluster) that the
battery voltage has dropped below the threshold
value.
When the threshold for low battery voltage is
reached the GEM switches off the following
consumers in this order at intervals of 5 seconds:
• Heated windscreen
• Heated rear window
• Electric booster Heater
• A/C system
If the battery voltage increases back above the
lower threshold then all of the consumers which
were previously switched off are reactivated by the
GEM.
Once the electric consumers have been reactivated
their status is "switched off", i.e. the consumers
are switched off and await an input signal provided
from the relevant switch via the GEM; this means
that the driver needs to switch these components
back on again.
Electrical consumers are switched on when the
battery voltage is excessively high if the GEM
determines that the battery voltage has increased
above the threshold for overvoltage and the
charging system warning indicator has come on.
When the threshold is reached the GEM switches
on the following consumers in this order at intervals
of 5 seconds:
• Heated windscreen
• Heated rear window
When these components are deactivated again
their status is "switched off". This means that the
consumers are waiting for an input signal provided
from the relevant switch via the GEM.
Ignition overload protection
The ignition overload protection intermittently
disconnects certain circuits in order to restrict the
current being drawn from the battery while the
starter motor is operating.
The position of the ignition switch is broadcast by
the instrument cluster on the medium speed CAN
bus.
The ignition overload protection relay which is
integrated in the battery junction box is activated
by the GEM if the message "ignition switch in
position III" is received from the instrument cluster.
All of the electric consumers controlled by the
ignition overload protection relay are then switched
off.
The following consumers (among others) are
controlled by the ignition overload protection relay:
• Fog lamps
• Windscreen/rear window wash/wipe systems
• Backup lamps
• Heated washer nozzles
• Heating blower motor
• Seat heating
Headlamp switch-off delay
The headlamp switch-off delay utilizes the low
beam together with the peripheral lights (if
equipped) to illuminate the area surrounding the
vehicle. The function is activated by operating the
high beam lever when the ignition switch is in the
"0" position.
After the last door has been closed, the function
remains active for a further 30 seconds and then
switches off automatically.
When a door or the tailgate is open, the switch-off
time is extended to 180 seconds. After the last door
has been closed, the switch-off time is reset to 30
seconds.
The headlamp switch-off delay can be deactivated
prematurely by operating the high beam lever again
or by switching on the ignition.
The switch-off time is adjusted to set values at the
factory and cannot be re-programmed using the
Ford diagnostic unit.
