Illuminated Entry

When the Body Control Module (BCM) is in an active state (awake) it energizes the delayed interior lamps relay. When energized the delayed interior lamps relay supplies voltage to all of the interior lamps, including the illuminated entry lamps. The illuminated entry lamps are turned on when they receive a ground from the interior lamps relay. When the ignition is in the LOCK position the BCM will energizes the interior lamps relay under the following conditions:
^ Manually unlocking the driver side door lock.
^ A change in door jamb input status (open or close a door).
^ The use of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) to unlock the side doors.

When the delayed interior lamp relay and the interior lamp relay are energized the following interior lamps will illuminate:
^ The dome lamp.
^ The front side door courtesy lamps.
^ The roof rail courtesy lamps (depending on their individual switch positions).

The above lamps also turned ON by the interior lamp switch, whenever the headlamp switch pulled out and the BCM is awake.
