Circuit/System Description
Voltage for the interior backlighting components and stop lamp switch activation signal is supplied from the body control module (BCM). The BCM applies a voltage reference through the instrument panel (I/P) dimming voltage reference circuit to the interior lamp dimming switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the dimming switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the interior lamp dimming switch through the I/P dimming control circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies the dimmed voltage to the I/P lamps supply voltage circuit and they dim to the correct level.
The stop lamp switch is also supplied voltage on the same circuit for a stop lamp OFF signal to the BCM. When the stop lamp switch is activated the voltage signal circuit to the BCM is opened prompting the BCM to illuminate the stop lamps.
Voltage is applied at all times to the fog lamp relay. When the fog lamp switch is placed in the ON position, a ground signal is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the fog lamp switch signal circuit. The BCM then applies a ground to the front fog lamp control circuit. This engages the fog lamp relay and applies voltage through the FOG LAMP fuse to the front fog lamps.
When the PRNDL is placed in the REVERSE position, a signal is sent to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies voltage through the backup lamps relay control circuit to the BACK/UP lamp relay in the underhood fuse block, inside rearview mirror, and rearview camera module. The BACK/UP lamp relay then illuminates the backup lamps.
The low beam headlamps are controlled by the body control module (BCM). The BCM grounds the headlamp low beam relay control circuit in order to energize the LO BEAM relay coil. The LO BEAM relay then sends voltage to the low beam headlamps.
When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, the body control module (BCM) receives a ground signal through the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit and no signal on the headlamp switch headlamp ON signal circuit and headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit. When the headlamp switch is in the PARK or HEAD position, the BCM receives no signal through the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit and a ground signal through the headlamp switch headlamp ON signal circuit and headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit.
Voltage is applied at all times to the high beam headlamp relay from battery voltage. When the multifunction switch is placed in either the FTP or HIGH position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a ground to the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. This engages the relay and applies voltage through the HI HEADLAMP fuses to both left and right high beam headlamps.
Voltage is applied at all times to the park lamp relay from battery voltage. When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position and the body control module (BCM) commands the park lamps ON, the BCM then applies a ground to the park lamp relay control circuit. This engages the relay and applies voltage through the park lamp fuses and to all the park, license, and tail lamps.
The daytime running lamps (DRL) are controlled by the body control module (BCM). The BCM grounds the DRL relay control circuit in order to energize the DRL relay coil. The DRL relay then sends voltage to the dedicated DRL or low beam headlamps.
When the instrument panel lamps dimmer switch is activated, a variable voltage signal is applied through the LED dimmer switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a message on the low speed GMLAN serial data communication circuit to the door switches to illuminate the switch backlighting. The BCM, driver door switch, and passenger door switch then applies a variable voltage signal through the LED dimming supply circuit to the components on that circuit.
Voltage for the courtesy lamps is supplied from body control module (BCM), driver door switch, and passenger door switch. When a door is opened, a signal is applied to the door module. The door module then applies a message on the low speed GMLAN serial data communication circuit to the BCM to activate the courtesy lamps. The BCM then applies voltage to the courtesy lamps voltage supply circuit and the components on that circuit.
When the interior lamps dimming switch is activated, a variable voltage signal is applied through the instrument panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a variable voltage signal through the LED indicator dimming supply circuit to the components on the circuit.
The ambient light sensor is used to monitor outside lighting conditions. The ambient light sensor provides a voltage signal that will vary depending on outside lighting conditions. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference signal to the ambient light sensor. The BCM monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit to determine if outside lighting conditions are correct for either daytime running lights (DRL) or automatic lamp control (ALC) when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. In daylight conditions, the BCM will command the DRLs ON. In low light conditions, when the headlamps switch is in AUTO position, the BCM will command the low beam headlamps ON.
The body control module (BCM) applies a 12-volt reference voltage through the headlamp and panel dimmer switch 12-volt reference circuit to the headlamp and panel dimmer switch. When the dimming switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the headlamp and panel dimmer switch through the instrument panel (I/P) lamp dimming switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies the dimmed voltage to the I/P lamp dimming control circuit and the components on the circuit.
When the brake pedal is applied, the brake pedal switch normally closed contact signal circuit voltage is interrupted to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a voltage to the stop lamp supply voltage circuit to the stop lamps.

When the brake pedal is applied, the brake pedal switch normally closed contact signal circuit voltage is interrupted to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a voltage to the CHMSL supply voltage circuit to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL).
When the PRNDL is placed in the REVERSE position, a signal is sent to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies voltage through the backup lamps relay control circuit to the BACK/UP lamp relay in the underhood fuse block, and the inside rearview mirror. The BACK/UP lamp relay then illuminates the backup lamps.
Voltage for the courtesy lamps is supplied from body control module (BCM), driver door switch, and passenger door switch. When a door is opened, a signal is applied to the door module. The door module then applies a message on the low speed GMLAN serial data communication circuit to the BCM to activate the courtesy lamps. The BCM then applies voltage to the courtesy lamps voltage supply circuit and the components on that circuit.
The daytime running lamps (DRL) are controlled by the body control module (BCM). The BCM grounds the DRL relay control circuit in order to energize the DRL relay coil. The DRL relay then sends voltage to the daytime running lamps.
The hazard switch signal circuit is referenced from battery voltage by the BCM. When the hazard switch is activated, the signal circuit is grounded through the switch and the signal circuit voltage goes low. The BCM then sends an ON-OFF voltage signal through the fuses to the appropriate turn signal and side repeater lamps or to all of the turn signal fuses for hazard operation.
The low beam headlamps are controlled by the BCM through the headlamp low beam relay, and the high beams are controlled by the BCM through the high beam relay. Both relays are supplied battery voltage and are energized when the BCM grounds the low side drive control circuits. The headlamp on switch and high/low beam select switch signal circuits are referenced from battery voltage by the BCM. When a switch is activated the signal circuit is grounded, and the BCM determines the switch is active when the signal circuit voltage is low.
The high beam headlamps are controlled by the BCM through the high beam relay. The relay is supplied battery voltage and is energized when the BCM grounds the low side drive control circuit. The flash to pass switch signal circuit is referenced from battery voltage by the BCM and when the switch is activated the signal circuit is grounded, and the BCM determines the switch is active when the signal circuit voltage is low.
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the high beam indicator when the BCM detects that the high beams are requested. The IPC receives a message from the BCM requesting illumination.
When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the radio VF display turns ON at maximum brightness. When the park lamps are ON, all incandescent and LED back lighting turn ON at the dimming level indicated by the instrument panel (I/P) dimmer switch. At the same time all VF displays dim to match the indicated dimming level. The panel dimmer switch potentiometer is an input to the body control module (BCM). When the driver selects a dimming setting by moving the I/P dimming switch potentiometer, all incandescent back lighting lamps are provided with a specific voltage. When the I/P dimmer switch is moved from MIN to MAX, all VF displays, as well as all incandescent back lighting respond from minimum intensity to maximum brightness in response to the I/P dimmer switch
The park, tail and marker lamps, including the license lamps, are turned ON when the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK or HEAD position or anytime the headlights are requested. The underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park lamp relay switch contacts and the park lamp coil circuit. The BCM provides a ground or control circuit to the park lamp relay coil circuit. When the park lamps are turned ON, the BCM energizes the park lamp relay. If the headlight switch is left in the ON position, the inadvertent power control feature will turn OFF the park, tail and marker lamps approximately 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. If the driver places the headlight switch in the ON position after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, or if the ignition switch is in the ACCY position, the park, tail and marker lamps will remain ON until turned OFF or the battery runs dead.

The inadvertent power supply voltage circuit of the body control module (BCM) provides battery positive voltage to the reading lamps. The reading lamps and switch are integral to the courtesy/reading lamp assembly. When the switch is closed, voltage is supplied and the lamp illuminates.
When the driver presses the brake pedal, the switch contacts close and battery positive voltage is supplied to the BCM. The BCM then supplies voltage to the stop lamp and stop/turn lamp control circuits. The BCM also supplies a control voltage illuminating the CHMSL.
When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, a ground signal is completed from the turn signal switch to the BCM. When the hazard flasher switch is activated, a ground signal is completed from the turn signal/hazard switch to the BCM. The BCM then sends an ON-OFF voltage signal through the fuses to the appropriate turn signal and side repeater (export only) lamps or to all of the turn signal fuses for hazard operation. The driver door switch and passenger door switch also receive voltage from the BCM turn signal supply voltage circuits for the mirror turn signals. The door switches have no function or control of the mirror turn signals other than a pass through connection for the circuits. The audio chime is also activated when the turn signals are ON. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives the signals to activate the turn signal indicators over the GMLAN serial data system.
The inadvertent power supply voltage circuit of the body control module (BCM) provides battery positive voltage to each vanity mirror lamp. When the vanity mirror cover on the sunshade is opened, a switch closes to provide a ground circuit and the vanity lamp illuminates.
