how to determine if my 01 has a GEM

IDIoit · Jul 23, 2015

without tearing the truck apart,
is there a way to determine if my truck has the GEM or the VSM?
maybe a site on the net where i can enter my VIN?
thanks!

If the fuse box is taller than wide, it has a GEM. If it is wider than tall, is has a VSM.
Found on the net, so take it for what it's worth. Lol

All 01s have a GEM.
Either 02 or 03 they done away with the GEM.

It's behind the drivers side kick panel.

if it was the GEM, would it throw a code?
still having this issue, and it seems to be getting worse.

cant afford to replace it right now with the womans b-day and a the guest house project im working on.
hopefully next week.

Don't think so.

There will be no codes for the GEM, because it is not part of the PCM.

What codes are you getting? I can send you my AE and a disk for your computer, you can suck any code out even from the IDM.

Pull the damn kick panel off and check that ground wire.

i got a snap on solus,
pretty sure this scanner will pull any code it throws.
only code i get is an EPBV code.

ill check the ground tomorrow.
may just replace the whole damn thing.

Gem modules have to be re-programmed to the specific vehicle. A new one is around $350. I've seen some on ebay rebuilt, some say they are programmed. Dealers around here charge $100 to program them.
Damn Ford truck windshields leak, water runs right down into the Gem, plugin connectors get corroded.

with my PSD endeavors, i have learned to not F with it until i get data to back up my assumption.

stoped by a buddys shop today, he has the new matco scanner with wifi receiver!

sure as ****, it pulled the GEM module up and found it faulty.

so now this can be diagnosed with a scanner, just not mine.

gotta call the Ferd dealer.
