ILLUMINATED ENTRY
DESCRIPTION
The Illuminated Entry System is available on vehi-
cles equipped with the Remote Keyless Entry system.
The Illuminated Entry System turns ON the courtesy
lamps when the remote keyless entry system is acti-
vated.
OPERATION
The Remote Keyless Entry Module and the Body
Control Module (BCM) are used to control the sys-
tem. Courtesy lamps will turn on for 30 seconds (6 1
second) and “fade-to-OFF” over a five second period.
The Illuminated Entry System also turns ON the
courtesy lamps when a door is opened. The courtesy
lamps will remain ON while the door is open, then
“fade-to-OFF” 30 seconds (6 1 second) after the last
door is closed.
The courtesy lamps will “fade-to-OFF” immediately
when the ignition is switched to ON.
The Illuminated Entry System cannot be activated
during the 30 second (6 1 second) period after the
ignition switch is turned OFF except by using the
RKE transmitter. If a door is opened and closed dur-
ing this 30 second period, the system will function as
previously described.
The courtesy lamps will fade to OFF immediately,
if the Remote Keyless Entry lock function is actuated
with all doors closed.
FLOOR CONSOLE TRANSMISSION RANGE
INDICATOR LAMP
DESCRIPTION
The floor console mounted Transmission Range
Indicator Lamp display utilizes electroluminescent
technology as the light source. The only diagnostics
that should be performed is to check for the presence
of 12 volts on the mating wire harness connector. The
electroluminescent lamp requires a 120 volt AC sig-
nal that is provided by a power converter included in
the assembly. Because of a potential shock hazard,
diagnostics testing of the electroluminescent lamp
and power converter should be avoided. The module
is not serviceable. Refer to Body, Floor Console Shift
Bezel Removal and Installation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result. Do not use bulbs with higher
candle power than indicated in the Bulb Application
table at the end of this group. Damage to lamp can
result. Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays
having greater amperage value than indicated on
the fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
HEADLAMP AND FOG LAMP DIAGNOSIS
When a vehicle experiences problems with the
headlamp system, verify the condition of:
• Battery connections
• Charging system
• Headlamp bulbs
• Head lamp relay
• High beam dimmer switch
• Headlamp switch
• Body Control Module
• Wire connectors
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams, for compo-
nent locations and circuit information.
ELECTRONIC DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT
LH vehicles built for use in Canada are equipped
with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. The
DRL system operates the headlamp high beams at
reduced power with the headlamp high beam and low
beam switch OFF and the ignition switch in the run
position. In addition, the park brake must be disen-
gaged and the brake fluid level switch must be open
for the headlamps to operate in the DRL mode. The
DRL system is controlled by the Daytime Running
Lamp Module attached to the Junction Block on the
left side of the instrument panel. The DRL module
overrides the headlamp switch when the headlamps
are turned OFF. The headlamps operate normally
when the headlamps are turned ON.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP MODULE
The Daytime Lamp Module is controlled by inputs
received from the Parking Brake, Brake Fluid Level
Switch, High Beam Headlamp Relay and Low Beam
Headlamp relay. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams, for location and circuit information.
