DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Wipers and Washers
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
59 , Generic Electronic Module for schematic and connector
information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 81 , Interval Wiper/Washer for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
Multifunction Wipers
The front wiper/washer feature controls the speed of the front windshield wipers and the amount of
washer fluid sprayed on the front windshield when requested by the customer. There are five (5) wiper
modes: OFF, LOW, HIGH, INTERVAL, and WASH.
Wiper Motor Speeds HIGH and LOW
There are two wiper speeds, HIGH and LOW. When the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in
the RUN or ACC states, and the GEM detects a high or low speed request from the wiper mode
circuits, the GEM will activate the wiper ON and OFF and the wiper speed circuits accordingly.
Wiper Motor Speeds Interval
There are one to seven wiper speed intervals, ranging from 1.5 seconds to 20 seconds in delay time
respectively, which can be selected. When the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in the RUN
or ACC states, and the GEM detects an interval selection of 1 through 7 from the delay/wash circuits, the GEM will activate the wiper ON and OFF and the wiper speed circuits accordingly. SECTION 501-

Washers
When the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in RUN or ACC states, and the GEM detects a
WASH request from the wiper delay/wash circuits, the GEM will activate the washer pump relay circuit
for as long as the request is present up to 10 seconds.
Activation of the washer pump when in INTERVAL or OFF is delayed until a wash request is active for
a minimum amount of time. In this scenario, the wash request must be present continuously for at least
210 ms. This allows a wash request that is present for less than 210 ms, to provide additional
functionality by initiating a single wipe, called "mist wipe". The mist wipe function is a single wipe at low
speed without activating the washer motor.
When in LOW or HIGH, any WASH request, regardless of the length of time it is present, will activate
the washer pump. When in INTERVAL or OFF mode, upon deactivation of the washer motor, this
feature shall provide two wipes at low speed before returning to the INTERVAL or OFF state as
defined by the inputs. These additional wipes are provided to clear residual washer fluid from the front
windshield.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the wiper/washer system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the
diagnostic tool menu. If diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
zCheck that the program card is correctly installed.
z Check the connections to the vehicle.
z Check the ignition switch position.
4. If diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.
5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If diagnostic tool responds with: zCKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Section 418 -
00 .
z NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED for GEM, go to Pinpoint Test A.
z SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs),
erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self- test diagnostics for the GEM.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Safety Belt System
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies include retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle
support assemblies (slide bar, if so equipped), shoulder belt height adjuster (if equipped), child
safety seat tether bracket assemblies (if equipped) and attaching hardware should be inspected
after any collision. Ford recommends new safety belt assemblies be installed unless a qualified
technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Safety belt assemblies
not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either
damage or incorrect operation is noted.
WARNING: Each seating position in the vehicle has a specific safety belt assembly which
consists of one buckle and one tongue. The safety belt assembly is designed to be used as a
pair and is not to be used across seating positions.
A continuous- loop, single retractor active restraint system is used on this vehicle for both the front
seats and the rear seats.
Safety Belt, Lap/Shoulder— Dual Locking Mode
WARNING: Rear- facing infant seats should never be placed in the front seats. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
The dual locking mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder safety belt
for the front seat passenger and rear seat outboard passengers operates in two ways:
1. In the vehicle- sensitive (emergency locking) mode, the shoulder belt retractor will allow the
occupant freedom of movement, locking tightly only on hard braking, hard cornering or impacts
of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more. The front and rear outboard safety belt retractors can
also be made to lock by pulling/jerking on the belt.
2. In the automatic locking mode, the shoulder belt retractor locks automatically and remains locked when the combination lap/shoulder safety belt is buckled, restricting occupant
movement. This mode provides tight lap/shoulder belt fit on the occupant and on a child safety
seat or infant carrier installation restraint.
When the combination lap/shoulder belt is unbuckled and allowed to retract completely, the retractor
switches to the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat on the front passenger
seat and rear outboard seats where dual locking retractors are provided.
Safety Belt Warning System
The safety belt warning indicator illuminates and a chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten
their safety belts.
The conditions of operation for the safety belt warning indicator and chime are as follows:
zIf the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to ON, then the safety
belt warning indicator illuminates for one to two minutes and the warning chime sounds for four
to eight seconds.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Diagnostic Instructions —
Air Bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS)
The symptom chart can be used to help locate the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS)
concerns if no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are retrieved and the listed symptoms are observed.
Whether or not the listed symptoms are observed, always perform the following.
1. Retrieve all DTCs stored in the restraints control module (RCM) memory. Refer to Retrieve/Clear Continuous DTCs in this section.
2. Run the On- Demand Self Test to determine what DTCs are currently being sensed by the
restraints control module (RCM) (14B321). Refer to On- Demand Self Test in this section.
3. If the stored DTCs are different than the current DTCs, always repair the current DTCs first.
4. If memory displays different continuous DTCs than the On- Demand Self-Test, perform in the
following order:
z On- Demand Self- Test.
z Memory (Retrieve/Clear Continuous DTCs).
A DTC can indicate several concerns. The DTCs are to assist in system diagnosis and are not to be
considered definitive. Always refer to the pinpoint test corresponding to the DTC to determine where
the concern lies and to repair the concern correctly.
The SRS diagnostics can be divided into three sections.
zDiagnostic test modes
z PID/data monitor and record
z Active command modes

Pinpoint Test B: LFC 21/DTC B1921 —
RCM Bracket Ground Resistance High
Normal Operation
WARNING: The tightening torque of the restraints control module (RCM) retaining bolts is
critical for proper air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) operation. Refer to Restraints Control Module (RCM) in this section for correct torque values.
The restraints control module (RCM) monitors the resistance between the ground connections at its
housing and the reference ground at pin 21. If the RCM detects a resistance greater than 100 ohms, it
will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1921 in memory and flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 21 (or
higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
High resistance between the RCM housing ground and pin ground can be caused by:
zincorrect seating of the RCM retaining bolts.
z incorrect tightening torque of the RCM retaining bolts.
