Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
Principles of Operation
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) controls various systems (such as turn lamps, interior lighting, power door locks, wipers and the battery saver feature) by monitoring inputs from switches, sensors and messages sent from other modules on the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). Based on the inputs received, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) activates outputs. For example, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) monitors the door ajar switches. Based on this input, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) may provide voltage to the interior lamps.
