Exterior Lamps
The exterior lighting consist of the following lamps
- The Headlamps
- The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
- The Fog Lamps
- The Park, Tail, License and Marker Lamps
- The Turn Signal/Hazard Lamps, and Repeater Lamps
- The Stop Lamps
- The Backup Lamps
- The Position Lamps
- The Cornering Lamps
- The Underhood Lamp
Headlamps
The headlamps may be turned on in three different ways
- When the headlamp switch is placed in the ON position, for normal operation.
- When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, and the twilight delay switch is moved out of the OFF position for automatic lamp control (ALC).
- When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the twilight delay switch is moved out of the OFF position, and the windshield wipers are ON in daylight conditions, after a six second delay.
During ALC control the headlamps will be in day time running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions, or low beam operation in low light conditions. When all exterior lighting controls are inactive and nighttime conditions are sensed, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear on the driver information center (DIC), after the IPC receives a class 2 message from the DIM. The message will also appear if the wiper activated headlamps feature is off due to the twilight sentinel being off, but the windshield wipers are on. The dash integration module (DIM) provides battery positive voltage to the signal circuits of the headlamp switch. The signal circuits include the Head Lamp Switch input, and the Flash To Pass Switch.
With the headlamp switch in the ON position, the headlamps on signal circuit is grounded through the headlamp switch to G200. In response to this input, the DIM provides ground to the HDLP LO BM relay control circuit. The IPC illuminates the LIGHTS ON indicator when the DIM detects that the headlamps are requested. When the headlamp dimmer switch lever is pushed away from the driver to the HIGH BEAM position, the HDLP HI BM relay has ground through the headlamp dimmer switch. This Illuminates the high beam headlamps in addition to the low beams. The IPC illuminates the high beam indicator when the DIM detects that the high beam headlamps are requested. The DIM supplies battery positive voltage to the relay coil circuits, if the headlamps are necessary. The underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both relay switch circuits. When the low beam relay coil is energized, current flows through the HDLOBML fuse and the HDLOBMR fuse to the low beam headlamps. The headlamps have ground at G401. When the HDLP HI BM relay coil is energized, current flows through the HDHIBML fuse and the HDHIBMR fuse to the high beam headlamps. The high beam circuit is divided into a left and right side circuit. The current flow of the left high beam is from the fuse to the left high beam lamp. From the lamp, the current flows to the normally-closed contact of the daytime running lamp (DRL) relay to G104. The current flow of the right high beam is from the fuse to the right high beam headlamp. From the lamp, the current flow is to ground at G401. When the headlamp dimmer switch lever is pulled toward the driver, the Flash-To-Pass switch closes. This grounds the DIM Flash-To-Pass input. In response to this input, the DIM energizes the high beam relay. Both high beams remain on until the driver releases the switch handle. If the low beam headlamps were on during Flash-To-Pass operation, the low beams remain on.
Headlamps w/High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Normal operation of the HID system starts at the ballast. The headlamp ballast input connector receives the headlamp low beam supply voltage, which would normally be used to directly supply the low beam headlamp. Each ballast has a separate ground at G104. As soon as the input power is applied, the ballast draws 20?amps from the battery for 5-10?seconds (depending on the input voltage level). The ballast is then able to charge the two outputs leading to the start to -360?volts and +800?volts. -360?volts and +800?volts are the voltages needed by the starter to strike, or start, the lamp. HID headlamps do not have filaments like traditional bulbs. Instead, the starter uses a high-voltage transformer to convert the +800?volts input power into 25,000?volts. The increased voltage is used in order to create an arc between the electrodes in the bulb. The creation of this arc begins the start up process.
Low Voltage Operation of HID Headlamps
The DIM monitors the vehicle's system voltage while in the RUN power mode. When the system voltage drops below 8.9 volts, the following will occur
STAGE 1: If the low beam headlamps are on, whether manually or automatically the DIM will turn ON the high beam headlamps by activating it's High Beam output.
When the system voltage drops below 8.5 volts, the following will occur
- STAGE 2: If the low beam headlamps are currently on, whether manually or automatically the DIM will turn OFF the low beam headlamps by deactivating it's Low Beam output.
- If the headlamps are turned on manually, the manual switch redundancy will cause the low beam headlamps to remain on.
- If the headlamp dimmer switch is in the HIGH BEAM position, the low beam headlamps will remain on. The DIM's High Beam output will apply ground through the high beam contact of the headlamp dimmer switch to the low beam relay coil.
If during the same ignition cycle, the DIM enters either STAGE 1 or STAGE 2 operations noted above, then determines that the system voltage has risen, the following will occur
- If the DIM has entered STAGE 2 operation, it will not return to STAGE 1 operation until the system voltage rises above 9.4 volts.
- If the DIM has entered STAGE 1 operation, it will not return to normal operation until the system voltage rises above 9.8 volts.
Electrical System Requirements (w/HID)
Ensure that the battery and the harness are capable of supplying up to 20 amps of current per ballast, with less than 2 volts of system loss or voltage drop. Each ballast requires the 20 amps in order to ensure normal start-up and run up of the lamp. (Run up is the term used to describe the extra power level given to the bulb from the -360 volt ballast output.) The input current during the steady state operation in 3.4 amps at 12.8 volts.
Run Up Of The Lamp (w/HID)
After the lamp receives the strike from the starter and the arc is established, the ballast uses its -360 volt output in order to provide the run up power needed in order to keep the lamp on. The lamp rapidly increases in intensity from a dim glow to a very high-intensity, bright light called a steady state. Within 2 seconds of the arc being established in the bulb, 70% of steady state is complete. 100% of the steady state is completed within 30 seconds. A 75-watt power level is necessary in order to bring the lamp to a steady state in such a short period of time. The 75-watt power level allows the lamp to meet the SAE light vs. time specification.
When To Change The HID Bulb
Bulb failure (end of life) occurs when the bulb gets older and becomes unstable. The bulb may begin shutting itself off sporadically and unpredictably at first, perhaps only once during a 24-hour period. When the bulb begins shutting itself off occasionally, the ballast will automatically turn the bulb back on again within 0.5 seconds. The ballast will re-strike the bulb so quickly that the bulb may not appear to have shut off. As the bulb ages, the bulb may begin to shut off more frequently, eventually over 30 times per minute. When the bulb begins to shut off more frequently, the ballast receives excessive, repetitive current input (20 amp). Repetitive and excessive restarts or re-strikes, without time for the ballast to cool down, will permanently damage the ballast. As a safeguard, when repetitive re-strikes are detected, the ballast will not attempt to re-strike the lamp. The ballast then shuts down and the bulb goes out.
The following symptoms are the noticeable signs of bulb failure
- A flickering light, caused in the early stages of bulb failure
- The lights go out, caused when the ballast detects excessive, repetitive bulb re-strike
- Color change - the lamp may change to a dim pink glow
Input power to the ballast must be terminated in order to reset the ballast's fault circuitry. In order to terminate the input power to the ballast, turn the lights off and back on again. Turning the lights off and back on again resets all of the fault circuitry within the ballast until the next occurrence of excessive, repetitive bulb re-strikes. When excessive, repetitive bulb re-strikes occur, replace the starter/arc tube assembly. The ballast will begin the start-up process when the starter/arc tube assembly is replaced. Repeatedly resetting the input power can overheat the internal components and cause permanent damage to the ballast. Allow a few minutes of cool-down time in between reset attempts.
Bulb failures are often sporadic at first, and difficult to repeat. Technicians can identify bulb failure by observing if the problem gets progressively worse over the next 100 hours of operation.
Light Color (w/HID)
White light has a different color rating than regular headlamps. The range of white light that is acceptable is broad when compared to halogens. Therefore, some variation in headlight coloring between the right and left headlamp will be normal. One HID at the end of the normal range may appear considerably different in color from one at the other end of the range. Difference in color is normal. Replace the arc tube only if the arc tube is determined to be at the bulb failure stage.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps are located in the headlamp assembly. They are clear and illuminate the peripheral turn area of the vehicle. The cornering lamps will illuminate when all of the following conditions exist
- The ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.
- The park lamps are on.
- The turn signal switch is placed in a position to indicate a left turn or a right turn.
When the park lamps are on, battery positive voltage is supplied to the turn signal switch. When the turn signal switch is placed in the position to indicate a LH or RH turn, battery positive voltage is supplied to the appropriate cornering lamp from the turn signal switch. Both cornering lamps have ground at G401.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
With the daytime running lamps programmed to be on, the DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the ON position, the gear selector is out of the PARK position, the headlamp switch is in the OFF position, and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions. The ambient light sensor is a light sensitive variable resistor that varies its resistance according to the level of (outside) ambient light. The IPM receives an input voltage proportional to the resistance of the ambient light sensor. When the IPM receives this signal, the IPM sends a class 2 message to the DIM and to the rear integration module (RIM). When the headlamp switch is in AUTO, the DIM either turns on the DRL or turns on the low beam headlights, after a 20 second delay depending on whether daylight or low light conditions are sensed. Any function or condition that turns on the headlights will cancel the DRL operation. The DRL fuse in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the DRL relay switch. Battery positive voltage is also supplied to the DRL relay coil from the underhood fuse block which is energized by the DIM. When the DIM energizes the DRL relay coil, the current flows from the switch contacts of the DRL relay to the left high beam. After the left high beam, the current flows through the HDHIBML fuse and through the HDHIBMR fuse. The current continues through the right high beam to ground G401. The high beam headlamps are now in series, which reduces the intensity. The DRL operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, and the parking brake is not set or the transmission is not in park. When these conditions have been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate.
Daytime Running Lamps (Norway and Sweden)
The DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the ON position, the gear selector is out of the PARK position, the headlamp switch is in the OFF position, and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions. Battery positive voltage is supplied from the rear fuse block EXPORT LGT fuse to the DRL relay coil and switch. When the Dash Integration Module (DIM) determines that conditions are present to activate the DRL, the DIM grounds the DRL relay coil. This energizes the DRL relay coil. Battery positive voltage is supplied through the DRL relay switch and to each low beam headlamp. The low beam headlamps have ground at G401. The park lamps will also illuminate.
Twilight Sentinel
The twilight delay switch in the headlamp switch assembly is supplied a 5 volt reference from the instrument panel integration module (IPM). The IPM also provides ground to the twilight delay switch. The switch is a potentiometer in which the resistance varies as the switch is moved. The IPM receives an input voltage proportional to the resistance of the potentiometer through the twilight delay signal circuit. The IPM sends a class 2 message to the dash integration module (DIM) indicating the on/off status and delay length for the twilight sentinel. With the twilight sentinel switch in any position other than OFF, the DIM will turn the headlamps on or off according to the daytime/nighttime status sent by the IPM. The DIM uses the twilight delay signal in order to keep the headlamps and park lamps on after the ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF during nighttime conditions.
Front Fog Lamps
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, the front fog lamps will illuminate when the driver places the front fog lamp switch in the ON position. The front fog lamps will deactivate when the high beam headlamps are turned on. The underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the switch circuit of the FOG LP relay. Ignition voltage is available to the FOG LP relay coil. The Dash Integration Module (DIM) controls the FOG LP relay coil. When the front fog lamp switch is ON, the front fog lamp input of the Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM) has ground. In response to this input, the IPM sends a class 2 message to the DIM, which energizes the FOG LP relay. The IPC illuminates the front fog lamp indicator when the IPC receives a class 2 message from the DIM after the front fog lamps have been requested. When the DIM energizes the FOG LP relay, the current flows from the FOG LP relay switch to both front fog lamps. The front fog lamps have ground at G401. The state of the front fog lamps (on or off) will remain the same until the front fog lamp switch is pressed again, even between ignition cycles. When the front fog lamps are on, the park lamps will also be activated.
Rear Fog Lamps
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position and the headlamps or the front fog lamps are on, the rear fog lamps will illuminate when the driver places the rear fog lamp switch in the ON position. The rear fog lamps will return to off between ignition cycles. If a flash-to-pass function is performed, the rear fog lamps will not turn off. The rear compartment relay center supplies battery positive voltage to the switch circuit of the RR FOG LP relay. Ignition voltage is available to the RR FOG LP relay coil. The Rear Integration Module (RIM) controls the RR FOG LP relay coil. When the rear fog lamp switch is placed in the ON position, the rear fog lamp input of the instrument panel integration module (IPM) has ground. In response to this input, the IPM sends a class 2 message to the RIM, which energizes the RR FOG LP relay. The IPC illuminates the rear fog lamp indicator when the IPC receives a class 2 message from the RIM after the rear fog lamps have been requested. When the RIM energizes the RR FOG LP relay, the current flows from the RR FOG LP relay switch to both rear fog lamps. The rear fog lamps have ground at G402.
Park, Tail, License and Marker Lamps
The park, tail, license and marker lamps are turned on when the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK LAMP or HEADLAMP position or anytime the headlights are requested. The park lamps are also turned on with the front fog lamps. When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the DIM provides battery positive voltage to the controlled positive voltage circuit of the PRK LP relay coil. The rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the switch contacts of the PRK LP relay. When the headlamp switch is in the PARK LAMP or the HEADLAMP position, the signal circuit of the park lamp switch of the DIM has ground at G200. In response to this signal, the DIM provides ground to the control circuit of the PRK LP relay coil, which energizes the relay coil. This closes the relay switch contacts. Current flows from the PRK LP relay to the LP PK L fuse and to the LP PK R fuse. From the fuse, the current flows to the park lamps. The park lamps are grounded at G401 and G402. The DIMR fuse supplies battery positive voltage to the license lamps and to the DIM park lamp input, for interior lamps dimming. The license lamps are grounded at G402.
Position Lamps
The position lamps are on export vehicles only. Each lamp is located in the headlamp assembly. European countries require that side position lamps are activated when the vehicle is parked along the side of the road. The position function operates only when the gear selector is in the PARK position. The front position lamp and respective tail lamp illuminate when the headlamp switch is placed in the left or right position. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the STANDING LP relay coil and switch. Battery positive voltage is supplied through the normally closed relay contacts of the STANDING LP relay switch to each POSN LP relay coil. When the gear selector is in the PARK position, the dash integration module (DIM) grounds the STANDING LP relay coil which removes battery positive voltage from each POSN LP relay coil. The position lamps illuminate only when the ignition switch is in the OFF position. Battery positive voltage is supplied to each POSN LP relay switch. When the headlamp switch is placed in the RH PARK or the LH PARK position, the appropriate POSN LP relay coil is grounded through the headlamp switch contact. Battery positive voltage is then supplied to the appropriate position lamp and the respective tail/stop lamp. Both position lamps have ground at G401.
Remote Keyless Entry Exterior Lamp Illumination
When the remote function actuator (RFA) module receives a door UNLOCK command from the remote function actuator transmitter, the RFA will send a class 2 message to the dash integration module (DIM). The DIM must have inputs that indicate that the ignition switch is OFF, all the doors are closed, and the ambient light sensor is indicating low light conditions. The DIM will then activate the headlamp relay and park lamp relay. The DIM will flash the headlamps and park lamps twice, then keep them on approximately 25 seconds or until a door is opened. When the RFA module receives a door LOCK command from the remote function actuator transmitter, The DIM will flash the headlights and park lights once. In daylight conditions, the DIM will activate the park lamp relay only to flash the park lamps twice with a door UNLOCK command and once with a door LOCK command from the remote function actuator transmitter.
Turn Signal Lamps
The TSIG/HAZ fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the flasher module. The module is part of the hazard switch assembly. The flasher module has ground at G201. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the ignition switch in the ON or START position. The IGN-1 fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the turn signal switch. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, current flows from the turn signal switch assembly to the flasher module. The flasher module then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument cluster (IPC) indicator: When the hazard switch is pressed, the switch contacts are close and the turn signal/hazard flasher module hazard input is grounded. In response to this input, the turn signal/hazard flasher module supplies battery positive voltage in an on and off flashing pattern to all the turn signal lamps. This also activates both turn signal indicators. When a THEFT is occurring, the Dash Integration Module (DIM) grounds the turn signal/hazard flasher module hazard input. The left turn signals have ground at G401 and at G402. The right turn signals have ground at G401.
Repeater Lamps
The repeater lamps are on export vehicles only. Each lamp is located in the front fender. The repeater lamps are used as additional turn signal lamps, and operate as described above. The repeater lamps have ground at G104.
Stop Lamps
The STOP LP fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the switch contacts close. The battery positive voltage flows to the left stop lamp assemblies, to the right stop lamp assemblies, and to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL). The left stop lamp and the CHMSL have ground at G402. The right stop lamp has ground at G401.
Backup Lamps
The rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the coil and to the switch terminals of the reverse lamp relay. Battery positive voltage to the switch terminal is available through the NSBU fuse. The dash integration module (DIM) sends a power mode message to the rear integration module (RIM) indicating that the ignition is in the ON position. When the driver places the gear selector in the REVERSE position, the powertrain control module (PCM) sends a class 2 message to the RIM. The message indicates that the gear selector lever is in the REVERSE position. The RIM then energizes the reverse lamp relay and the backup lamps illuminate. Current flows from the reverse lamp relay switch to the backup lamps. The backup lamps have ground at G402.
Underhood Lamp
The underhood lamp is located in the engine compartment, on the left rear of the hood. When the park lamps are on, battery positive voltage is supplied to the underhood lamp. The underhood lamp has ground at G101. When the hood is opened, The switch in the underhood lamp closes and provides ground to the underhood lamp.
Battery Run Down Protection/Inadvertent Power
To provide battery run down protection, the exterior lamps will be deactivated automatically under certain conditions. The dash integration module (DIM) monitors the state of the headlamp switch. If the park or headlamp switch is ON when the ignition switch is placed in either the CRANK or RUN position and then placed in the OFF position, the DIM initiates a 10 minute timer. At the end of the 10 minutes, the DIM will turn off the control power output to the park and headlamp relay coils, deactivating the exterior lamps. This feature will be cancelled if any power mode other than OFF becomes active.
The DIM 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 DIM determined that the park or headlamp switch was not active when the ignition was turned OFF.
Interior Lamps
The interior lamps consist of two groups. The first group are those lamps which may not be dimmed. The second group includes lamps that may be dimmed.
Courtesy/Illuminated Entry Lamps
Courtesy/illuminated entry lamps are lamps that may be illuminated by opening a door, manually operating a switch, or through a remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) command. This group consists of the following lamps
- The courtesy/reading lamps
- The door courtesy lamps
- The footwell lamps
- The ignition key cylinder lamp
- The vanity mirror lamps
- The IP compartment lamp
- The rear compartment lamp
Courtesy/Illuminated Entry: The INT LP fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open switch contacts of the INT LP relay. The rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the FRT CTSY relay coil and the RR CTSY relay coil. The door modules communicate on a simple bus interface (SBI). When you open any door, the switch contacts of the door jamb close. When a door open input is grounded, that door module sends a message to the driver door module (DDM) in order to indicate that a door is open. The DDM then sends a class 2 message to the rear integration module (RIM) in order to indicate which door is open. When the ambient light sensor indicates low light conditions, the RIM activates the INT LP relay in order to provide battery positive voltage to the interior courtesy lamps. When any front door is opened, the RIM will energize the FRT CTSY relay grounding the overhead courtesy/reading lamps, the foot well lamps, and all door courtesy lamps to G301. The driver door module will also illuminate all backlit components in the driver's door at full brightness. The ignition key cylinder lamp will also illuminate. When any rear door is opened, the RIM will energize both the FRT CTSY relay and the RR CTSY relay. The rear courtesy/reading lamps then illuminate, since they are grounded to G402. The driver door module will also illuminate all backlit components in the driver's door at full brightness. The ignition key cylinder lamp will also illuminate. When all of the doors have been closed, the courtesy lamps will remain illuminated for approximately 25 seconds. If the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, or the interior lamp switch is placed in the OFF position before the end of the elapsed period the lamps will deactivate immediately, except for the driver's door switch backlighting. The courtesy lamps will also deactivate immediately if an all door lock command is received with all of the doors closed.
Ignition Key Cylinder Lamp: When the interior lamps are activated by the RCDLR, by opening any door, or by placing the interior lamp switch in the ON position, the ignition key cylinder lamp will illuminate. The RIM sends a class 2 message to the instrument panel integration module (IPM) to activate the ignition key cylinder lamp.
IP Compartment Lamp: The RIM energizes the interior lamp relay which provides battery positive voltage to the instrument panel (IP) compartment lamp. When the IP compartment is opened, its switch closes to provide a ground circuit and the IP compartment lamp illuminates.
Keyless Entry Illumination: When the RCDLR receives a door unlock command from the keyless entry transmitter, the RCDLR will send a class 2 message to the rear integration module (RIM) indicating that an UNLOCK command was received. The RIM must have inputs that indicate that the ignition switch is OFF, all the doors are closed, and the ambient light sensor is indicating low light conditions. The interior lamp switch must not be in the OFF position. The RIM will then activate the interior lamp relay, providing battery positive voltage to the interior lamps, and activate both the FRT CTSY relay and the RR CTSY relay. The RIM will keep all of the courtesy lamps on for approximately 40 seconds. If the door locks are activated to the LOCK position the courtesy lamps will deactivate immediately. The courtesy lamps will also turn off immediately if the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position.
Manual Interior Lighting: The interior lamps may also be illuminated manually in any ambient light status. The 3 positions of the interior lamp switch in the overhead console are ON, AUTO, and OFF. The ON and OFF positions are inputs to the IPM. When the interior lamp switch is placed in the ON position, the interior lamp switch on signal circuit is grounded to G402. The IPM then sends a class 2 message to the RIM to activate all courtesy lamps. When the interior lamp switch is in the OFF position, the courtesy lamps will not illuminate under any circumstances, except post SIR deployment.
Reading Lamps: The RIM energizes the interior lamp relay which provides battery positive voltage to the reading lamps. By placing a reading lamp switch in the ON position the switch closes and provides a path to ground and the reading lamp illuminates.
Rear Compartment Lamp: The RIM energizes the interior lamp relay which provides battery positive voltage to the rear compartment lamp. When the rear deck lid opens, the rear compartment lamp switch in the latch assembly closes to provide a ground for the rear compartment lamp.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) Interior Illumination: When the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system is activated, all courtesy lamps will illuminate. The inflatable restraint sensor and diagnostic module (SDM) sends a class 2 message to the RIM. The ignition switch must be in the RUN position. The RIM will activate both the FRT CTSY relay and the RR CTSY relay approximately 15 seconds after airbag deployment, regardless of ambient light status or the position of the interior lamp switch. The interior lamps will remain illuminated until there is a change in power mode.
Vanity Mirror Lamps: The RIM energizes the interior lamp relay which provides battery positive voltage to the vanity mirror lamps. When the vanity mirror cover on the sunshade is opened, its switch closes to provide a ground circuit and the vanity lamp illuminates. The vanity mirror lamp may be dimmed by the sliding switch next to the mirror. The switch is a potentiometer in which the resistance varies as the switch is moved. As the resistance of the potentiometer increases, the vanity lamp receives less voltage. The vanity lamp then becomes dimmer.
Interior Lamps Dimming
Interior lamp dimming are lamps that may be dimmed by operating the IP Dimmer switch. This group consist of the following lamps
- The door switches and the window switches
- The HVAC control head assembly
- The radio
- The instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- The headlamp switch assembly
- The hazard warning switch
- The ashtray lamp
- The shift indicator lamp
- The driver information center (DIC) switches
- The traction control switch
- The heated seat and the memory seat switches
- The steering wheel controls
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays turn on at maximum brightness. When the park lamps are on and the ambient light sensor indicates low light conditions, all incandescent back lighting and vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays turn on at the dimming level indicated by the IP dimmer switch. The rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open switch of the PRK LP relay. The dash integration module (DIM) provides battery positive voltage to the PRK LP relay coil. The DIM also provides ground to the control circuit of the PRK LP relay coil. When the DIM energizes the park lamp relay, current flows through the PRK LP relay switch to the DIMR fuse to the instrument panel lamp fuse supply voltage-1 circuit of the DIM. With the park lamps on, the DIM sends pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to the backlight lamps control circuit in response to an input from the instrument panel integration module (IPM). The potentiometer of the IP dimmer switch receives a reference voltage and ground from the IPM. The potentiometer is an input to the IPM. When the driver selects a dimming setting, the IPM responds with a message to the DIM indicating this setting. All vacuum fluorescent (VF) lamps and all incandescent back lighting lamps have ground at G200 and at G201. When the IP dimmer switch is moved from MIN to MAX, all vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays, as well as all incandescent back lighting respond from Minimum intensity to maximum brightness in response to the IP dimmer switch. The instrument cluster provides a 54 volt supply to the instrument panel integration module (IPM). The supply circuit is used to power the HVAC vacuum fluorescent (VF) display. The incandescent back lighting for the doors also operates in response to a class 2 message regarding dimming intensity. The IPM sends the message to the driver door module (DDM). The DDM sends a simple bus interface (SBI) message regarding dimming intensity to all the other door modules. The driver may select parade mode by manually turning on the park lamps during daylight conditions. The front park lamp circuit supplies voltage to the instrument panel cluster, radio and HVAC assembly for a park lamp on input, and the displays will become full bright.
To provide battery run down protection, the interior lamps will be deactivated automatically under certain conditions. The rear integration module (RIM) initiates a 10 minute timer if the interior lamp relay control output is still active, and the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The RIM timer is set to 3 minutes until the vehicle mileage is above 15 miles. At the end of the designated time, the RIM will deactivate the interior lamp relay, the FRT CTSY relay, and the RR CTSY relay disabling the interior lamps. This feature will be cancelled if any power mode other than OFF becomes active. The timer will reset if any of the doors are opened prior to the timer expiring. The timer will not reset if the rear compartment lamp switch, any of the reading lamp switches, the IP compartment lamp switch, or any of the vanity lamp switches are in the ON position when the timer expires.

Circuit Description
The IPM monitors the ambient light conditions through the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor is a variable resistor whose resistance changes as the ambient light level around it changes. As the ambient light decreases, the resistance of the ambient light sensor increases. The value of the input will be between 5 and 250 Counts.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition switch is in the ON position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The IPC will set the DTC B2419 when it detects that the ambient light sensor input is less than 5 counts or greater than 250 counts for three seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The IPC will assume that the ambient light level indicates darkness for all functions needing the outside light status.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The IPM sees that the ambient light sensor input is between 5 and 250 Counts.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table
Scheme 162
Scheme 163
- 1. Perform the Lighting Systems Diagnostic System Check before continuing with the diagnosis of this DTC.
- 2. Checks if the value that the Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM) is reading from the ambient light sensor is within the valid range.
- 3. Checks if the value that the Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM) is reading from the ambient light sensor is too High.
- 4. Checks if the value that the Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM) is reading from the ambient light sensor is too low.
The twilight delay pot sensor is a potentiometer. The instrument panel integration module (IPM) determines the control setting based on the voltage from the twilight delay pot sensor. As the resistance of the twilight delay switch varies, the voltage input to the IPM changes. The IPM performs a diagnostic test on the twilight delay input circuit every 150 milliseconds.
- The ignition switch is in the ON position.
- The IP dimmer switch is set to MAXIMUM.
- The headlamps are ON.
The IPM will set the DTC B2420 when it detects that twilight delay input is less than 5 Counts or greater than 250 counts for 3 consecutive tests.
The IPM will assume that the twilight switch is on and the twilight delay indicates the maximum.
The IPM sees that the twilight delay input is between 5 and 250 Counts.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

- 3. Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the high voltage range.
- 4. Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range. If the fuse in the jumper opens when you perform this test, the signal circuit is shorted to voltage.
- 5. Tests for a short to ground in the 5 volt reference circuit.
The interior lamp rheostat is a potentiometer. The Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM) determines the control setting based on the voltage from the interior lamp rheostat. The IPM monitors the voltage in the instrument panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit every 150 milliseconds.
The ignition switch is in the ON position.
The interior lamp rheostat is less than 17 Counts or greater than 240 counts on 3 consecutive tests.
Set dimming level to full brightness for all displays.
The IPM detects that the interior lamp rheostat is between 17 and 240 Counts.
