Ranger 4WD V6-3.0L VIN U (1997)
Modes: OFF, Interval, LOW, HIGH, and WASH. The GEM responds to the windshield wiper control commands by interpreting inputs from the
steering column seven-position delay/wash and four-position mode select switches.
The GEM relay drivers control three external relays: wiper high/low speed relay, dynamic brake-run relay, and the washer pump relay. When the
washer switch is activated longer than 300 ms, the wash and wiper (low speed) functions are provided until the switch is released. The release of the
switch will be followed by three low speed wipes. If the switch is pressed between 100 ms and 300 ms (with the mode in the OFF position), the wiper
system will provide one wipe at low speed with no wash.
INTERVAL
For standard interval, the time between low-speed wipes will range from 1.5-20 seconds.
HI
This is the fastest wiper speed with no dwell. It is selected when the multi-function switch is in the HI speed position. If the wash button is pressed
for 0.3-10 seconds, the washer pump will energize until the wash button is released.
LO
This is the slowest wiper speed with no dwell. It is selected when the multi-function switch is in the LO speed position. If the wash button is
pressed for 0.3-10 seconds, the washer pump will energize until the wash button is released.
WASH
If the wash button is pressed for 0.3-10 seconds, the washer pump will energize until the wash button is released.
Chime Warning
There are audible warning tones and warning lights that the GEM controls. The GEM performs a prove out on all warning light miniature bulbs
(except the seat belt, 4x4 and door ajar) by turning on the miniature bulb for two seconds after the ignition switch is turned to RUN from START.
Headlamp On Warning
A chime sounds when the exterior lamps are on (parking, license plate and headlamps and:
-
Ignition switch in the OFF position.
-
The driver front door is ajar (or open).
-
NO key in ignition switch.
Door Ajar Warning
When at least one door is ajar and the key is in the RUN position, the door ajar cluster lamp is activated and remains on until all doors are closed. A
warning tone will sound once any time the key is in the ignition switch and any door is open. The GEM's flexibility allows customizing of different
warnings (i.e., a steady tone for the driver door ajar).
Driver Seat Belt Warning
If the driver seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is placed in RUN, a chime sounds for 6 seconds (or until the driver seat belt is buckled)
and a warning light is turned on for 61 seconds (or until the driver seat belt is buckled).
Key In Ignition
Any time the key is in the ignition switch in the OFF or ACC position and the driver door is open, the module sounds a chime (120 chimes per minute)
until either the key is removed from the ignition or the driver door is closed.
Battery Saver
The battery saver feature removes extended interior lamp power drains to the battery. The GEM keeps power to these loads for 45 minutes after the
ignition switch is turned off.
NOTE: The exterior lamps are not part of the battery saver protection, and will remain on even if the GEM turns the interior lamps off.
The GEM keeps power available for all interior lights, key ring lights, cargo lamp, and hood lamp circuits for 45 minutes after the ignition switch is
turned off. The battery saver timer is reset by lifting a door handle (receiving an illuminated entry request), activating a door ajar switch, changing the
ignition to START, or moving the key to the RUN or ACCY position. No lamp or chime indication is provided.
A WAKE-UP command is sent when:
-
any door becomes ajar or is opened or closed.
-
the front door handle is lifted (if equipped with illuminated entry).
-
the key is inserted or removed.
-
the ignition switch is turned from OFF to RUN.
-
the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ACCY.
-
a wake up request is received from the RAP module.

lamps:
