Exterior Lighting: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) must be reconfigured before installing a new module. For additional information, refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .

The SJB controls the front and rear portion of the vehicle. This system relies on the controller area network (CAN) communication network in order to transmit and receive signals. It is very important to understand:

where the input (command) originates from.
all information (messages) necessary in order for a feature to operate.
which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.
if the module which received the input (message) controls the output of the feature, or does it output a message over the CAN communication network to another module.
which module controls the output of the feature.
