Interior Lamps
The interior lighting consist of the following two groups. This first
group includes lamps that may not be dimmed.
• | Courtesy/Illuminated entry lamps |
Courtesy/Illuminated Entry Lamps
The courtesy/illuminated 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, the courtesy/illuminated
entry lamps will be disabled. If an outside door handle is lifted or a
door is opened, the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps illuminate. After
all the doors have been closed the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps will
remain illuminated approximately 15 seconds. The courtesy/illuminated
entry lamps will also turn on prior to any door being opened, and remain
illuminated approximately 40 seconds when the driver removes the
ignition key.
The courtesy/illuminated entry lamps, include two different groups of
lamps. The first group includes these courtesy/illuminated entry lamps which
are not individually controlled:
These lamps illuminate when a door jamb switch, courtesy lamp switch
or a remote keyless entry (RKE) command is received by the body control module
(BCM).
The CTSY LP 15A fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block, supplies
battery positive voltage to the inadvertent power relay coil and switch
circuits. The BCM provides a ground to control the inadvertent power relay.
The normally open Inadvertent power relay switch closes and provides power
to these courtesy lamps. When a courtesy lamp request input is received by
the BCM, the BCM will energize the courtesy lamp relay. The normally open
courtesy lamp relay switch closes, illuminating the lamps by grounding the
courtesy lamp ground circuit to G203.
The BCM will immediately turn off the courtesy lamps if a door lock
command is received with all the doors closed, or if the ignition switch
is turned to either the ON or RUN position.
The second group includes these individually controlled lamps, each
with a separate switch:
The CTSY LP 15A fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block, supplies
battery positive voltage to the inadvertent power relay coil and switch
circuits. The BCM provides ground to energize the inadvertent power relay,
which provides voltage to these lamps. Ground is provided to the I/P compartment
lamp at G200. Ground is provided to the underhood lamp at G102. Ground is
provided to all others at G203.
Courtesy/Illuminated Entry Lamps (Luxury-Y91)
The courtesy/illuminated entry 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 ON position, the courtesy/illuminated
entry lamps will be disabled. If an outside door handle is lifted or a
door is opened, the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps illuminate. After
all the doors have been closed the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps will
remain illuminated approximately 15 seconds. The courtesy/illuminated
entry lamps will also turn on prior to any door being opened, and remain
illuminated approximately 40 seconds when the driver removes the
ignition key.
The courtesy/illuminated entry lamps, include two different groups of
lamps. The first group includes these courtesy/illuminated entry lamps which
are not individually controlled:
These lamps illuminate when a door jamb switch, courtesy lamp switch
or a remote keyless entry (RKE) command is received by the body control module
(BCM).
The CTSY LP 15A fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block, supplies
battery positive voltage to the inadvertent power relay coil and switch
circuits. When a courtesy lamp request input is received by the body control
module (BCM), the BCM provides ground to the inadvertent power relay to
signal the courtesy lamp module. The courtesy lamp module provides pulse
width modulation (PWM) voltage to the courtesy lamps. Ground is provided
at all times at G203.
The courtesy lamps will normally turn off using the theater dimming
feature controlled by BCM with PWM. The BCM will immediately turn off the
courtesy lamps if a door lock command is received with all the doors closed,
or if the ignition switch is turned to either the ON or RUN position.
The second group includes these individually controlled lamps, each
with a separate switch:
The CTSY LP 15A fuse in the engine wiring harness junction block, supplies
battery positive voltage to the inadvertent power relay coil and switch
circuits. The body control module (BCM) provides ground to energize the inadvertent
power relay and power these lamps. Ground is provided to the I/P compartment
lamp at G200. Ground is provided to the Underhood lamp at G102. All others
are grounded at G203.
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 activate
the interior lamps. The courtesy lamps will remain on, approximately
15 seconds after the door is closed. The BCM will then turn them
off through the theater dimming feature. 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, trunk or presses the panic button, the BCM will keep the courtesy
lamps on approximately 40 seconds. When the driver uses the remote
function actuator transmitter to lock the doors, the BCM will keep the
courtesy lamps on approximately 2 seconds. 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 approximately
40 seconds, after an alarm event is completed.
Vanity Lamps
The inadvertent power relay provides battery positive voltage to each
vanity mirror lamp. 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 lamps are grounded at G203.
IP Compartment Lamp
The inadvertent power relay provides battery positive voltage to the
instrument panel compartment lamp. When the IP compartment is opened, its
switch closes to provide a ground circuit and the IP compartment lamp
illuminates. The IP compartment lamp is grounded at G102.
Cargo Lamp
The inadvertent power relay provides battery positive voltage to the
cargo lamp. When the rear compartment is opened, its switch closes to provide
a ground circuit and the cargo lamp illuminates.
Battery Rundown Protection/Inadvertent Power
In the event that any of the interior lamps supplied voltage by the
inadvertent power relay and ground from the courtesy lamp relay were to
remain on when the ignition is OFF after a period of 20 minutes,
the BCM will deactivate the inadvertent power relay turning OFF all
of the lamps on that circuit to prevent total battery discharge.
Only when the ignition switch is cycled back to the RUN position will
the BCM reset the internal timer and reactivate the inadvertent power
relay. When the inadvertent power relay is not energized, the BCM utilizes
the inadvertent power courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit to monitor for
a courtesy lamp switch request signal. If a courtesy lamp switch is activated,
the BCM will receive the signal to energize the inadvertent power relay
by grounding the control 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.
• | Door switches and window switches |
• | HVAC control head assembly |
• | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) |
• | Other interior controls and switches |
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the radio's
vacuum fluorescent (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 IP dimmer switch. At the same time all vacuum
fluorescent (VF) displays dim to match the indicated dimming level. Battery
positive voltage is supplied through the PARK LPS 30 A fuse in the engine
wiring harness junction block, to the normally open park lamp relay switch
contacts. The panel dimmer switch potentiometer receives both its voltage
and ground from the headlamp switch and is an input to the BCM. When
the driver selects a dimming setting by moving, the IP dimming switch
potentiometer, all incandescent back lighting lamps are provided with
a specific voltage. The incandescent back lighting lamps are then grounded
at G203 and G200. 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 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.
