Body Control Module
The body control module (BCM) controls the interior lights based
on inputs it receives from the following switches:
• | The right and left side door lock switches |
• | The rear compartment lid ajar indication switch |
Dome Lamp, Courtesy Lamps and Reading Lamps
Voltage is applied through circuit 149 from the BCM to the following
lamps on coupes:
• | The inside rearview mirror courtesy/reading lamps |
Voltage is applied through circuit 149 from the BCM to the following
lamps on convertibles:
• | The right and left rear courtesy lamps |
• | The rear compartment lamp |
• | The inside rearview mirror courtesy/reading lamps |
The BCM provides a ground through circuit 156 and the lamps illuminate
when the following actions occur:
• | The driver door is opened |
• | The rear compartment is opened |
• | The IP dimmer switch is moved to the on position |
• | The vehicle is unlocked using the keyless entry function |
The inside rearview mirror contains switches which provide ground through
circuit 750 to allow manual operation of the reading lamps.
IP Compartment Lamp
Ground is applied from G200 through circuit 650 to the IP compartment
lamp. When the IP compartment door is opened, voltage is applied by the BCM
through circuit 149 to the IP compartment lamp.
Delayed Illumination
The BCM keeps the interior lights on for approximately 25 second
after the doors and rear compartment are closed. The BCM gradually decreases
the voltage on circuit 149 until the lamps are off. The lamps immediately
go out under either of the following conditions:
• | The ignition switch is turned to the run or start position. |
• | The vehicle doors are locked. |
Exit Lighting
The BCM illuminates the courtesy lamps for approximately thirty seconds
after the ignition key is removed from the ignition switch. The lamps immediately
go out under either of the following conditions:
• | The ignition key is reinserted into the ignition switch. |
• | The vehicle doors are locked. |
Illuminated Entry
When the remote control door lock transmitter is used to access the
vehicle, the BCM applies voltage through circuit 149 to the interior
lights. The lights remain illuminated for approximately 40 seconds
or until the ignition is turned to the start position.
Inadvertent Power Control
The BCM turns off lamps that are left on to conserve battery power.
The BCM removes voltage from circuit 149 and all lamps are turned
off 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the off position.
After the 10 minute period, the BCM turns the lamps back on under
any of the following conditions:
• | The rear compartment is opened. |
• | The IP compartment is opened. |
• | Either of the courtesy/reading lamp switches are turned on. |
• | The remote control door lock transmitter is used to perform any
function. |
