Exterior Lighting
NOTE:
The perimeter lighting feature can be enabled or disabled (if equipped). When enabled, the exterior lamps are illuminated when the UNLOCK button is
pressed on the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. For additional information, refer to Section 501-14.
Battery Saver
NOTE:
Time-out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).
The battery saver is internal to the smart junction box (SJB) and provides automatic shut-off of the headlamps and parking lamps after 10 minutes in order to
save battery voltage. A timer is started when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position with the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position,
or the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMPS ON position with the ignition switch off. When the time-out period has elapsed, the voltage is
automatically shut off to the lamps by the battery saver.
The battery saver does not control the parking lamps if the headlamp switch is in the PARKING LAMPS ON position.
Lamp Assembly Condensation

Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur if the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film
of mist can form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Time to clear the lens of
acceptable mist varies with ambient humidity and lamp types. Normal condensation clears from any lamp in 48 hours under dry conditions.
Do not replace a lamp assembly with acceptable levels of condensation such as:
• presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets are present)
• fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp housing leak):
• water puddling inside the lamp

• large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of the lens
Headlamps
The headlamp system is a dual-beam pattern system. It consists of replaceable low/high beam bulbs. Vehicles may come equipped with aero-type
headlamps, or sealed beam type headlamps.
The smart junction box (SJB) supplies voltage to the headlamps when demanded. If the headlamps are on when the ignition switch is turned off, the battery
saver feature turns off the headlamps after 10 minutes have elapsed.
Autolamps
The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on/off control of the exterior lamps. The autolamp system keeps the exterior lamps on for a pre-
selected period of time after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position (20 seconds is the factory default setting). The pre-selected time lapse is
adjustable up to approximately 3 minutes. For additional information, refer to Autolamps Time Delay Adjustment in this section.
Stoplamps
The stoplamp switch is located on the brake pedal assembly. The rear lamps and high mounted stoplamp are supplied voltage when the brake pedal is
applied. The rear lamps are combination stop/turn lamps.
Turn Signal/Hazard Lamps

When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN positions, the SJB routes voltage to the LH or RH turn signal lamps. The SJB then cycles
the voltage on and off approximately 80 times per minute. If a front or rear turn bulb is inoperative, the SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 160
times per minute.
The hazard switch is located on the center instrument panel finish panel. When the hazard switch is pressed, the SJB supplies voltage to all the turn lamps.
The SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times per minute.
On vehicles with aero-type headlamps, the park/turn indicator lamp is integrated into the headlamp assembly.
On vehicles with sealed beam type headlamps, the park/turn indicator lamp is a separate assembly.
The rear lamps share functionality with the stoplamps.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Parking Lamps
The SJB supplies voltage to the parking lamps when demanded.
On vehicles with aero-type headlamps, the front park/turn indicator lamp and side lamp are integrated into the headlamp assembly.
On vehicles with sealed beam type headlamps, the front park/turn indicator lamp is a separate assembly. The side lamp is also located within this assembly.
The rear parking lamps are located in the rear lamp assemblies.
Vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels have marker lamps located on the sides and rear of the pickup bed.
If equipped, the vehicle may have cab marker lamps located on the roof.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp switch is integrated into the headlamp switch. When the fog lamp switch is engaged, the SJB provides ground for the fog lamp relay coil
(integrated into the SJB), which then energizes and routes voltage to the fog lamps. The fog lamps can be turned on when the ignition switch is in the RUN
or ACC position, the parking lamps are on, and the high beam headlamps are off.
Reversing Lamps
When the transmission is placed in REVERSE (R), the PCM (automatic transmission) or the reversing lamp switch (manual transmission) provides ground
for the reversing lamp relay coil. The reversing lamps receive voltage when the reversing lamp relay is energized. The reversing lamps are located within the
rear lamp assemblies.
Trailer Tow
The battery junction box (BJB) supplies voltage to the trailer tow stop/turn, parking and reversing lamps. When the vehicle's rear stop/turn or parking lamps
are illuminated, voltage is also supplied to a corresponding trailer tow relay (coil side) located in the BJB. When the reversing lamps are illuminated (the
reversing lamp relay is energized), voltage is also routed through BJB fuse 63 (15A) to the trailer tow connector for the trailer reversing lamps.
The trailer tow battery charge relay provides voltage to the trailer tow connector when the ignition switch is in the RUN position.
The vehicle may be equipped with a factory manufactured trailer tow electric module. For additional information, refer to Section 206-10.
On vehicles not equipped with a factory manufactured trailer tow electric module, the vehicle comes equipped with circuitry to support trailer tow electric
brakes.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

The SJB can be configured to turn the DRL on for this vehicle. Refer to Section 418-01 for additional information on this programmable parameter.
The DRL system operates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity.
The SJB supplies pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to illuminate the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity when the following conditions are met:
• The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

• The headlamps have not been turned on by the autolamp system or the headlamp switch.
• The transmission is not in PARK (P) (automatic transmission).
• The parking brake is not applied (manual transmission).

Principles of Operation
NOTE:
For additional information on the perimeter lighting feature, refer to Section 501-14.
NOTE:
The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).
Exterior Lighting
The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending voltage reference signals on multiple circuits to the headlamp switch. There is one circuit for
each headlamp switch position. At any given time, one of the signal circuits is routed to ground.
If the SJB does not detect any of the inputs to the headlamp switch is active (routed to ground) for 5 seconds, the SJB turns on the exterior lights and keeps
them on for 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off (or 10 minutes from the time the SJB does not detect any headlamp switch input if the ignition
switch was already off). Additionally, if the SJB detects multiple circuits short to ground, the SJB implements a planned strategy depending on the multiple
inputs received.
If either of these situations occur, the SJB should NOT be ruled immediately as being at fault. This is normal behavior of the SJB design as it has detected a
fault with the inputs from the headlamp switch.
Autolamps Feature
The SJB also monitors the light sensor with a voltage reference signal. The light sensor input to the SJB varies with the ambient light conditions.
When the SJB receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the autolamps, the SJB monitors the light sensor for the ambient light
condition. If the SJB determines the ambient light level is dark, the SJB supplies voltage to the exterior lamps.
If the ignition switch is already in the RUN position and the vehicle enters a dark/lighted area (such as when entering/exiting a non-lighted tunnel during the
daytime), the transition from light to dark (or dark to light) needs to last 15 seconds before the SJB turns on or off the exterior lamps. This strategy is to
prevent the exterior lamps from unnecessarily flashing on and off.
The SJB does react quicker under extreme light conditions. If the SJB has detected a very dark condition, the exterior lamps are turned on after 1.5 seconds.
If the SJB has detected a very high ambient light level, the exterior lamps are turned off after 4 seconds.

Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Test F: The Autolamps Are Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 85 Headlamps/Autolamps for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
When the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the voltage signal is routed to ground. When the smart junction box (SJB) detects
the headlamp switch in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the SJB monitors the light sensor input. The light sensor determines the amount of light based on
the input received from the ambient lighting conditions. When the ambient level has reached a point (determined by the internal programming of the SJB),
the SJB provides voltage to the headlamps, parking and license plate lamps.
If the SJB detects any faults with the inputs from the light sensor or the headlamp switch, the SJB faults the exterior lamps on.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
• Light sensor
• SJB

Pinpoint Test G: The Autolamps Are On Continuously

Normal Operation
The smart junction box (SJB) sends a reference voltage signal to the headlamp switch through circuit CLF19 (VT/GN) and a reference voltage signal to the
light sensor through circuit VLF14 (BU/BN). Ground for the headlamp switch is provided by circuit GD115 (BK/GY). Ground for the light sensor is
provided by circuit GD133 (BK).
When the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the voltage signal is routed to ground. When the SJB detects the headlamp switch in
the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the SJB monitors the light sensor input. The light sensor determines the amount of light based on the input received from
the ambient lighting conditions. When the ambient level has reached a point (determined by the internal programming of the SJB), the SJB provides voltage
to the headlamps, parking and license plate lamps.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Special Tool(s)
NOTE:
NOTE:
When installing a new SJB, it must be configured for this feature, if originally equipped. Refer to Section 418-01.
The SJB controls the DRL by using various inputs to determine whether or not the DRL should be illuminated. These inputs include:
• Ignition switch position

• Headlamp switch position
• Headlamps on or off
• Transmission gear selection (automatic transmission)
• Parking brake applied or released (manual transmission)
When the DRL is active, the SJB provides a pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to the low beam headlamps. This illuminates the headlamps at a reduced
intensity.
The SJB can be configured to turn the DRL on for this vehicle. Refer to Section 418-01 for additional information on this programmable parameter.

NOTE:
The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending a voltage reference signal to the headlamp switch. When the fog lamp switch is engaged, the
voltage reference signal is routed to ground.
The fog lamps can be turned on when the following conditions are met:
• The ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.

• The low beam headlamps or the parking lamps are on.
• The high beams are off.
When the SJB receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the fog lamps, the SJB provides ground to the fog lamp relay. When the
fog lamp relay is energized, voltage is routed to the fog lamps.

inputs received.
High Beam and Flash-to-Pass

The SJB also monitors the multifunction switch for a flash-to-pass or high beam request. There are 2 voltage reference circuits which monitor this. When the
multifunction switch is in the FLASH-TO-PASS or HIGH BEAM position, the voltage signal is routed to ground.
NOTE:
The flash-to-pass feature does not require any input from the headlamp switch.
When the SJB receives an input requesting the headlamps on, the SJB supplies voltage to the low beams. If the low beams are on and the SJB receives a
request for high beams (or just a flash-to-pass request), the SJB energizes an internal relay which routes voltage to the headlamps.
Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection

The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are
monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault is detected.
A continuous DTC is stored at that time of the fault. The circuit then resets after a customer demand of the function (switching the component on, battery
saver being energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the module shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. At the
same time, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure, does not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module does not allow
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal operation until a successful on-demand self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the on-
demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), the continuous DTC clears and the circuit function returns.
Each circuit has three predefined levels of short circuit tolerance established in the module based on each circuits' capability. When the first or second level
is reached, the continuous DTC associated with the circuit sets along with DTC B106E. These DTCs may be cleared using the Clear DTC operation on the
scan tool as long as the fault itself has been corrected. If any of the circuits are shorted past the third level, then B106F and B1342 set along with the
associated continuous DTC. This DTC cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced.
The SJB FET protected output circuits for the headlamp system are for the LH low beam output and the RH low beam output circuits.

Pinpoint Test U: Both Reversing Lamps Are Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 93 Reversing Lamps for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
Voltage is supplied from the battery junction box (BJB) fuse 75 (5A) to the coil side of the reversing lamps relay through circuit CBB75 (YE/GY). The
reversing lamps relay switch side is supplied voltage by the BJB fuse 33 (20A) through circuit SBB33 (RD). The reversing lamps relay coil ground is
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

controlled by the PCM (automatic transmission, gasoline engine), the transmission control module (TCM) (automatic transmission, diesel engine), or the
reversing lamp switch (manual transmission) through circuit CLS28 (BU/WH).
For vehicles with an automatic transmission, when the transmission is in REVERSE (R), the PCM or TCM provide ground for the reversing lamps relay to
energize.
For vehicles with a manual transmission, when the transmission is in REVERSE (R), the reversing lamp switch completes the ground path through circuit
GD122 (BK) to energize the reversing lamps relay.
When the reversing lamps relay is energized, voltage is routed to the reversing lamps through circuit CLS10 (GN/BN). The reversing lamps share a common
ground through circuit GD176 (BK/WH).

Pinpoint Test W: The Reversing Lamps Are On Continuously

Normal Operation
The reversing lamps relay coil ground is controlled by the PCM (automatic transmission, gasoline engine), the transmission control module (TCM)
(automatic transmission, diesel engine), or the reversing lamp switch (manual transmission) through circuit CLS28 (BU/WH).
For vehicles with an automatic transmission, when the transmission is in REVERSE (R), the PCM or TCM provide ground for the reversing lamps relay to
energize.
For vehicles with a manual transmission, when the transmission is in REVERSE (R), the reversing lamp switch completes the ground path through circuit
GD122 (BK) to energize the reversing lamps relay.
When the reversing lamps relay is energized, voltage is routed through circuit CLS10 (GN/BN) to the reversing lamps, the electrochromatic mirror, the
parking aid module (if equipped), and through the battery junction box (BJB) fuse 63 (15A) to circuit CAT03 (GY/BN) (trailer reversing lamps).

The trailer lamps and battery charge are supplied power by relays that are energized to correspond with the exterior lighting functions of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is not equipped with the factory manufactured trailer electric brake control module, the vehicle supplies circuitry to support the installation of
an aftermarket trailer electric brake controller (installed by the customer). To support the aftermarket trailer electric brake controller, the vehicle circuitry
only supplies voltage, ground, stoplamp switch input and a brake controlling circuit to the trailer tow connector. The trailer electric brakes themselves are
controlled by the aftermarket trailer brake controller and not the vehicle itself.
For additional information on the factory manufactured trailer brake control system, refer to Section 206-10.

2. Verify the exterior lighting system of the vehicle is operating correctly. If not, refer to the appropriate pinpoint test in this section.
3. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

Turn Signal and Hazard Lamps
Special Tool(s)

Flex Probe Kit

NOTE:
The SJB monitors the multifunction switch position by sending multiple voltage reference signals to the multifunction switch. When the multifunction
switch is in the LH or RH TURN positions, or the hazard lamp switch is pressed, that input signal is routed to ground.
When the SJB receives a request for a turn signal or the hazard lamps, the SJB supplies on/off voltage to the appropriate turn lamps.
The timed on/off cycle is determined by the SJB and is set to flash approximately 80 times per minute if both the front and rear turn lamps operate correctly.
If an individual turn signal lamp is inoperative, the SJB fast flashes the remaining turn lamp approximately 160 times per minute to indicate to the driver of a
bulb outage.
The SJB bulb outage is configurable and can be turned off for the rear lamps. This is to accommodate vehicles that have been upfitted with rear LED lamps
in place of the traditional incandescent bulbs.

The SJB FET protected output circuits for the turn lamp system are for the LH front turn lamp output and the RH front turn lamp output circuits. The rear
turn lamps utilize the stoplamp circuitry and are also protected. For additional information regarding the rear stop lamps, refer to Stoplamps in this section.

Normal Operation
The smart junction box (SJB) sends reference signals to the multifunction switch through circuits CLS39 (VT/WH) (LH turn input) and CLS41 (GY/YE)
(RH turn input). When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN positions, the voltage signal is routed to ground through circuit GD115 (BK/

NOTE:
Horizontal aim is not adjustable for VOL or VOR headlamps.
NOTE:
Consult your state vehicle inspection manual for recommended tolerance ranges for visual aiming.
1. The headlamp aiming procedure depends on what type of beam pattern the headlamp is equipped with. Vehicles may come equipped with visual
optical left (VOL), visual optical right (VOR) or SAE only (sealed beam type) headlamps. To identify the headlamp beam pattern, look on the
headlamp lens. Molded in small letters on the headlamp lens is one of the following:
• SAE
• VOL and SAE
• VOR and SAE
2. Once the headlamp beam pattern is identified, aim the headlamps using one of the following methods as applicable.
• Photometric aimers can aim VOL-, VOR- and SAE-type headlamps only. This is the preferred method of headlamp aiming.
• Visual or screen method aiming can be used to aim VOL-, VOR- and SAE-type headlamps only.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

GENERAL PROCEDURES (Continued)
• Mechanical aimers cannot be used with VOR- or VOL-type headlamps. Aerodynamic lamps that can be aimed mechanically have 3 nibs molded
into the lens of the lamp.
Photometric Aiming
1. For the photometric aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate photometric headlamp aimer instruction manual.
Screen Method Aiming

All headlamp types
1. Before starting headlamp adjustment:
• check that the vehicle is on level ground.
• check the tire inflation.
• check that no other load is in the vehicle other than a half tank of fuel.
• check that the headlamps are clean.
• check for correct headlamp operation.
• if the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, make sure that the switch is on.
2. NOTE:
The vertical wall or screen must be a minimum of 2.4 m (8 ft) wide.
Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 m (25 ft) from the vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
3. NOTE:
The center of the lamp is marked either on the lens (circle, crosshair or other mark) or on the bulb shield internal to the lamp (crosshair or other mark).
Mark a horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen.

1 Measure the center of the headlamp height to ground and record the measurement.
2 Make a 2.4 m (8 ft) horizontal mark (using masking tape) on the vertical wall or screen at the same distance from the ground as previously recorded.
4. NOTE:
This procedure should be done in a dark environment to effectively see the headlamp beam pattern.
Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood.
5. NOTE:
For SAE-type headlamps, the appearance of the beam pattern may vary between vehicles.
2008 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty, 7/2007

On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam pattern. Using the adjusting screw, adjust the headlamp until the top edge of the high
intensity zone is even with the horizontal reference line.
SAE-type (sealed beam) headlamps
6. In addition to the horizontal line marked in Step 3, a pair of vertical lines must be marked at the center line of the headlamps on the wall or screen.
1 Mark the center line of the vehicle on the wall or screen.
2 Measure from the center of the headlamp to the center line of the vehicle.
3 Make two 1.5 m (5 ft) vertical marks (using masking tape) on the wall or screen at the same distance from the vehicle center line as previously
recorded.
7. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam pattern. Using the adjusting screw, adjust the headlamp until the left edge of the high
intensity zone is even with the vertical and horizontal lines corresponding to the headlamp being adjusted.
VOR-type headlamps
8. NOTE:
The appearance of the VOR beam pattern may vary between vehicles.
On the wall or screen, locate the top edge of this high intensity area a distinct horizontal cutoff in the beam pattern. Using the adjusting screw, adjust
the headlamp until the top edge of this cutoff is even with the horizontal reference line.
VOL-type headlamps
9. For VOL-type headlamps, locate the distinct cutoff in the left portion of the beam pattern. Using the adjusting screw, adjust the headlamp until the
edge of this cutoff is positioned 50.2 mm (2 in) below the horizontal reference line.
