If an interior lamp is left ON and does not turn OFF even when the doors are closed, the BCM turns off power
to the interior lamps automatically to save the battery 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
The BCM controls power or ground to all interior lamps.
Vanity lamps (if equipped) are controlled by the battery saver control function of the BCM.
After the battery saver system turns the lamps OFF, the lamps will illuminate again when:
• A signal is received from an Intelligent Key or main power window and door lock/unlock switch, power win-
dow and door lock/unlock switch RH or when the front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) is locked
or unlocked.
• A door is opened or closed.

ILLUMINATION CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000009175431
The illumination lamps operation is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting and turn
signal switch). When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is placed in the AUTO (if
equipped) or parking lamp position the BCM (body control module) receives input requesting the parking
lamps to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine
room) via the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the tail
lamp relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power to the parking and illumination lamps, which then illu-
minate. The illumination brightness can be controlled by the illumination control switch.
BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in the AUTO (if equipped) or parking lamp
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 45 seconds unless the combination switch
(lighting and turn signal switch) position is changed. If the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch)
position is changed, then the illumination lamps are turned off after a 30 second delay. When the combination
switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is turned from OFF to AUTO (if equipped) or parking lamp position after
illumination lamps have been turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
