DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

INTERIOR LIGHTING
NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module
(GEM).
The interior lighting system consists of the following components:
 SJB
 Liftgate/trunk module (LTM) (if equipped)
 Dimmer control switch
 Interior/map lamps
 Puddle lamps
 Cargo lamp
 Vanity mirror lamps
 Door ajar switches
The interior lighting system consists of 2 subsystems:
 Courtesy lamps
 Demand lamps
The courtesy lamps are controlled by the SJB. The SJB supplies voltage to the courtesy lamps. The courtesy
lamp subsystem consists of the interior dome lamps, the overhead console lamps, the cargo lamp, and the
puddle lamps (if equipped).
The SJB supplies voltage to the demand lamps. The demand lamps subsystem consists of the front map lamps,
and the left and right vanity mirror lamps.
The SJB supplies power to the interior lighting system. The SJB and the LTM (if equipped) set DTCs if certain
circuit failures exist with the interior lighting system.

Principles of Operation
NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module
(GEM).
The SJB supplies voltage to the interior lighting system. The interior lighting system illuminates the courtesy
lamps to enhance visibility of the interior while a vehicle door is open or ajar, and the vehicle speed is less than
15 km/h (9 mph) or 5 km/h (3 mph) for puddle lamps. The SJB controls all interior lighting functions and
timing by monitoring inputs from the door ajar switches, instrument panel dimmer switch and vehicle speed.

Interior Lighting Delay
The interior lighting delay feature provides temporary illumination of the courtesy lamps after the doors are
opened and then closed. The interior lighting delay feature keeps the courtesy lamps on for a period of 25
seconds after all the doors are closed. If during the 25-second delay time, the SJB detects that the ignition has
been turned out of OFF, or if the vehicle is locked using the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter or the
keypad, the courtesy lamp illumination is discontinued.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry requests the courtesy lamps to be illuminated (when the ignition is off) and either the
RKE transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed, or the vehicle is unlocked using the keypad. The illuminated entry
requests the courtesy lamps off after 25 seconds have elapsed, the ignition is switched out of off, the RKE
transmitter LOCK button is pressed, or the vehicle is locked using the keypad or door lock cylinder.
Illuminated Exit
The illuminated exit requests the courtesy lamps to be illuminated for 25 seconds when all doors are closed and
the ignition key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder. The illuminated exit requests the courtesy lamps to
be deactivated when the ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder, 25 seconds have elapsed or a
door or liftgate is opened.
Theater Lighting
The theater lighting option ramps-up the courtesy lamps over 0.7 second when courtesy lamp activation is
requested. The theater lighting feature ramps-down the courtesy lamps over 1.7 seconds when interior lighting
deactivation is requested by any feature other than the panic alarm or battery saver.
Interior Lamp Arbitrator
The SJB chooses between the interior lighting, interior mode, interior lighting delay, illuminated entry,
illuminated exit and battery saver to determine which feature has precedence of activating and deactivating the
interior lamps.
The features are prioritized as follows:
 Perimeter alarm/panic alarm

 Demand lighting
 Battery saver
 Interior lighting
 Interior light delay
 Illuminated entry
 Illuminated exit
Battery Saver
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The SJB provides automatic shut-off of the demand lamps (cargo lamp, vanity lamps, map lamps and cargo
lamp) and courtesy lamps after a time-out period in order to save battery voltage. A timer in the SJB is started
when the ignition is turned to the OFF position, and all the doors, the liftgate and the liftgate glass are closed.
When the time-out period for the lamps has elapsed, the voltage is automatically shut off to the lamps by the
SJB. While the SJB has voltage disabled, if the ignition is turned to any position other than OFF, any door
becomes ajar, or the UNLOCK button of the RKE transmitter is pressed, a valid keypad code is entered, an
unlock request from the cylinder is received, or the dome lamp switch is turned on, the SJB restores voltage and
starts the timer again.
NOTE: Time-out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).
The battery saver time-outs are as follows:
 Courtesy lamps = 10 minutes

 Demand lamps = 10 minutes
Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection
The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the headlamp output
circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut
down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault is detected. A continuous DTC is
stored at that time of the fault. The circuit then resets after an ignition cycle or customer demand of the function
(switching the component on, 30-minute battery saver being energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs
several times, the module shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. At the same time, the
continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure cannot be cleared by a command to clear the continuous
DTCs. The module does not allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal until a successful on-
demand self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully
completed (no on-demand DTCs present), the continuous DTC clears and the circuit function returns.
Each circuit has 3 predefined levels of short circuit tolerance established in the module based on each circuits'
capability. When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC associated with the circuit sets along
with DTC B106E. These DTCs may be cleared using the Clear DTC operation on the scan tool as long as the
fault itself has been corrected. If any of the circuits are shorted past the third level, then DTCs B106F and
B1342 set along with the associated continuous DTC. This DTC cannot be cleared and a new module must be
installed.
The SJB FET protected output circuits for the interior lighting system are for the puddle lamps and courtesy
lamp output circuits.

proceeding to the next step.
NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool release software.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power
and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.
5. If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM:

 Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
 Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
 Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article, No Power To The Scan Tool, to

diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
 Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
 Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
 Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article to diagnose no response from the

PCM.
7. Carry out the network test.
Microsoft

If the scan tool responds with no communication with the SJB, refer to MODULE

COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.
 If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.
8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the SJB and the liftgate/trunk
module (LTM) (if equipped).
9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, refer to

(10A) for the demand lamps. When any door is opened, the ajar switch opens, signaling the SJB. The SJB
monitors the ajar circuits, and based on the ajar status, the SJB supplies voltage to the courtesy lamps on circuit
VLN33 (GY/VT). Ground is supplied through circuit GD133 (BK) for the courtesy lamps, and circuit GD126
(BK/WH) for the cargo lamp.
