Data

Dimming Potentiometer

Range: 0.0-18.0 volts

The voltage value displayed indicates the position of the dome lamp switch (thumb wheel). Zero (0) volts will be displayed when the following conditions exist:

    • The headlamp switch is in the AUTO position.
    • The daytime running lamps are OFF.

10.5 volts will be displayed when the following conditions exist:

    • The park lamps or the headlamps are turned ON.
    • The dome lamp switch is in the FULL bright position (thumb wheel turned completely up just before the detent).

0.1 volts will be displayed if the following conditions exist:

    • The park lamps or the headlamps are turned ON.
    • The dimmer switch is in the FULL DIM position (thumbwheel turned completely down).

The dimming potentiometer voltage will change as the dome lamp switch is moved between FULL BRIGHT and FULL DIM. The voltage value displayed should vary between 0.1 - 12.7 volts depending on the position of the dome lamp switch.

Battery Voltage

Range: 0-18.0 volts

The voltage value displayed refers to the battery system voltage measured by the BCM.

Ambient Light Sensor

Range: 0-5.0 volts

The displayed voltage value refers to the amount of ambient light level as measured by the light sensor. This information is used by the BCM in order to operate the automatic headlamp feature and the daytime running lamps (DRL) feature. The BCM supplies 5 volts to the ambient light photocell sensor and receives a return signal voltage from the ambient light photocell on the return signal circuit. The ambient light sensor internal resistance changes with different levels of ambient light. In LIGHT ambient conditions, the resistance is low. In DARK ambient conditions, the resistance is high.

The BCM interprets the following conditions as LIGHT:

    • The ambient light sensor is exposed to bright ambient light (low resistance).
    • High voltage (2.2-4.7 volts) is present on the return circuit.

The BCM interprets the following conditions as DARK:

    • The ambient light sensor is exposed to dark ambient light.
    • Internal resistance increases.
    • The return signal voltage decreases (0.2-1.3 volts).

If there is an open or a short to ground in the ambient light sensor circuit, the sensor will read about 0.0 volts. The BCM will default into a DARK state and turn ON the headlamps.

If the headlamps are set to the AUTO position while in the LIGHT state and the ambient light level conditions change to DARK for 15 seconds, the BCM will turn ON the headlamps.

If the headlamps are set to the AUTO position while the DARK state and the ambient light level conditions change to LIGHT for 20 seconds, the BCM will turn the headlamps OFF.

The information is used by the BCM for operation of the following features:

    • The automatic headlamp feature
    • The daytime running lamps (DRL) feature

The BCM supplies 5 volts to the ambient light photocell sensor and receives a return signal voltage from the ambient light photocell sensor on the return signal circuit.

The following actions will occur if there is an open or a short to ground in the ambient light sensor circuit:

    • The scan tool will display DARK.
    • The BCM will default into a DARK state and turn the headlamps ON.

If the headlamps are set to the AUTO position while in the LIGHT state and the ambient light level conditions change to DARK for 15 seconds, the BCM will turn the headlamps ON.

If the headlamps are set to the AUTO position while the DARK state and the ambient light level conditions change to LIGHT for 20 seconds, the BCM will turn the headlamps OFF.

Content Theft Lamp

Range: ON/ OFF/ FLASHING

The security lamp turns ON for 15 seconds and then turns OFF when you open a door by using the handle or the key fob. The security lamp also displays ON STEADY for 3 seconds and then turns OFF when the ignition switch turns from the OFF position to the RUN position. The security telltale has the following 3 states:

    • OFF
    • ON STEADY
    • FLASHING

If the IPC can not communicate with the BCM, the security telltale displays ON STEADY and the Passlock system functions. The security telltale goes to FLASHING mode momentarily and then displays ON STEADY for approximately 10 minutes if the vehicle is in the lockout cycle. The Passlock system requires 3 consecutive lockout cycles in order to complete the 30 minute learn procedure for a changed component. Refer to Theft Deterrent for the theft deterrent system.

Door Key Switch

Range: ACTIVE/ INACTIVE

The door key switch is part of the driver door lock cylinder. The door key switch is an input to the BCM to turn OFF the content theft system. The function of the input is necessary when the correct key fob is not available. The BCM uses the input in order to determine the status of the door key switch.

ACTIVE displays when you turn the door key switch by using the door key.

INACTIVE displays when you do not turn the door key switch by using the door key.
