I thought others on this forum would be interested in finding out about the Mondeo, so I'm posting some stuff I wrote for my own education, based on Ford documentation. In this case, the LIN bus:
In addition to the high speed and medium speed communication system, which operates over two wires, there is a LIN bus on the 2007-2014 Mondeo which works over one wire (using chassis instead of a second wire). The light switch and the GEM for example communicate with one wire. The light switch is equipped with a semiconductor device or 'LIN control module' which encodes the switch position and sends data to the GEM, which decides if it is OK to go ahead. In the case of a flat battery for example, it may not allow high beam. The LIN bus is not directly accessible via the OBD connector. List of LIN modules: Front/rear window wiper motors Headlamp Fuel pump module (FPDM) (Not diesels) Heated windscreen Heated rear window, heated exterior mirrors Window washer pump Headlamp washer pump Electric booster heater Instrument cluster Remote control/tire pressure monitoring receiver module (vehicles without keyless vehicle module only) Tire pressure monitoring antenna Yaw rate sensor Clutch travel sensor Ignition lock Stoplamp switch Fuel level sensor Accelerator pedal position (APP2) sensor Backup lamp switch Multifunction switch PATS transceiver (vehicles without keyless vehicle module only) Speed control switch Windscreen heater switch Rear window heater switch Evaporator temperature sensor Hazard flasher switch Brake fluid level switch Light switch module Light/rain sensor LIN stands for 'local area interconnect Last edited by russellw; 14-03-2016 at 08:39 AM.
