Principles of Operation: Notes

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.
