seconds later when battery voltage is normal), or by
turning the ignition switch to the run position,
whichever occurs first. When testing the system, all
vehicle doors must be closed to prevent the door jam
switches from activating the courtesy/dome lamps.

Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Illumi-

nated Entry Module (located behind and above the
glove box (Fig. 2) are used to control the system.

Depending on vehicle options, as many as six dif-

ferent electrical components/relays are located above
the glove box. The Illuminated Entry Module will be
the one mounted the closest to the outside of the in-
strument panel. The Module bracket is also used to
commonly mount the Power Door Lock Inhibitor Re-
lay, if equipped.

Service procedures for door related components can

be found in Group 23, Body.

AC, AG, AJ OR AY BODY

The Illuminated Entry System (AC, AG, AJ or AY

Body) actuates the interior courtesy and/or dome

lamps (except illuminated ignition switch) by lifting
either front door exterior handle. Activation can also
be accomplished with the remote keyless entry sys-
tems hand held module, if equipped.

Lamp illumination is terminated 30 seconds (

6 2

seconds) later, or by turning the ignition switch to
the run position, whichever occurs first. When test-
ing this system, all vehicle doors must be closed to
prevent the operation of the courtesy/dome lamps.

Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Body

Controller (Fig. 3 ) are used to control the system.

Service procedures for door related components can

be found in Group 23, Body.
