Interior Lamps
The interior lighting consists of the dome lamp.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamp, may be manually turned on or off by placing the interior
lamp switch in the ON, DOOR or OFF position. When the driver places the dome
lamp switch in the ON position, the dome lamps will remain on. When the
driver places the dome lamp switch in the DOOR position, and a door is
opened, the dome lamp will illuminate. When the driver places the dome
lamp switch in the OFF position, the dome lamp will be disabled.
A circuit breaker in the instrument panel (IP) supplies battery positive
voltage to the dome lamp switch. A normally open door jamb switch provides
a ground circuit when a door is opened. A diode module is used to prevent
a voltage feed back from the turn/hazard switch. If the dome lamp switch
is placed in the ON position, the dome lamp will remain on until turned
off or the battery runs dead.
Interior Lamps Dimming
The second group includes lamps which may be dimmed.
• | HVAC control head assembly |
• | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) |
• | Various transmission control switches |
A circuit breaker in the instrument panel (IP) supplies
battery positive voltage to both the tail lamp relay coil circuit and switch
circuit. When the driver places the headlamp switch in either the PARK
or HEADLAMP position, the tail lamp relay is energized. The tail lamp
relay coil circuit is grounded through the headlamp switch at G105. When
the tail lamp relay is energized battery positive voltage is supplied
to all lamps in the dimming circuit. 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 G105.
Driver Controls & Modules
Driver controls include the following components.
• | The emergency flasher switch |
• | The headlamp dimmer switch |
Two modules process the inputs and the controls.
• | The transmission control module (TCM) |
• | The vehicle interface module (VIM) |
