DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP (CANADA)
DESCRIPTION
JX vehicles built for use in Canada are equipped
with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. The
DRL system operates the headlamps at 50% illumi-
nation with the headlamp switch OFF, park brake
released and the ignition ON. The DRL system is
controlled by the Daytime Running Lamp Module
located on the back of the multi-function module
behind the instrument panel (Fig. 1). The DRL mod-
ule overrides the headlamp switch when the head-
lamps are turned OFF. The headlamps operate
normally when the headlamps are turned ON. Refer
to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams, for component loca-
tions and circuit information.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The optional Headlamp Time Delay system is con-
trolled by the Body Controller (BC) and a relay
located in the junction block. The headlamp time
delay system can be activated by turning ON the
headlamps when the engine is running, turn OFF
the ignition switch, then turn OFF the headlamp
switch. The BC will allow the headlamps to remain
ON for 90 seconds before they automatically turn off.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information.
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. The Remote Keyless Entry Module and the
Body Controller are used to control the system. Cour-
tesy lamps will turn on for 30 seconds (
61 second)
and fade to OFF over a five second period.
The Illuminated Entry System also turns ON the
courtesy lamps (and ignition switch lamp) when door
is opened. The courtesy lamps will remain ON while
the door is open, then fade to OFF 30 seconds (
61
second) after the last door is closed.
The courtesy and ignition switch lamps will fade to
OFF immediately when the ignition is switched to
ON.
The Illuminated Entry System cannot be activated
during the 30 second (
61 second) period after the
ignition switch is turned OFF. After a door is opened
and closed during this 30 second period, the system
will function as previously described.
When the battery voltage has been interrupted to
the Illuminated Entry System, the system will not
function until the remote keyless entry UNLOCK is
actuated.
