Inspection and Verification
Note. The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).
- Verify the customer concern.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Clock Smart junction box (SJB) fuse 14 (10A) Wiring, terminals or connectors
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause before proceeding to the next step.
- If the fault is not visually evident, verify the symptom. Go to «Symptom Chart»(/ford/taurus-x/i-2007-2009/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#message-center-clock) .

| The clock operation is erratic/inoperative | Fuse Wiring, terminals or connectors Clock | Go to Pinpoint Test A . |
Symptom Chart
Pinpoint Tests A: The Clock Operation Is Erratic/Inoperative
Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article, Horn/Cigar Lighter for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The clock receives battery voltage from the smart junction box (SJB) through circuit SBP14 (BN/RD). Ground for the clock is supplied through circuit GD111 (BK/BU).
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Clock
PINPOINT TEST A: THE CLOCK OPERATION IS ERRATIC/INOPERATIVE
| CAUTION | Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector. |

- A1 CHECK CIRCUIT SBP14 (BN/RD) FOR AN OPEN Key in OFF position. Disconnect: Clock C2016 Measure the voltage between the clock C2016-6, circuit SBP14 (BN/RD), harness side and ground. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? YES : Go to A2 . NO : VERIFY the SJB fuse 14 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- A2 CHECK CIRCUIT GD111 (BK/BU) FOR AN OPEN Measure the resistance between the clock C2016-3, circuit GD111 (BK/BU), harness side and ground. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? YES : INSTALL a new clock. REFER to «Clock»(/ford/taurus-x/i-2007-2009/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#message-center-clock) . TEST the system for normal operation. NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
