The INTERIOR LIGHTS fuse supplies battery voltage to the body control module (BCM). The BCM applies battery voltage to the courtesy lamps through the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit. When any door is opened, the jam switch contacts close and the BCM receives a door-open input. If the BCM receives a door lock or unlock input or a rear hatch open input, the BCM will activate the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit, providing battery voltage to all of the instrument panel (I/P) courtesy lamps, rearview mirror lamps, and rear compartment lamps. The courtesy lamps can be manually activated by placing the interior lamp switch in the DOME position. The BCM also provides a serial data message to the driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) to apply battery voltage to the courtesy lamps located on each door.
