A lamp outage is sensed by measuring the change in voltage drop across a special section of the wiring harness.

CAUTION: Do not alter lengths of these wires, unless otherwise directed. Do not hook up additional lamps (i.e. trailer tow lamps). Do not replace bulbs with any type different from original equipment. Doing so may result in a false warning or no warning.

The unique wiring harnesses associated with the lamp-out warning system use special resistance wire for proper system operation.

The lamp out warning system consists of:
1. Lamp out control module.
2. Unique wiring harness.
3. Two warning indicators.

The lamp out warning system monitors three functions:
1. Low-beam headlamps.
2. Rear parking lamps.
3. Brake lamps.
The system operates when the ignition switch is in ACC or RUN.

HEADLAMP OUT
HEADLAMP OUT: Indicates a low-beam headlamp burnout when the headlamp switch is turned to the headlamp position.

TAIL LAMP OUT
REAR LAMP OUT: Indicates a rear parking lamp burn-out when the headlamp switch is turned to either the parking lamp or headlamp position.

BRAKE LAMP OUT
REAR LAMP OUT: Indicates a brake lamp burn-out when the brake pedal is pressed.
