LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR - SERVICE INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The exterior lighting system for this model includes the following exterior lamp units:

•

Center High Mounted Stop Lamp - A Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) is centered on the rear
shelf trim panel at the base of the backlite on sedans, and on the liftgate spoiler just above the liftgate glass
opening at the rear of the vehicle on the wagon.

•

Front Fog Lamps - Vehicles equipped with this option have a fog lamp unit mounted near each outboard end
of the front bumper support, behind the lower portion of the front fascia.

•

Front Headlamp Units - A front headlamp unit is mounted to the front of each front fender panel on either
side of the grille opening.

•

License Plate Lamp - A rear license plate lamp unit is mounted to the rear fascia, just above the license plate
tub.

•

Tail Lamp Units - A tail lamp unit is mounted to the rear of each quarter panel on either side of the liftgate
opening.

These exterior lighting lamps and their controls are combined to provide the following exterior lighting features:

•

Automatic Headlamps - Vehicles with the automatic headlamps option are equipped with a unique headlamp
switch that includes an automatic position and a sun load sensor located on the top of the instrument panel to
sense ambient light levels. When the Auto position of the headlamp switch is selected, the headlamps are
turned On automatically when ambient light levels are low.

•

Daytime Running Lamps - Vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada illuminate the low beam filament of the
headlamp bulb in each front lamp unit to serve as the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). Fleet vehicles manu-
factured for sale in the United States illuminate the high beam filament of the headlamp bulb in each front
lamp unit to serve as the DRL.

Other components of the exterior lighting system for this model include:

•

Backup Lamp Switch - A Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) integral to the solenoid pack on the valve body
of the electronic automatic transmission performs the backup lamp switch function for this model.

•

Brake Lamp Switch - A plunger-type brake lamp switch is located on the steering column support bracket
under the instrument panel and is actuated by the brake pedal arm.

•

Front Control Module - The Front Control Module (FCM) is integral to the Integrated Power Module (IPM).
The FCM/IPM is located in the engine compartment, near the battery and the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DISTRIBUTION - DESCRIPTION).

•

Headlamp Switch - A headlamp switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel, below and outboard
of the steering column. The headlamp switch includes a rotary knob for the park lamps and headlamps On or
Off, and a push button switch for selecting the front fog lamps on vehicles so equipped. The headlamp switch
also features a vertical thumbwheel for selecting the panel lamps dimming level, a Parade mode to illuminate
all Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) units at full brightness for visibility when driving in daylight with the
exterior lighting turned On, and for interior lighting control.

•

Instrument Cluster - The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) is also known as the Cab Control
Node (CCN) in this vehicle. The EMIC/CCN is located in the instrument panel above the steering column
opening, directly in front of the driver. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DESCRIPTION).

•

Multi-Function Switch - The multi-function switch is located on the steering column, just below the steering
wheel. A control stalk that extends from the left side of the switch is used to select the turn signal lamps (right
or left) and to select the headlamp beam (low, high or optical horn).

OPERATION

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS

Power is reduced using pulse-width modulation (PWM) to the high beams, where by the power is switched on and
off rapidly instead of remaining on continuously. The duration and interval of the power pulses is programmed into
the IPM.
