Normal Operation - Manual Transmission
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PCM sends a voltage reference signal to the reversing lamp switch through circuit 1789 (VT/WH). When the transmission is placed in REVERSE (R), the reversing lamp switch closes and routes the signal back to the PCM through circuit 359 (GY/RD). The PCM then sends a message to the smart junction box (SJB), through the instrument cluster (IC) gateway function, over the communication network. The SJB then provides voltage through circuits 1362 (DG/OG) and 1367 (WH/YE) to the LH and RH reversing lamps, respectively.
