Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel dimmer switch is used to increase and decrease the brightness of the interior backlighting components. The instrument panel dimmer switch provides a voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) that will increase as the brightness of the lights are increased and decrease as the brightness of the lights are decreased. The BCM provides a low reference, signal, and B+ circuits to the instrument panel dimmer switch. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the instrument panel dimmer switch through the instrument panel dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the LED dimming control circuits illuminating the interior backlighting to the requested level of brightness.

With the vehicle ON and the transmission in the reverse position, the transmission control module (TCM) sends a serial data message to the body control module (BCM). The message indicates that the gear selector is in the reverse position. The BCM applies battery voltage to the backup lamp control circuit illuminating the backup lamp. Once the driver moves the gear selector out of the reverse position, a message is sent by the TCM via serial data requesting the BCM to remove battery voltage from the backup lamp control circuit. The vehicle must be ON for the backup lamps to operate.
- Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
- Vehicle ON.
- Transmission placed in REVERSE gear.

For headlamp operation, the body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the turn signal/multifunction switch. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is in the AUTO position, the three signal circuits are open and the BCM relies on the ambient light sensor input to turn the headlamps and daytime running lamps (DRLs) ON and OFF. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the OFF position, the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the turn signal/multifunction switch in the PARK LAMPS position, the turn signal/multifunction switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is in the HEADLAMP position, both the turn signal/multifunction switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds by commanding the park lamps and headlamps ON.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
- The BCM detects an open/high resistance in the turn signal/multifunction switch park lamps ON signal circuit.
- The BCM detects a short to ground in the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps ON signal circuit.
- The BCM detects a short to ground in the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps OFF signal circuit.

The high beam and flash to pass functions are contained within the turn signal/multifunction switch. The BCM provides the turn signal/multifunction switch with two signal circuits, the high beam signal circuit and the flash to pass signal circuit. When the low beam headlamps are ON and the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the high beam position, ground is applied to the BCM through the high beam signal circuit. The BCM responds to the high beam request by applying ground to the high beam relay control circuit which energizes the high beam relay. With the high beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the high beam fuses to the high beam control circuits illuminating the high beam headlamps.
- Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
- High beam headlamps ON.
DTC B2580 01
The BCM detects a short to voltage in the headlamp high beam relay control circuit.

The ambient light sensor is used to monitor outside lighting conditions. The ambient light sensor provides a voltage signal that will vary between 0.2 and 4.9 volts depending on outside lighting conditions. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference signal to the ambient light sensor and the HVAC control module provides a low reference ground. The BCM monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit to determine if outside lighting conditions are correct for either daytime running lights (DRL) or the automatic headlamp system when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. In daylight conditions, the BCM will command the DRLs ON by applying voltage to the left and right DRL control circuits illuminating the DRLs. Any function or condition that turns on the headlamps will cancel DRL operation.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

| 1. Dome Lamps Malfunction | ||||
The dome lamp switch has 3 positions: DOOR, OFF, and ON. The ON position provides a ground for continuous operation and the dome lamps will remain illuminated until the switch is placed in either the DOOR or OFF position. When in the DOOR position, the dome lamps operation is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When any door is opened, the door ajar switch contacts close and the BCM receives a door-open input. The BCM illuminates the dome lamps when any door is opened or a door lock/unlock request is activated with the key fob. After all doors have been closed, the dome lamps will remain illuminated approximately 3 seconds after the last door closes. When the driver places the dome lamp switch in the OFF position, the dome lamps will be disabled. In the event that the dome lamps were to remain illuminated for more than 10 minutes with the vehicle ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and no doors opened, the BCM will deactivate the dome lamps control circuit to prevent total battery discharge.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
- The BCM detects a short to ground in the dome lamps control circuit.
- The BCM detects a short to ground or an open/high resistance in the F7DR (INT LAMPS) fuse B+ circuit.
The front and middle dome lamps are inoperative.
- The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
- A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free vehicle ON/OFF switch cycles have occurred.
When the F7DR (INT LAMPS) fuse is open, both dome lamps, sunshade lamps, reading lamps, and backup lamps will be inoperative. DTC B2545 will also set for the backup lamps when the vehicle is placed in the reverse gear.

The ambient light sensor is used to monitor outside lighting conditions. The ambient light sensor provides a voltage signal that will vary between 0.2 and 4.9 volts depending on outside lighting conditions. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference signal to the ambient light sensor and the HVAC control module provides a low reference ground. The BCM monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit to determine if outside lighting conditions are correct for either daytime running lights (DRL) or the automatic headlamp system when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. In daylight conditions, the BCM will command the DRLs ON by applying voltage to the left and right DRL control circuits illuminating the DRLs. Any function or condition that turns on the headlamps will cancel DRL operation.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

For headlamp operation, the body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the turn signal/multifunction switch. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is in the AUTO position, the three signal circuits are open and the BCM relies on the ambient light sensor input to turn the headlamps and daytime running lamps (DRLs) ON and OFF. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the OFF position, the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the turn signal/multifunction switch in the PARK LAMPS position, the turn signal/multifunction switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is in the HEADLAMP position, both the turn signal/multifunction switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds by commanding the park lamps and headlamps ON.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
The BCM detects a short to ground in the turn signal/multifunction switch high beam signal circuit.
The high beam headlamps will not operate.
- The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
- A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free vehicle ON/OFF switch cycles have occurred.

When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in either the turn right or turn left position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through either the right turn or left turn signal switch signal circuit. The BCM responds to the turn signal switch input by applying a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps through there respective control circuits. When a turn signal request is received by the BCM, a serial data message is sent to the instrument panel requesting the respective turn signal indicator be pulsed ON and OFF.
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

With the vehicle ON and the transmission in the reverse position, the transmission control module (TCM) sends a serial data message to the body control module (BCM). The message indicates that the gear selector is in the reverse position. The BCM applies battery voltage to the backup lamp control circuit illuminating the backup lamp. Once the driver moves the gear selector out of the reverse position, a message is sent by the TCM via serial data requesting the BCM to remove battery voltage from the backup lamp control circuit. The vehicle must be ON for the backup lamps to operate.

The body control module (BCM) supplies battery voltage to the front reading lamps and left and right sunshade lamps via the courtesy lamp control circuit. When a sunshade mirror is opened, the switch contact close allowing battery voltage to flow illuminating the respective lamps. The front reading lamps are controlled by individual switches that are activated by the operator when additional cabin lighting is required. In the event that any of these courtesy lamps were to remain illuminated for more than 10 minutes with the vehicle ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and no doors opened, the BCM will deactivate the courtesy lamp control circuit to prevent total battery discharge.
When the F7DR (INT LAMPS) fuse is open, both dome lamps, sunshade lamps, reading lamps, and backup lamps will be inoperative. DTC B2545 will also set for the backup lamps when the vehicle is placed in the reverse gear.

The ambient light sensor is used to monitor outside lighting conditions. The ambient light sensor provides a voltage signal that will vary between 0.2 and 4.9 volts depending on outside lighting conditions. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference signal to the ambient light sensor and the HVAC control module provides a low reference ground. The BCM monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit to determine if outside lighting conditions are correct for either daytime running lights (DRL) or the automatic headlamp system when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. In daylight conditions, the BCM will command the DRLs ON by applying voltage to the left and right DRL control circuits illuminating the DRLs. Any function or condition that turns on the headlamps will cancel DRL operation.
The daytime running lamps will only operate in daylight conditions with the vehicle ON and in any transmission gear except PARK.

The dome lamp switch has 3 positions: DOOR, OFF, and ON. The ON position provides a ground for continuous operation and the dome lamps will remain illuminated until the switch is placed in either the DOOR or OFF position. When in the DOOR position, the dome lamps operation is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When any door is opened, the door ajar switch contacts close and the BCM receives a door-open input. The BCM illuminates the dome lamps when any door is opened or a door lock/unlock request is activated with the key fob. After all doors have been closed, the dome lamps will remain illuminated approximately 3 seconds after the last door closes. When the driver places the dome lamp switch in the OFF position, the dome lamps will be disabled. In the event that the dome lamps were to remain illuminated for more than 10 minutes with the vehicle ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and no doors opened, the BCM will deactivate the dome lamps control circuit to prevent total battery discharge.

The hazard flashers may be activated in any power mode. The hazard warning switch signal circuit is momentarily grounded when the hazard warning switch is pressed. The body control module (BCM) responds to the hazard warning switch signal input by supplying battery voltage to all four turn signal lamps in an ON and OFF duty cycle. When the hazard warning switch is activated, the BCM sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster requesting both turn signal indicators to be cycled ON and OFF.

For headlamp operation, the body control module (BCM) monitors 3 signal circuits from the turn signal/multifunction switch. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is in the AUTO position, the 3 signal circuits are open and the BCM relies on the ambient light sensor input to turn the headlamps and daytime running lamps (DRLs) ON and OFF. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the OFF position, the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the turn signal/multifunction switch in the PARK LAMPS position, the turn signal/multifunction switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is in the HEADLAMP position, both the turn signal/multifunction switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the turn signal/multifunction switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds by commanding the park lamps and headlamps ON.
The high beam and flash to pass functions are contained within the turn signal/multifunction switch. The BCM provides the turn signal/multifunction switch with 2 signal circuits, the high beam signal circuit and the flash to pass signal circuit. When the low beam headlamps are ON and the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the high beam position, ground is applied to the BCM through the high beam signal circuit. The BCM responds to the high beam request by applying ground to the high beam relay control circuit which energizes the high beam relay. With the high beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the high beam fuses to the high beam control circuits illuminating the high beam headlamps.
When the turn signal/multifunction switch is momentarily placed in the flash to pass position, ground is applied to the BCM through the flash to pass signal circuit. The BCM responds by applying ground to the high beam relay control circuit which energizes the high beam relay illuminating the high beams for a brief moment or until the flash to pass switch is released.

The instrument panel dimmer switch is used to increase and decrease the brightness of the interior backlighting components. The instrument panel dimmer switch provides a voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) that will increase as the brightness of the lights are increased and decrease as the brightness of the lights are decreased. The BCM provides B+, low reference, and signal, circuits to the instrument panel dimmer switch. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the instrument panel dimmer switch through the instrument panel dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the LED dimming control circuits illuminating the interior backlighting to the requested level of brightness.

The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The BPP sensor provides an analog voltage signal that will increase as the brake pedal is applied. The body control module (BCM) provides a low reference signal and a 5-volt reference voltage to the BPP sensor. When the variable signal reaches a voltage threshold indicating the brakes have been applied, the BCM will apply battery voltage to the left and right stop lamp control circuits as well as the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) control circuit illuminating the left and right stop lamps and the CHMSL.

Ground is applied at all times to the turn signal/multifunction switch. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the vehicle mode switch in the SERVICE MODE or ON positions. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in either the turn right or turn left position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through either the right turn or left turn signal switch signal circuit. The BCM responds to the turn signal switch input by applying a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps through there respective control circuits. When a turn signal request is received by the BCM, a serial data message is sent to the instrument cluster requesting the respective turn signal indicator be pulsed ON and OFF.
The tail lamp outage detection circuits are low current B+ circuits that will not illuminate a test lamp.

Aiming Headlamps (Visual Aim)
| IMPORTANT | Some state and local laws specify requirements for headlamp aim. All of these laws must be complied with when performing any headlamp aiming operations. |
Headlamp aim should be checked
- When a new headlamp capsule is installed.
- If service or repairs to the front end area have (or may have) disturbed the headlamps or their mounting.
- Suspension components have been replaced or repaired.
- The area will consist of a level surface large enough to allow for a vehicle and an additional 7.62 m (25 ft) measured from face of lamps to the front of the aiming screen.
- The screen will be 1.52 m (5 ft) high x 3.66 m (12 ft) wide with a matte white surface well shaded from extraneous light, and properly adjusted to the floor on which the vehicle stands. Provisions may be made for moving the screen so it can be aligned parallel with the vehicle.
- The screen shall be provided with a fixed vertical centerline, 2 laterally adjustable vertical tapes, and 1 vertically adjustable horizontal tape.
- If a regular commercial aiming screen is not available, the screen may consist of a vertical wall having a clear uninterrupted area approximately 1.83 m (6 ft) high and 3.66 m (12 ft) wide. The surface should be finished with a washable non-gloss white paint.
- After the aiming screen has been set up in its permanent location, it is necessary to paint a reference line on the floor directly under the lens of the lamps to indicate the proper location of the headlamps when they are being aimed: Distance between headlamps (1) Center line of screen (2) Adjustable vertical pointer (3) Adjustable horizontal tape (4) Diagram of light screen (5) Vertical center line ahead of right headlamp pointer position (6) 7.62 m (25 ft) (7) Car centerline axis (8)
Prior to aiming the headlamps, the following steps must be taken
- Remove any snow, ice or mud from the vehicle.
- The vehicle must have a full tank of gas.
- Stop all other work on the vehicle.
- If any service has been performed on the vehicle, make sure that all of the components are back in their original place.
- The vehicle must be on a level surface.
- The vehicle left tires must be aligned with the reference line extending from the screen with the headlamps aligned with the vertical reference line (2).
- Do not load any cargo in the vehicle.
- The vehicle must contain 1 person or 72.56 kg (160 lb) on the driver's seat.
- Inflate the tires to the proper pressure.
- Simulate the vehicle loads if the intended use of the vehicle is for hauling heavy loads or towing a trailer.
- Rock the vehicle in order to stabilize the suspension.
- Turn ON the headlamps to low beam and observe the left and the top edges of the high intensity zone on the screen. The edges of the high intensity zone should fall within the specifications.
Headlamp Aiming Procedure
- Open the hood.
- Measure from the floor to the center of the headlamp bulb, some headlamps have an aim dot marked on the headlamp lens.
- At the screen, measure from the floor and place the horizontal tape at the measured distance.
- Measure from the reference line on the floor to the left headlamp bulb centerline.
- At the screen, measure from the reference line and place the vertical tape at the measured distance.
- Measure from the reference line on the floor to the right headlamp bulb centerline.
- At the screen, measure from the reference line and place the vertical tape at the measured distance.
- Turn on the low beam headlamps and block the light from projecting onto the screen from the passenger side headlamp.
- Adjust the vertical aim of the headlamps to the specifications required by the state and the local authorities, or as shown in step number 8.

Exterior Lamps
The exterior lighting system consist of the following lamps if equipped
- Automatic high beam assist
- Backup lamps
- Hazard warning lamps
- Headlamps
- Park, tail and license lamps
- Repeater lamps
- Rear fog lamps
- Stop lamps
- Turn signal lamps
Low Beam Headlamps
The headlamps may be turned ON in 3 different ways
- When the headlamp switch is placed in the ON position, for normal operation
- When the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTO position, for automatic lamp control
- When the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTO position, with the windshield wipers ON in daylight conditions, after a 6 second delay
The BCM will also command the low beam headlamps ON during daylight conditions when the following conditions are met
- Headlamp switch in the AUTO position
- Windshield wipers ON
- Vehicle in any gear but PARK
The body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, all three signal circuits are open. When placed in the AUTO position, the BCM monitors inputs from the ambient light sensor to determine if headlamps are required or if daytime running lamps will be activated based on outside lighting conditions. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the headlamp switch in the PARK position, the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested. When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMP position, both the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds to the inputs by illuminating the park lamps and headlamps. When the low beam headlamps are requested, the BCM applies B+ to both low beam headlamp control circuits illuminating the low beam headlamps.
When the BCM commands the low beam headlamps ON, the operator will notice the interior backlighting for the instrument cluster and the various other switches dim to the level of brightness selected by the instrument panel dimmer switch.
High Beam Headlamps
When the low beam headlamps are ON and the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the high beam position, ground is applied to the BCM through the high beam signal circuit. The BCM responds to the high beam request by applying ground to the high beam relay control circuit which energizes the high beam relay. With the high beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the left and right high beam fuses to the high beam control circuits and on to the left and right high beam headlamps illuminating the high beam headlamps.
Automatic High Beam Assist (AHBA)
The automatic high beam assist (AHBA) system operates the high beam headlamps ON and OFF automatically when the system is activated and certain conditions are met. The AHBA system consists of a front camera module that detects light and is able to identify approaching vehicles on an even, straight road at a distance of greater than 0.4 km (0.25 mi). The front camera module analyzes light color, intensity, and movement. The AHBA system will turn OFF the high beam headlamps when approaching vehicle headlamps or preceding vehicle taillights are detected by the front camera module. AHBA can be deactivated when the headlamp dimmer switch is moved from the neutral position to the high beam or flash to pass (FTP) positions. AHBA can be reactivated by operating the high beam select switch from the neutral position to the high beam position twice within 2 seconds.
The following are conditions that the AHBA system will turn the high beams off during operation
- Approaching traffic
- Preceding traffic
- Ambient light level too high due to towns or twilight situations
- Vehicle speed less than 25 mph (40 km/h)
- Delay
Note. AHBA may not operate properly if any of the following conditions exist
- Approaching and preceding vehicles lamps are undetectable due to dirt, snow, road spray, smoke, fog, or any other airborne conditions.
- The front camera module is covered with ice, dirt, snow, haze, or is obstructed.
- The vehicle is being driven on winding or hilly road conditions which would make any on coming vehicle headlamps undetectable by the AHBA.
AHBA System Activation
- Vehicle ON
- Headlamp switch placed in the AUTO position
- Select Auto High Beam ON in the vehicles customization menu
- Headlamp dimmer switch must be in the neutral position
- Outside lighting conditions must be dark
- AHBA is deactivated automatically when the front or rear fog lamps are turned ON
AHBA System Deactivation
- Manually operating the headlamp dimmer switch from neutral to high beam position
- Select Auto High Beam OFF in the vehicles customization menu
AHBA System Indicator
The status of the AHBA system is shown by a green indicator located on the instrument panel cluster. When AHBA is active, the indicator will be illuminated continuously. If the operator deactivates the AHBA system, the indicator will turn off.
Daytime Running Lamps
The daytime running lamps will illuminate continuously when the following conditions are met
- The vehicle mode switch is in the RUN or CRANK position
- The shift lever is out of the PARK position for vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions or the parking brake is released for vehicles with manual transmissions
- The low and high beam headlamps are OFF
The ambient light sensor is used to monitor outside lighting conditions. The ambient light sensor provides a voltage signal that will vary between 0.2 and 4.9 volts depending on outside lighting conditions. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference signal to the ambient light sensor and the HVAC control module provides a low reference ground. The BCM monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit to determine if outside lighting conditions are correct for either daytime running lights or automatic lamp control when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. In daylight conditions the BCM will command the designated daytime running lights ON. During low light conditions the BCM will command the low beam headlamps ON. Any function or condition that turns on the headlamps will cancel daytime running lights operation.
Flash to Pass
When the low beam headlamps are on and the turn signal/multi-function switch is momentarily placed in the flash to pass position, ground is applied to the turn signal/multi-function switch. The turn signal/multifunction switch applies ground to the BCM through the flash to pass switch signal circuit. The BCM then applies ground to the high beam relay control circuit. This energizes the high beam relay, closing the switch side contacts of the high beam relay, applying battery voltage to the left and right high beam fuses. Battery voltage is applied from the high beam fuses through the high beam voltage supply circuit to the high beam headlamp assemblies. This causes the high beam headlamps to illuminate at full brightness momentarily or until the flash to pass switch is released.
Hazard Lamps
The hazard flashers may be activated in any power mode. The hazard switch signal circuit is momentarily grounded when the hazard switch is pressed. The body control module (BCM) responds to the hazard switch signal input by supplying battery voltage to all four turn signal lamps in an ON and OFF duty cycle. When the hazard switch is activated, the BCM sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster requesting both turn signal indicators to be cycled ON and OFF.
The instrument panel dimmer switch controls the brightness of the interior backlighting components. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in a desired brightness position, the body control module (BCM) receives a signal from the instrument panel dimmer switch and responds by applying a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to the hazard switch light emitting diode (LED) backlighting control circuit illuminating the LED to the desired level of brightness.
Park, Tail and License Lamps
The park lamps, tail lamps and license plate lights are turned ON when the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK LIGHT or LOW BEAM position or anytime the headlights are requested. When the BCM receives a request from the headlamp switch to turn ON the park lamps the BCM a sends out a PWM signal, which illuminates the park lamps, tail lamps and license plate lights.
Stop Lamps
Note. Brake system does not use a brake switch, stoplight switch or brakelight switch. System uses a Brake Pedal Position Sensor to control these functions.
The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The BPP sensor provides an analog voltage signal that will increase as the brake pedal is applied. The body control module (BCM) provides a low reference signal and a 5-volt reference voltage to the BPP sensor. When the variable signal reaches a voltage threshold indicating the brakes have been applied, the BCM will apply battery voltage to the left and right stop lamp control circuits as well as the center high mounted stop lamp control circuit illuminating the left and right stop lamps and the center high mounted stop lamp.
Turn Signal Lamps
Ground is applied at all times to the turn signal/multi-function switch. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the vehicle ON/OFF switch in the Service Mode or ON position. When the turn signal/multi-function switch is placed in either the TURN RIGHT or TURN LEFT position, ground is applied to the BCM through either the right turn or left turn signal switch signal circuit. The BCM then applies a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps through their respective voltage supply circuits. When a turn signal request is received by the BCM, a serial data message is sent to the instrument cluster requesting the respective turn signal indicator be pulsed ON and OFF.
Repeater Lamps
The repeater lamps are located in the front fender. The repeater lamps are used as additional turn signal lamps, and operate as described in the Turn Signal/Hazard Flasher Lamps description.
Backup Lamps
With the engine ON and the transmission in the REVERSE position, the transmission control module (TCM) sends a serial data message to the body control module (BCM). The message indicates that the gear selector is in the REVERSE position. The BCM applies battery voltage to the backup lamps control circuit illuminating the backup lamps. Once the driver moves the gear selector out of the REVERSE position, a message is sent by the TCM via serial data requesting the BCM to remove battery voltage from the backup lamps control circuit. The vehicle must be ON for the backup lamps to operate.
Battery Run Down Protection/Inadvertent Power
To provide battery run down protection, the exterior lamps will be deactivated automatically under certain conditions. The BCM monitors the state of the headlamp switch. If the park or headlamp switch is ON when the vehicle mode switch is placed in either the CRANK or RUN position and then placed in the OFF position, the BCM initiates a 10 min timer. At the end of the 10 min, the BCM will turn off the control power output to the park lamp controls as well as the headlamp relay coils, deactivating the exterior lamps. This feature will be cancelled if any power mode other than OFF becomes active. The BCM will disable battery run down protection if any of the following conditions exist. The park or headlamp switch is placed in the ON to OFF position, and back to the ON position during battery run down protection. The BCM determined that the park or headlamp switch was not active when the vehicle mode switch was turned OFF.
Interior Lamps
The interior lamps consist of 2 groups, those which can dim from the instrument panel cluster lamps dimmer switch and those that can not dim.
Courtesy/Illuminated Entry Lamps
The following lamps may be manually turned ON by placing the interior lamp switch in the ON position, or by opening a door while the switch is in the AUTOMATIC LIGHT position.
- The dome lamp
- The liftgate lamps
- Courtesy lamps
The courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit of the body control module (BCM) supplies battery positive voltage to the dome lamp, the liftgate lamps and courtesy lamps. When any door is opened, the door jamb switch contacts close providing a door open input to the BCM. The BCM then provides a B+ to the interior lamps with the switch in the AUTO position. The interior lamps receive a ground when the switch is in the ON position.
Note. If the liftgate is opened after all the modules go to sleep, the dome light will not come on. The liftgate ajar switch input to the BCM will not wake up the BCM once it has gone to sleep, so the dome light will not come on. Once the BCM gets an input to wake it up, from remote keyless entry or a door handle, the dome light will turn on when the liftgate is opened.
If the driver inadvertently leaves any interior lamp ON, the BCM will turn it OFF after a 20 min time-out.
The courtesy lamps will turn OFF immediately if the vehicle ON/OFF switch is turned to the ON position or approximately 20 s after all doors are closed.
Keyless Entry Interior Illumination
When the BCM receives a door unlock command from the remote keyless entry transmitter, the BCM will flash the park lamps several times, illuminate the courtesy and park lamps, and illuminate the low beam headlamps at low intensity. The lamps will remain on until the vehicle ON/OFF switch is turned from the OFF position, a keyless entry transmitter door lock command is received, or after an approximate 20 s delay.
Interior Lamps Dimming
This group includes lamps which may dim. This group may use a combination of vacuum fluorescent illumination, LEDs and incandescent lamps.
- HVAC control module, head assembly
- Rear HVAC control module, head assembly
- Radio
- Rear seat audio
- The instrument panel cluster
- The PRNDL lamp, with the exception of the current gear select position
- Power window switches
- Various switches
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is turned to the ON position, the vacuum fluorescent display, radio, turns ON at maximum brightness. When the park lamps are ON, all incandescent back lighting turn ON at the dimming level indicated by the instrument panel dimmer switch. At the same time all fluorescent display displays dim to match the indicated dimming level. When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position, the park lamp supply voltage circuit provides an input to the BCM. The BCM then supplies voltage to the instrument panel dimmer switch through the dimming control circuit. The setting of the instrument panel dimmer switch determines the amount of voltage that the instrument panel dimmer switch supplies to the BCM through the instrument panel dimming lamps low reference circuit. The BCM then sends a PWM voltage to all the interior lamps. All the fluorescent display and incandescent back lighting lamps are provided a specific voltage and are then grounded. When the headlight switch is turned to the park lamp or headlamp position, all incandescent back lighting turn ON at the dimming level indicated by the instrument panel dimmer switch. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is moved from MIN to MAX, all fluorescent display displays, as well as all incandescent back lighting respond from minimum intensity to maximum brightness in response to the instrument panel dimmer switch.
Inadvertent Power
The BCM used in this vehicle controls the lighting system through circuits that enable the interior lamps. The BCM opens these enabling circuits shortly after the vehicle ON/OFF switch is turned OFF with no lamp switch activity. If the vehicle ON/OFF switch is turned to any position other than OFF, or if a lamp switch is activated during this period, the timer will reset itself.
