Exterior Lamps

The exterior lighting system consist of the following lamps

1. The headlamps
2. The daytime running lamps (DRL)
3. The front fog lamps
4. The park, tail and marker lamps
5. The turn signal lamps
6. The stop lamps
7. The backup lamps

Headlamps

The major common components of this system are the body control module (BCM), ambient light sensor, multifunction switch, park brake switch, and the headlamps.

The headlamps may be turned on in 2 different ways. First, when the driver places the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMP position, normal operation occurs. Second, with the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTO position, automatic lamp control (ALC) occurs. During ALC control, the headlamps will be in daytime running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions, or low beam operation in low light conditions.

The low beam relay and high beam relay receive battery positive voltage directly from the battery through the HDM and COILS fuses in the underhood fuse block. The BCM supplies a ground signal to the low beam relay coil for automatic headlamp control and normal headlamp operation. The BCM also supplies ground to the high beam relay coil for high beam headlamp operation. When the driver places the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMP position and the dimmer switch is in the low beam position, the low beam relay energizes sending current flow through the left and right low beam headlamp fuses to both low beam headlamps. The dimmer switch sends a ground signal to the BCM in the high beam position and a momentary ground signal in the flash-to-Pass (FTP) position from G102 to deactivate the low beam headlights and activate the high beam headlights. With the headlights in the low beam position, the high beams may be momentarily turned on or flashed by activating the FTP portion of the switch.

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the high beam indicator when the BCM detects that the high beams are requested. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.

The Headlamps On at Exit and Perimeter Lighting modes can be adjusted using the steering wheel controls to select the desired function as displayed in the driver information center. The Headlamps On at Exit selection will allow the driver to customize the period of time that the headlamps remain illuminated upon exiting the vehicle. This period can be adjusted from 0 seconds to 180 seconds. The Perimeter Lighting feature allows the driver to select if they desire the headlamps and backup lamps to illuminate when the door UNLOCK button on the key fob is activated. This feature can be turned ON or OFF by using the driver information center steering wheel control buttons.

Low Beams - Standard

The standard low beam headlamps receive voltage from the headlamp driver module located in the underhood fuse block. The body control module (BCM) controls the headlamp driver module with the headlamp low beam relay control circuit. Low beam control is determined by a signal on the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit from the multifunction switch. When the headlamps are requested ON and the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit is open, the BCM sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) ground signal though the headlamp low beam relay control circuit to the headlamp driver module which illuminates the low beam headlamps at a 100 percent intensity level. The right and left low beam circuits are independent and are fused separately in the underhood fuse block. The LOW HDLP-RT 10A fuse supplies voltage to the right low beam headlamp and the LOW HDLP-LT 10A fuse supplies voltage to the left low beam headlamp. The right and left headlamps are grounded at G103 and G107 respectively.

Low Beams - TT6 High Intensity Discharge (HID)

Normal operation of the high intensity discharge (HID) system starts at the ballast. The headlamp ballast input connector receives battery positive voltage from the LH HDLP 20A fuse and RH HDLP 20A fuse in the underhood fuse block. Ground is supplied to the ballasts at G103 for the right ballast and G107 for the left ballast. When the low beam headlamps are requested, the low beam relay supplies voltage to the ballast on the right headlamp low beam supply voltage circuit and the left headlamp low beam supply voltage circuit, which begins the low beam startup operation. Each ballast has a separate ground. As soon as the input power is applied, the ballasts draw 20 amps from the battery for 5-10 seconds, depending on the input voltage level. The ballast is then able to charge the 2 outputs leading to the starter to -360 volts and +800 volts. -360 volts and +800 volts are the voltages needed by the starter to strike, or start, the HID headlamp arc tube. 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.

Electrical System Requirements for HID Headlamps

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 startup 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 is 3.4 amps at 12.8 volts.

Run Up Of The HID Lamp

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 percent of steady state is complete. 100 percent 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 the required period of time.

When To Change The HID Bulb

Bulb failure 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

1. A flickering light, caused in the early stages of bulb failure
2. The lights go out, caused when the ballast detects excessive, repetitive bulb re-strike
3. 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 of HID Headlamps

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 high intensity discharge (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.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) - Standard Headlamps

The ambient light sensor is a light sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) in response to changes to the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM receives this signal, it will either turn ON the daytime running lamps (DRL) or the headlamps for auto headlamp operation. Any function or condition that turns ON the headlights will cancel the DRL operation. With the headlight switch in the AUTO position, the headlights will either be turned ON or OFF, after an approximate 8 second delay, depending on whether a daylight or low light condition is sensed. When the ambient light sensor signals the BCM for DRL operation in daylight conditions, the BCM sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) ground signal to the headlamp driver module which will illuminate the low beam headlamps at a 70 percent intensity level. The DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the headlamp and switch is in the AUTO position, the gear selector is not in the PARK position, and the parking brake is released. When these conditions have been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate.

DRL operation can also be temporarily disabled by applying the park brake. This will cancel DRL operation until the park brake is released.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) - TT6 High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps

The ambient light sensor is a light sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) in response to changes to the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM receives this signal, it will either turn ON both front turn signal lamps at a steady rate for daytime running lamps (DRL) operation or the headlamps for auto headlamp operation. Any function or condition that turns ON the headlights will cancel the DRL operation. With the headlight switch in the AUTO position, the headlights will either be turned ON or OFF, after an approximate 8 second delay depending on whether a daylight or low light condition is sensed. When the ambient light sensor signals the BCM for DRL operation in daylight conditions, the BCM sends a signal to the turn/hazard flasher module that will then illuminate the front turn signal lamp bulbs at a constant rate. The DRL will operate when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, the gear selector is not in the PARK position, and the parking brake is released. When these conditions have been met and the ambient light sensor indicates daytime conditions, the DRL will illuminate.

DRL operation can also be temporarily disabled by applying the park brake. This will cancel DRL operation until the park brake is released.

Fog Lamps

With both the ignition switch in the RUN position and the park lamps or low beam head lamps on, the fog lights will illuminate when the driver presses the fog lamp switch. The FOG LAMP fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block supplies battery positive voltage to the fog lamp relay. With the headlamp switch in either the park or headlamp position and the fog lamp switch is pressed, the body control module (BCM) will energize the fog lamp relay control circuit. The current flow is from the fog lamp relay to both front fog lamps and to ground G107 and G103. The state of the fog lamps either ON or OFF will remain the same until the fog lamp switch is pressed again, or the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. Fog lamp operation will be cancelled whenever the park lamps are turned OFF or the high beam headlights have been selected.

Park, Tail, Marker, and License Lamps

The park, tail, marker, and license lamps are turned on when the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK or ON position or anytime the headlights are requested. The I/P BATT fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park lamp relay switch contacts and the park lamp coil circuit. The body control module (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. Current flow is from the park lamp relay to the individual park lamp circuit fuses and to their respective park, tail, marker, and license lamps. The front park and marker lamps are grounded at G107 and G103. The tail lamps are grounded at G401 and G402. The license lamps are grounded at G401. If the driver places the headlight switch in the ON position after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the park, tail, marker, and license will remain illuminated until turned off or the battery runs dead.

The T PARK fuse in the rear fuse-relay block supplies battery positive voltage to a separate park lamp circuit connected to the trailer wiring harness.

Turn Signal Lamps

The smart flasher (GMSF), better known as the turn signal/hazard flasher module, is an automotive flasher designed to accept turn, hazard, brake, and daytime running lights (DRL) inputs. The GMSF will provide corresponding outputs to the exterior lamps and instrument panel turn signal indicator lamps. This lighting system has dedicated lamps for the turn/hazard functions and dedicated lamps for the brake function. The system incorporates the use of flash rates for diagnostics. The flash rate is a calculation of the number of flashes that occur within a 60-second period. This system uses a percentage of on-time to off-time called duty cycle. For the bulb outage condition, the indicator of the vehicle side on which the outage occurs shall assume bulb outage flash rate mode. The opposite side indicator will assume the normal flash rate mode for an input from the non-bulb outage side of the vehicle. Hazard warning lamp outage will maintain a normal flash rate as long as 2 or more exterior signaling lamps are functional. During all modes of operation, the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will receive the same flash rates and duty cycles that the exterior lamps receive. The IPC will then control the indicators in the cluster. The vehicle operator will be provided with an audible and visual indication of the flasher operation. Below is a table with flash rates and duty cycles

Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation

The IGN E fuse in the underhood fuse block supplies ignition positive voltage to the turn signal switch assembly. With the ignition switch in the RUN or START position, ignition positive voltage is connected through the turn signal and hazard switch assembly to the GMSF which is powered by the FLASHER fuse also in the underhood fuse block and is grounded at G201. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, the circuit is complete from the GMSF to the turn signal lamps and to ground. The GMSF then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their IPC indicator. When the hazard switch is pressed, all turn signal lamps will flash including both IPC turn indicators. The front turn signals are grounded at G103 and G107. The rear turn signals are grounded at G401 and G402.

The IPC illuminates the TURN SIGNAL ON indicator in the driver information center when the IPC determines that the turn signal is active for more than 1.2 km (0.75 mile). The IPC also sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate the audible warning.

On vehicles equipped with the outside rear view mirror turn signal lamps, the turn signal voltage is also sent to the respective front door module. The door modules then distribute power and ground to the activated lamp.

For trailer wiring, separate turn signal circuits are connected through the GMSF to the trailer wiring harness.

Stop Lamps

The STOP fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the switch contacts close and battery positive voltage is supplied to both the VEHICLE STOP fuse and the VEHICLE CHMSL fuse. The current flow is now to the stop lamps which are grounded at G401 and G402. The center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) is grounded at G401.

For trailer wiring, a separate stop lamp circuit is connected through the smart flasher (GMSF) to the trailer wiring harness.

Backup Lamps

On a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission, the backup lamps request signal is sent from the powertrain control module (PCM) to the body control module (BCM) via class 2. This signal is based on the state of the park neutral position (PNP) switch. On a manual transmission equipped vehicle, the B/U fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open backup lamp switch. When the driver places the gear selector lever is in the REVERSE position, the backup lamp switch closes and the current flow is from the backup lamp switch to the BCM signaling for backup lamp illumination.

The BCM directly supplies voltage for backup lamp operation. The backup lamps are grounded at G401 and G402.

For trailer wiring, a separate backup lamp circuit is connected through the TRLR B/U fuse to the trailer wiring harness.

Interior Lamps

The interior lighting consist of the following 2 groups. This first group includes lamps that may not be dimmed.

1. The cargo lamp
2. The dome lamps
3. The reading lamps
4. The vanity mirror lamps

Courtesy Lamps

The courtesy lamps include the reading lamps, cargo lamp, and dome lamps. The cargo lamp and dome lamps may be manually turned ON or OFF by placing the interior lamp switch in the ON or OFF position. When the driver places the dome lamp defeat switch in the OFF position, these courtesy lamps will be disabled. If a door is opened, the courtesy lamps illuminate. After all the doors have been closed, the courtesy lamps will remain illuminated approximately 15 seconds after the last door closes. The courtesy lamps will also turn ON prior to any door being opened and will remain illuminated approximately 40 seconds when the driver removes the ignition key. The body control module (BCM) will immediately turn OFF the courtesy lamps if a door lock command is received with all of the doors closed, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the ON or RUN position.

Keyless Entry Interior Illumination

When the driver uses the door key in order to unlock the doors, the body control module (BCM) receives a door unlock signal. The BCM must have inputs that indicate that the ignition switch is OFF, the courtesy lamp switch is OFF, and all the doors are closed. The BCM will then illuminate the interior lamps. The courtesy lamps will remain illuminated for approximately 15 seconds after the door is closed. If the door locks are activated to the LOCK position, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position, the courtesy lamps will turn OFF immediately.

When the driver uses the remote function actuator transmitter to unlock the doors or presses the panic button, the BCM will keep the courtesy lamps ON for approximately 15 seconds. If the door locks are activated to the UNLOCK or LOCK position or if the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position, the courtesy lamps will turn OFF immediately. The BCM will also keep the courtesy lamps ON for approximately 40 seconds after an alarm event is completed.

Vanity Mirror Lamps

The inadvertent power courtesy lamps 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.

Battery Rundown Protection/Inadvertent Power

The body control module (BCM) inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit provides battery positive voltage to all of the interior reading lamps and both visor vanity mirror lamps. In the event that any of these lamps were to remain illuminated for a period of more than 20 minutes with the ignition switch in the OFF position, the BCM will deactivate the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit to prevent a total battery discharge condition. Only when the ignition switch is cycled back to the RUN position will the BCM reset the internal timer and reactivate the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit.

The BCM also utilizes the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit as a courtesy lamp request signal circuit when none of the lamps in the circuit are illuminated. When a lamp switch is activated, the BCM receives the request for lamp illumination and switches to supplying voltage to the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit.

Interior Lamps Dimming

The second group includes lamps which may be dimmed. This group may use a combination of vacuum fluorescent (VF) illumination and of incandescent lamps.

1. Door switches and window switches
2. HVAC control head assembly
3. Radio and steering wheel controls
4. The rear HVAC/radio controls
5. The instrument panel cluster (IPC)

When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the radio's VF displays turn 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 (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. The incandescent back lighting lamps are then grounded at G201, G302, and G303. When the I/P 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 I/P dimmer switch.
