Illumination CONTROL SYSTEM

Component Description

Illumination OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives input requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the
CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil which, when energized, directs power

BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the lighting switch (combination switch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated. Under this condition, the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 30 minutes unless the lighting switch position is changed. If the lighting switch position is changed, then the illumination lamps are turned off after a 30 second delay. When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after illumination lamps have been turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
