In a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer AWD, the GEM (Generic Electronic Module) controls various electrical functions and systems, including the all-wheel drive (AWD) system, power windows, interior lighting, and the central locking system. It acts as a communication hub between different electronic components, ensuring they work together efficiently. Additionally, the GEM monitors and manages features like the windshield wipers and the anti-theft system, enhancing overall vehicle functionality and user convenience.
