General Information

SYSTEM OPERATION
Exterior Lamps
To turn lamps ON:
- Parking lamps, using left stalk turn headlamp switch to the first detent
- Headlamps, turn switch to second detent
- Headlamp beam select, from low beam to high beam or high to low, pull left stalk towards steering wheel. The ignition switch must be in the RUN position for the instrument panel high beam indicator to light.
- Headlamp optical horn, pull left stalk towards steering wheel, headlamps will stay ON as long as stalk is held.
- Fog lamps, pull switch outward with headlamps on low beam
- Panel dimmer, rotating dimmer switch regulates density of the instrument panel illumination. There are nine detentes (steps) of density. Detent 1 is full brightness and each detent thereafter is lower. Testing the dimmer switch using the continuity test, the resistance value is measured for each detent. Detents 3 through 8 are measured in equal graduations, up or down and referred to as linear. Example: if detent 3 was 5 ohms and detent 4 was 7 ohms detent 5 should be 9 ohms.

Daytime Running Lamp Module:

Daytime Running Lamp (CANADA)
JA vehicles built for use ill Canada are equipped with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. The DRL system operates the headlamps at 50% illumination 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. The DRL module overrides the headlamp switch when the headlamps are turned OFF. The headlamps operate normally when the headlamps are turned ON.

Headlamp Time Delay System
The optional Headlamp Time Delay system is controlled 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.

Illuminated Entry
The Illuminated Entry System is available on vehicles equipped with the Remote Keyless Entry system. The Illuminated Entry System turns ON the courtesy lamps when the remote keyless entry system is activated. The Remote Keyless Entry Module and the Body Controller are used to control the system. Courtesy lamps will turn on for 30 Seconds (+/- 1 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 (+/- 1 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 (+/- 1 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.
