Principles of Operation: Notes

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

NOTE: The time out for the battery saver relay and the accessory delay relay (both are controlled by the SJB ) is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles). Once the vehicle passes the approximate mileage threshold of 80 km (50 miles), the time out for both relays will be the normal 10 minute time out, as described in the Owner's Literature. For the battery saver relay, refer to INTERIOR LIGHTING . For the accessory delay relay, refer to GLASS, FRAMES AND MECHANISMS .

The SJB is a multifunction electronic module that controls many of the vehicle systems. Most of the SJB functions utilize hardwired inputs and/or outputs. The SJB controls the following hardwired functions, using the corresponding inputs and outputs:

SJB FUNCTIONS CHART

Turn signal/hazard lamps	Multifunction switch Hazard lamps switch	Turn signal/hazard lamps

In addition, the SJB is involved in other vehicle systems through communication over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). For a detailed list of SJB network inputs and outputs, refer to the Principles of Operation in MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .

Some SJB parameters are programmable. Two types of programmable parameters are available: vehicle configuration and customer preference. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .
