LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR
Following are paragraphs that briefly describe the operation of each of the major exterior lighting systems. The lamps and the hard wired circuits between components related to the exterior lighting system may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the exterior lighting system or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that provide some features of the exterior lighting system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the exterior lighting system or the electronic controls and communication related to exterior lighting system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
BACKUP LAMPS
The backup (or reverse) lamps have a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the unibody wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on the body sheet metal within the passenger compartment. On vehicles with a manual transmission, the backup lamp switch provides a hard wired input to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) through a reverse switch signal circuit and the TIPM provides battery voltage to the backup lamps on the backup lamp feed circuit whenever the ignition switch is not in the LOCK position and the REVERSE position is selected with the transmission shift linkage.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors a multiplex input from the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS), then sends the proper electronic transmission gear selector status messages to the TIPM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Whenever the ignition switch is not in the LOCK position and the TIPM receives an electronic message indicating the status of the transmission gear selector is REVERSE, it provides a battery voltage output through a high side driver to the backup lamps on the backup lamp feed circuit.
BRAKE LAMPS
The brake (or stop) lamps and the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) each have a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on the body sheet metal within the passenger compartment. The CHMSL receives battery voltage directly on the brake lamp switch output circuit when the brake lamp switch is closed by the brake pedal arm. The TIPM also
receives battery voltage on the brake lamp switch output circuit, which it uses as a logic input to energize the brake lamps. The TIPM provides battery voltage to the brake lamps through two high side drivers on the tail/stop lamp rear feed circuit when it receives the proper input from the closed brake lamp switch.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada illuminate the high beam filament of both headlamp bulbs at a reduced intensity when the engine is running, the parking brake is released, the headlamps are turned OFF, and the optional automatic transmission gear selector lever is in any position except PARK. The park lamps may be ON or OFF for DRL to operate. For vehicles with a manual transmission, the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) will operate in any transmission gear selector lever position. In fleet vehicles manufactured for the U. S. and Mexican markets, DRL operates in the same manner, but the low beam filament of both headlamp bulbs is used rather than the high beam filament. The TIPM must be programmed appropriately for this feature to be enabled.
Once enabled, anytime the TIPM receives electronic messages over the CAN data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the engine is running, from the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) indicating the status of the left (lighting) multi- function switch is in any position except headlamps ON and the parking brake lever is released, and from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Transmission Control Module (TCM) indicating the automatic transmission gear selector lever is in any position except PARK, the TIPM provides a pulse width modulated voltage output to the headlamp high beam bulb filaments through high side drivers on the right and left high or low beam feed circuits to produce illumination at a reduced intensity.
FRONT FOG LAMPS
The front fog lamps have a path to ground at all times through their connection to the engine compartment wire harness. The engine compartment wire harness has takeouts with eyelet terminals that are secured by nuts to ground studs on the front end sheet metal within the engine compartment. The Steering Control Module (SCM) monitors a hard wired multiplex input from the left multi-function switch to determine whether the fog lamps are selected, then sends an electronic front fog lamp switch status message to the EMIC over the Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus and the EMIC relays an electronic front fog lamp request message to the TIPM over the CAN data bus.
When the TIPM receives a front fog lamp request message it then controls front fog lamp operation by controlling a battery voltage output through high side drivers on right and left fog lamp feed circuits. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic message back to the EMIC to illuminate or extinguish the front fog lamp indicator. In certain markets where required, the TIPM will automatically de-energize the front fog lamps any time the headlamp high beams are selected.
The TIPM also provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature for the front fog lamps, which will turn these lamps OFF if they are left ON for more than about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the LOCK position or if there is a charging system failure.
Each front fog lamp shares a reflector with the headlamp and is adjusted in concert with the headlamp for the same side of the vehicle.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
The hazard warning system includes the EMIC, the TIPM and the hazard switch in the switch pod located in the center stack area of the instrument panel, below the air conditioner and heater controls. The hazard switch provides a hard wired input to the TIPM. When the TIPM receives an input from the hazard switch it controls hazard warning system operation and flash rate by controlling battery voltage outputs through high side drivers on the right and left turn signal feed circuits.
The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic messages back to the EMIC over the CAN data bus to control the illumination and flash rate of the right and left turn signal indicators, as well as to control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional hazard warning flasher.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the SCM, the EMIC, the TIPM, and the left (lighting) multi-function switch on the steering column. The headlamp bulbs have a path to ground at all times through their connection to the engine compartment wire harness. The engine compartment harness has takeouts with eyelet terminals that are secured by nuts to ground studs on the front end sheet metal within the engine compartment. The TIPM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any shorts or opens in the headlamp circuits.
The SCM monitors a hard wired multiplex input to determine the status of the left multi-function switch and whether the headlamp high or low beams are selected. The SCM then sends the appropriate electronic headlamp switch and headlamp beam select switch status messages to the EMIC over the LIN data bus. The EMIC then sends the appropriate electronic headlamp request and headlamp beam request messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds to these messages by providing a pulse width modulated voltage output to the headlamps through high side drivers on the right and left low and high beam feed circuits to illuminate the selected headlamp filaments. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic messages to the EMIC to control the illumination of the high beam indicator. When the optical horn feature is selected, the low beams will shut OFF about 200 milliseconds after the high beams are activated.
The TIPM also remembers which beams (LOW or HIGH) were selected when the headlamps were last turned OFF, and energizes those beams again the next time the headlamps are turned ON. The TIPM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn these lamps OFF if they are left ON for more than about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the LOCK position. The SCM and the EMIC each provide a fail-safe feature for the headlamps, which will cause the TIPM to turn the low beam headlamps ON automatically if there is no input available from the left multi-function switch. The TIPM also provides a fail- safe feature for the headlamps that will turn the headlamps ON automatically whenever a loss of CAN bus communication is detected with the ignition switch in the ON position.
Each headlamp includes an integral reflector adjustment screw (domestic markets) or screws (export markets) to be used for static aiming of the headlamps and front fog lamps.
HEADLAMP DELAY
The headlamp delay feature includes the left (lighting) multi-function switch, the SCM, the EMIC and the TIPM. This feature has customer programmable delay intervals of 0 seconds (disabled), 30 seconds, 60 seconds and 90 seconds. If the left multi-function switch remains in the headlamp ON position until after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, then the headlamps will remain illuminated until after the selected delay interval has elapsed. The park lamps will not stay ON during the headlamp delay interval. The default delay
interval is zero seconds (disabled), but can be reprogrammed by the customer using the customer programmable features function of the EMIC.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
In certain markets where required, a headlamp leveling system is provided on the vehicle. The headlamp leveling system includes unique front headlamp units each connected to a headlamp leveling actuator motor, and a rocker-actuated headlamp leveling switch integral to the switch pod in the instrument panel center stack. The headlamp leveling system allows the headlamp beams to be adjusted to one of four vertical positions to compensate for changes in inclination caused by the loading of the vehicle suspension. The leveling motors are mechanically connected through an integral pushrod to the adjustable headlamp mounting collar.
Each time the headlamp leveling switch is depressed the circuitry of the switch pod provides an electronic select status up or select status down message input to the EMIC over the LIN data bus. The EMIC then sends the appropriate electronic select request up or select request down messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds to these messages by providing a voltage output to the headlamp leveling motors through high side drivers on the headlamp leveling motor right and left signal circuits to move the headlamp reflectors to the selected position based upon the voltage input received from the TIPM. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic messages back to the EMIC and the EMIC relays the message back to the switch to control the illumination of the 1 , 2 , or 3 Light Emitting Diode (LED) selected position indicator in the leveling switch button. The EMIC and TIPM logic will only allow the headlamp leveling system to operate while the ignition switch is in the ON position and the exterior lighting is turned ON.
PARK LAMPS
The park lamps system includes the left (lighting) multi-function switch, the SCM, the EMIC and the TIPM. The front park/turn lamp and the position lamp bulbs each have a path to ground at all times through their connection to the engine compartment wire harness. The engine compartment wire harness has takeouts with eyelet terminals that are secured by nuts to ground studs on the front end sheet metal within the engine compartment. The rear lamp units and license plate lamp bulbs have a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on the body sheet metal within the passenger compartment.
The SCM monitors a hard wired multiplex input from the left multi-function switch, then sends the appropriate electronic headlamp switch status messages to the EMIC over the LIN data bus. Then the EMIC relays the appropriate electronic message to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds to these messages by providing a battery voltage output to the appropriate lamp bulbs through high side drivers on the proper park/tail/license/running lamp right and left circuits. The TIPM and the SCM also send the appropriate electronic messages to the EMIC to control the illumination and lighting level of the panel lamps.
The TIPM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature for the park lamps, which will turn these lamps OFF if they are left ON for more than about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the LOCK position. The SCM and the EMIC each provide a fail-safe feature for the park lamps, which will send an electronic message to the TIPM to turn these lamps ON automatically if there is no input available from the left multi-function switch. The TIPM also provides a fail-safe feature for the park lamps that will turn these lamps ON automatically whenever a loss of CAN bus communication is detected with the ignition switch in the ON position.
REAR FOG LAMPS
Rear fog lamps are installed on vehicles manufactured for all export markets. The rear fog lamp system includes the left (lighting) multi-function switch, the SCM, the EMIC and the TIPM. The rear fog lamp bulbs have a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on the body sheet metal within the passenger compartment.
The SCM monitors a hard wired multiplex input from the left multi-function switch to determine whether the rear fog lamps are selected, then sends electronic rear fog lamp switch status messages to the EMIC over the LIN data bus. Then the EMIC relays an electronic rear fog lamp request message to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds to this message by providing a battery voltage output to the rear fog lamp bulbs through high side drivers on the fog lamp relay control rear circuit. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic message back to the EMIC to control the rear fog lamp indicator.
The TIPM will automatically energize and de-energize the front fog lamps in concert with the rear fog lamps. The TIPM also provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature for the rear fog lamps, which will turn these lamps OFF if they are left ON for more than about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
TRAILER TOW WIRING
Domestic market vehicles equipped with an optional trailer tow package include a trailer tow take out of the body wire harness connected to a molded, seven-way trailer tow connector and an integral cover that are snapped into a bracket on the trailer hitch receiver platform.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
The turn signal lamps system includes the left (lighting) multi-function switch, the SCM, the EMIC and the TIPM. The front turn signal lamp bulbs each have a path to ground at all times through their connection to the engine compartment wire harness. The engine compartment wire harness has a takeout with an eyelet terminal that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on the body sheet metal within the engine compartment. The rear turn signal lamp bulbs have a path to ground at all times through a takeout and eyelet terminal of the body wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on the body sheet metal within the passenger compartment.
The SCM monitors a hard wired multiplex input from the left multi-function switch to determine the status of the turn signal switch, then sends the appropriate electronic turn signal switch status messages to the EMIC over the LIN data bus. Then the EMIC relays an electronic turn signal request message to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for either the right or left turn signal lamps through high side drivers on the appropriate right or left turn signal feed circuits. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic messages back to the EMIC to control the illumination and flash rate of the right or left turn signal indicators, as well as to control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional turn signal flasher.
The EMIC also provides a turn signal ON warning that will generate repetitive chimes to indicate that a turn signal has been active continuously for 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) with the vehicle speed greater than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per hour). Vehicles built for markets other than the United States and Canada have a revised distance threshold of 4 kilometers (2.49 miles) for this feature. The chime will continue until the turn signal input becomes inactive or until the vehicle speed message indicates that the speed is less than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour), whichever occurs first.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, Occupant Classification System (OCS), seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
NOTE: When diagnosing the exterior lighting circuits, remember that high generator output can burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly; and, that dim or flickering bulbs can be caused by low generator output or poor battery condition. If one of these symptoms is a problem on the vehicle, be certain to diagnose the battery and charging system, then repair as necessary.
NOTE: A good ground is necessary for proper lighting operation. If a lighting problem is being diagnosed that involves multiple symptoms, systems, or components, the problem can often be traced to a loose, corroded, or open ground.
The lamps and the hard wired circuits between components related to the exterior lighting system may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the exterior lighting system or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that provide some features of the exterior lighting system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the exterior lighting system or the electronic controls and communication related to exterior lighting system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.

FRONT LAMP MOISTURE CLEARING📷 1
Some occasional moisture accumulation inside a vented front lamp unit is normal and appears as a fogging on the inside of the lamp lens, similar to the fog that sometimes appears on the inside of a windshield. This condition is caused by rapidly changing temperature and humidity levels between the air internal and external to the lamp, and will usually dissipate once the temperature and humidity conditions have been allowed to stabilize. Accelerated removal of such moisture may be accomplished by activating the headlamps on HIGH beam for about 15 minutes.
However, water droplets larger than 1 millimeter (0.039 inch) in size accumulated on the inside of the lamp lens, water droplets visible on most internal lamp surfaces or large quantities of water within the lamp indicates a problem with the lamp sealing that has allowed excessive amounts of water to enter the lamp. Once such excessive moisture has entered the lamp, it will always be present and will never disappear. A lamp with permanent internal moisture should be replaced.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many exterior lighting functions and features it provides:
 Front Fog Lamps - The optional front fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the front fog lamps to be selected while the headlamp ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the front fog lamps OFF position when the control knob is rotated to deselect the headlamps.  Headlamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the headlamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi- function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.  Headlamp Beam Selection - The headlamp high beams are selected when the left multi-function switch control stalk is pushed forward to the high beam selection detent position. The low beams are selected when the control stalk is pulled rearward to the low beam selection detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch
status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.  Headlamp Optical Horn - The headlamp optical horn is selected each time the left multi-function switch control stalk is pulled fully rearward to a momentary position. The headlamp high beams will remain illuminated for as long as the control stalk is held in this momentary position and the low beams will be restored when the control stalk is released. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic beam select switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic beam select switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.  Park Lamps - The headlamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is rotated to the park lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi- function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.  Rear Fog Lamps - The optional rear fog lamps are requested when the left multi-function switch control knob is pulled outward to the front fog lamps detent position and then rotated to the rear fog lamps detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle. The switch control knob incorporates an internal cam mechanism that will only allow the rear fog lamps to be selected while the front fog lamps ON position is also selected, and will automatically move the control knob to the rear fog lamp OFF position when the control knob is pushed in to deselect the front fog lamps.  Turn Signal Control - The turn signals are requested when the left multi-function switch control stalk is moved downward (left signal) or upward (right signal). The control stalk has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, a cancel actuator extends through an opening in the side of the clockspring case toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring rotor rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended from the left multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one of the turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If the left turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic exterior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic exterior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Following are descriptions of the how the left multi-function switch is operated to control the many interior lighting functions and features it provides:
 Interior Lamps Defeat - The interior lamps defeat feature is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps DEFEAT detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.  Interior Lamps On - The interior lamps ON feature is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the interior lamps ON detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.  Panel Lamps Dimming - The panel lamps dimming function is active only when the left multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the panel lamps dimming level is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to any one of five minor detent positions. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.  Parade Mode - The PARADE (or funeral) mode is active only when the left multi-function switch control knob is in any exterior lighting ON position. With the exterior lighting ON, the PARADE mode is requested when the left multi-function switch control sleeve is rotated to the PARADE mode detent position. The SCM reads the resistor multiplexed input from the left multi-function switch and sends an electronic interior lighting switch status message over the LIN data bus to the EMIC, which relays an electronic interior lighting switch request message over the CAN data bus to other electronic modules in the vehicle.
PARK BRAKE SWITCH📷 1
The park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the floor panel transmission tunnel below the center floor console. This switch includes a spade-type output terminal (2) that connects the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness. The output terminal is integral to the stationary contact within a molded plastic insulator. A locating tab (4) on the insulator engages a slot in the park brake lever mechanism for positive switch location. External to the insulator is a movable leaf contact (3) with an integral grounding lug on one end and an integral actuating lever and follower on the opposite end. The switch is secured to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced.
figure
PARK BRAKE SWITCH📷 1
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the park brake lever mechanism
and provides a ground input to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
