Principles of Operation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
The SJB controls various systems (such as exterior lighting, interior lighting, power door locks, anti-theft system, dimmable backlighting and the battery saver feature) by monitoring inputs from switches, sensors and messages sent from other modules on the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). Based on the inputs received, the SJB activates outputs. For example, the SJB monitors the headlamp switch position. Based on this input, the SJB may provide voltage to the exterior lamps.
