Principles of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 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 driver seat module (DSM) is on the controller area network (CAN) communication network to support the memory driver seat. If a memory driver seat is not equipped on the vehicle, the DSM does not have CAN communication. If the DSM is on the CAN communication network, it permits inter-module and scan tool communications. The vehicle may have both memory driver seat and memory exterior mirrors, or only memory exterior mirrors.

The DSM controls the memory driver seat and the memory exterior mirrors. The memory feature allows the driver to program personalized seat/mirror positions. Once the driver stores a memory position, the setting can be recalled by pressing the corresponding memory switch or by using a programmed remote keyless entry (RKE) integrated key head transmitter (IKT).
