Body Control Systems: Description and Operation

MODULE CONTROLLED FUNCTIONS

NOTE:
- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).
- The time out for the battery saver relay and the accessory delay relay (both are controlled by the SJB/GEM) 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 minutes time out, as described by the Owner's Literature.

The SJB/GEM is the only multifunction control module on this vehicle. The SJB/GEM is a combination of a multifunction control module and a central junction box (CJB). The following systems are controlled by the SJB/GEM:
- Auto locks
- Exterior lamps
- Illuminated entry and interior lamps
- Keyless entry keypad
- Power door locks
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) system
- Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

The SJB/GEM is located under the front (passenger side floor) console.
