DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NOTE: If equipped, the perimeter lighting feature can be enabled or disabled. When
enabled, the exterior lamps are illuminated when the UNLOCK button is pressed
on the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. Refer to HANDLES, LOCKS,
LATCHES AND ENTRY SYSTEMS article.
NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module
(GEM).
Battery Saver
NOTE: Time-out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).
The battery saver is internal to the SJB and provides automatic shut-off of the headlamps and parking lamps
after 10 minutes in order to save battery voltage. A timer is started when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position with the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position, or the headlamp switch is placed in the
HEADLAMPS ON position with the ignition switch off. When the time-out period has elapsed, the voltage is
automatically shut off to the lamps by the battery saver.
The battery saver does not control the parking lamps if the headlamp switch is in the PARKING LAMPS ON
position.
Headlamps
The headlamp system is a quad-beam pattern system. It consists of replaceable low and high beam bulbs. The
headlamp assembly has the park/turn indicator lamp integrated into the headlamp assembly. The SJB supplies
voltage to the headlamps when demanded.
NOTE: Some vehicles are equipped with the adaptive headlighting option. Refer to

Adaptive Headlighting .
If the headlamps are on when the ignition switch is turned off, the battery saver feature turns off the headlamps
after 10 minutes have elapsed.
Autolamps
The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on/off control of the exterior lamps. The autolamp
system keeps the exterior lamps on for a pre-selected period of time after the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position (20 seconds is the factory default setting). The pre-selected time lapse is adjustable up to
approximately 3 minutes.
Headlamps On With Wipers On Feature
On vehicles equipped with autolamps, there is also a feature called the headlamps on with wipers on feature. If
the headlamp switch is in the AUTOLAMPS ON position and the front wipers are on for more than 10 seconds
(except during a mist wipe or while the wipers are on to clear washer fluid during a wash condition), the
exterior lamps are turned on. The exterior lamps are turned off when the ignition switch is changed to the OFF
or ACC position, the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, or the front wipers are off for more than 30
seconds. The exception to this is when the exterior lights are on because of darkness determined by the light
sensor.
For the headlamps on with wipers on feature, refer to WIPERS AND WASHERS article.
Stoplamps
The stoplamp switch is located on the brake pedal assembly. The stoplamps are supplied voltage when the brake
pedal is applied.
Turn Signal/Hazard Lamps
The front turn signal lamps are located within the headlamp assemblies. The rear lamps share functionality with
the stoplamps. When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN positions, the SJB routes
voltage to the LH or RH turn signal lamps. The SJB then cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times
per minute. If a front or rear turn bulb is inoperative, the SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 160
times per minute.
The hazard switch is located on the center instrument panel finish panel. When the hazard switch is pressed, the
SJB supplies voltage to all the turn lamps. The SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times per
minute.
Parking Lamps
The SJB supplies voltage to the parking lamps when demanded. The parking lamp system includes the
following:
 Front parking lamps

 Front side marker lamps

 Rear parking lamps
 Rear side marker lamps
 License plate lamps
 Liftgate lamp assembly (MKX only)
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp switch is integrated into the headlamp switch. When the fog lamp switch is engaged, the SJB
provides ground for the fog lamp relay coil (integrated into the SJB), which then energizes and routes voltage to
the fog lamps. The fog lamps can be turned on when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACC position, the
parking lamps are on, and the high beam headlamps are off.
Reversing Lamps
When the transmission is placed in REVERSE (R), the PCM provides ground for the reversing lamp relay coil.
The reversing lamps receive voltage when the reversing lamp relay is energized. The reversing lamps are
located within the rear lamp assemblies.
For MKX, the reversing lamps are LEDs integrated into the rear lamp assemblies.
Trailer Tow
When the vehicle's rear stop/turn or parking lamps are illuminated, voltage is also supplied to a corresponding
trailer tow relay (coil side) located in the battery junction box (BJB).
Adaptive Headlighting
Vehicles equipped with adaptive front lighting have a module (located on the bottom of the LH headlamp
assembly) to control the left/right aiming of the headlamp bulbs. Depending on the inputs received (steering
wheel angle and vehicle speed for example), the adaptive front lighting module can change the angle at which
the headlamps are aimed (left or right) to improve nighttime visibility around curves.
There are sensors and motors within each headlamp that the module uses to control the angle of the headlamp
beams and are not repaired separately.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
The SJB can be configured to turn the DRL on for this vehicle. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION
article for additional information on this programmable parameter.
The DRL system operates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity.
The SJB supplies pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to illuminate the low beam headlamps at a reduced
intensity when the following conditions are met:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

 The headlamps have not been turned on by the autolamp system or the headlamp switch.
 The transmission is not in PARK (P).

(GEM).
Exterior Lighting
The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending voltage reference signals on multiple circuits to the
headlamp switch. There is one circuit for each headlamp switch position. At any given time, one of the signal
circuits is routed to ground.
If the SJB does not detect any of the inputs to the headlamp switch are active (routed to ground) for 5 seconds,
the SJB turns on the exterior lights and keeps them on for 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off (or
10 minutes from the time the SJB does not detect any headlamp switch input if the ignition switch was already
off). Additionally, if the SJB detects multiple circuits short to ground, the SJB implements a planned strategy
depending on the multiple inputs received.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
If either of these situations occur, the SJB should NOT be ruled immediately as being at fault. This is normal
behavior of the SJB design as it has detected a fault with the inputs from the headlamp switch.
High Beam and Flash-to-Pass
The SJB also monitors the multifunction switch for a flash-to-pass or high beam request. There are 2 voltage
reference circuits which monitor this. When the multifunction switch is in the FLASH-TO-PASS or HIGH
BEAM position, the voltage signal is routed to ground.
NOTE: The flash-to-pass feature does not require any input from the headlamp switch.
When the SJB receives an input requesting the headlamps on, the SJB supplies voltage to the low beams. If the
low beams are on and the SJB receives a request for high beams (or just a flash-to-pass request), the SJB
energizes an internal relay which routes voltage to the headlamps.
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 a customer demand of the function (switching the
component on, 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, does not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module does not
allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal operation 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 the module must be
replaced.
The SJB FET protected output circuits for the headlamp system are for the LH low beam output and the RH low
beam output circuits.

Normal Operation
When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMPS ON position, the smart junction box (SJB) monitors
the high beam request circuit from the multifunction switch through circuit CLF17 (WH/OG). When the
multifunction switch is placed in the HIGH BEAM position, the signal is routed to ground through circuit
GD116 (BK/VT) (which routes through a joint connector). The SJB then energizes the high beam relay
(integrated into the SJB) which supplies voltage to the headlamps through circuit CLF08 (YE/VT).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
 Fuse
 Wiring, terminals or connectors

Pinpoint Test D: The Headlamp(s) Are On Continuously
Normal Operation - Low Beams
The smart junction box (SJB) sends reference signals to the headlamp switch through circuits CLF19 (VT/GN)
(AUTOLAMPS), CLF23 (WH/VT) (OFF), CLS34 (GY) (PARKING LAMPS) and CLF18 (BU/WH)
(HEADLAMPS). At any given time, the headlamp switch routes one of the input circuits to ground through
joint connector 6 through circuit GD116 (BK/VT).
When the SJB detects the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position and the multifunction switch in
the LOW BEAM position, the SJB provides voltage through circuits CLF04 (BN/BU) and CLF05 (BU/GN) to
the LH and RH low beam headlamps, respectively.
On vehicles equipped with autolamps, the SJB also monitors input from the windshield wiper motor through
circuit CRW01 (WH) for the headlamps on with wipers on feature.
High Beams
The SJB sends a reference signal to the multifunction switch through circuits CLF27 (GN/BN) and CLF17
(WH/OG). When the multifunction switch is placed in the FLASH-TO-PASS or HIGH BEAM position, the
voltage signal is routed to ground. When the SJB detects a request for flash-to-pass or high beams (when the
low beams are on), the SJB energizes the high beam relay (integrated into the SJB), which routes voltage
through circuit CLF08 (YE/VT) to the headlamps.

Exterior Lighting
Autolamps Feature
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The SJB monitors the light sensor with a voltage reference signal. The light sensor input to the SJB varies with
the ambient light conditions.
When the SJB receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the autolamps, the SJB
monitors the light sensor for the ambient light condition. If the SJB determines the ambient light level is dark,
the SJB supplies voltage to the exterior lamps.
If the ignition switch is already in the RUN position and the vehicle enters a dark/lighted area (such as when
entering/exiting a non-lighted tunnel during the daytime), the transition from light to dark (or dark to light)
needs to last 15 seconds before the SJB turns the exterior lamps on or off. This strategy is to prevent the exterior
lamps from unnecessarily flashing on and off.
The SJB does react quicker under extreme light conditions. If the SJB has detected a very dark condition, the
exterior lamps are turned on after 1.5 seconds. If the SJB has detected a very high ambient light level, the
exterior lamps are turned off after 4 seconds.

The SJB monitors the multifunction switch position by sending multiple voltage reference signals to the
multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH TURN positions, or the hazard lamp
switch is pressed, that input signal is routed to ground.
When the SJB receives a request for a turn signal or hazard lamps, the SJB supplies voltage to the appropriate
turn lamps.
The timed on/off cycle is determined by the SJB and is set to flash approximately 80 times per minute if both
the front and rear turn lamps operate correctly. If an individual turn signal lamp is inoperative, the SJB flashes
the remaining turn lamp approximately 160 times per minute.
The timed on/off cycle for the hazard lamps is set to flash approximately 80 times per minute.

(GEM).
The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending a voltage reference signal to the headlamp switch.
When the fog lamp switch (part of the headlamp switch) is engaged, the voltage reference signal is routed to
ground.
The fog lamps can be turned on when the following conditions are met:
 The ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.

 The low beam headlamps or the parking lamps are on.
 The high beams are off.
When the SJB receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the fog lamps, the SJB
provides voltage to the fog lamp relay. When the fog lamp relay is energized, voltage is routed to the fog lamps.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

The headlamp control module (HCM) receives information from the communication network such as vehicle
speed, steering wheel angle and headlamps on status. Based on the information received, the HCM determines
if the headlamps need to be angled left or right as well as the degree of angle.
The HCM does not operate the adaptive headlamps until the vehicle speed is above 5 km/h (3 mph).
When the ignition is placed in the RUN/START position, the HCM runs an initialization check to determine the

straight-ahead position of the headlamps. The lamps track left to right, then back to center to signify that the
system is operating correctly.
If the HCM does not receive the required information over the communication network or determines that there
is a fault with the circuitry to the sensors or control motors, it defaults the headlamps to the straight-ahead
position and sets DTC(s).

Pinpoint Test AF: The Adaptive Front Lighting Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly
Normal Operation
The headlamp control module (HCM) receives information from the high speed controller area network (HS-
CAN), such as steering wheel angle, vehicle speed, and headlamps on status. Based on the information
received, the HCM determines what angle (left to right of straight ahead) the headlamps should be.
The HCM does not operate the adaptive headlamps until the headlamps are on and the vehicle speed is above 5
km/h (3 mph). Depending on vehicle speed and steering wheel angle, the HCM determines and positions the
headlamps at an angle to improve visibility while the vehicle is in a turn. At low and high vehicle speeds (8
km/h [5 mph] and 97 km/h [60 mph] for example), the angle of the headlamps is changed minimally. At vehicle
speeds of 32-40 km/h (20-25 mph), the headlamp angle change is greater.
The HCM monitors the position of the headlamps and controls the motors, which changes the angle of the
headlamps.

(GEM).
NOTE: When installing a new SJB, it must be configured for this feature, if originally
equipped. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION article.
The SJB controls the daytime running lamps (DRL) by using various inputs to determine whether or not the
DRL should be illuminated. These inputs include:
 Ignition switch position

 Headlamp switch position
 Headlamps on or off
 Transaxle gear selection
When the DRL is active, the SJB provides a pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to the low beam
headlamps. This illuminates the headlamps at a reduced intensity.
The SJB can be configured to turn the DRL on for this vehicle. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION
article for additional information on this programmable parameter.

NOTE: Make sure the multifunction switch is not in the HIGH BEAM position.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
Special Tools
Vision 100 Headlamp Aimer 196-00005 or equivalent
Headlamp Aiming
1. The headlamp aiming procedure depends on what type of beam pattern the headlamp is equipped with.
Vehicles may come equipped with VOL or VOR headlamps. To identify the headlamp beam pattern, look
on the headlamp lens. Molded in small letters on the headlamp lens is one of the following:
 VOL and SAE
 VOR and SAE
2. Once the headlamp beam pattern is identified, aim the headlamps using one of the following methods as
applicable.
 Photometric aimers can aim VOL- and VOR- headlamps. This is the preferred method of headlamp
aiming.
 Visual or screen method aiming can be used to aim VOL- and VOR- headlamps.
 Mechanical aimers cannot be used with VOR- or VOL-type headlamps. Aerodynamic lamps that
can be aimed mechanically have 3 nibs molded into the lens of the lamp.
Photometric Aiming
1. For the photometric aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate photometric headlamp aimer instruction
manual.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Screen Method Aiming
All headlamp types
NOTE: Horizontal aim is not necessary for VOL or VOR headlamps.
NOTE: Consult your state vehicle inspection manual for recommended tolerance
ranges for visual aiming.
NOTE: The sight shield may need to be positioned or removed for access to the
adjusters.
1. Before starting headlamp adjustment:

 check the tire inflation.
 check that no other load is in the vehicle other than a half tank of fuel.
 check that the headlamps are clean.
 check for correct headlamp operation.
 check that the vehicle is on level ground.
 if the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, make sure that the switch is on.
NOTE: The vertical wall or screen must be a minimum of 2.4-m (8-ft) wide.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6-m (25-ft) from the vertical wall or screen directly in
front of it.
Fig. 108: Identifying Distance Between Vehicle And Vertical Wall Or Screen
NOTE: The center of the lamp is marked either on the lens (circle, crosshair or
other mark) or on the bulb shield internal to the lamp (crosshair or other
mark).
3. Mark a horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen.

1. Measure the center of the headlamp height to ground and record the measurement.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
2. Make a 2.4-meter (8-ft) horizontal mark (using masking tape) on the vertical wall or screen at the
same distance from the ground as previously recorded.
Fig. 109: Aiming Headlights

NOTE: This procedure should be done in a dark environment to effectively see

the headlamp beam pattern.
