sage transmitted by the BCM to the FCM to turn off
the headlamps.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
Automatic headlamps are controlled by the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM). With the headlamp switch in the
AUTO position, the BCM will control the headlamp, park-
ing, side marker, tail and instrumentation lamps based on
ambient light levels. Ambient light levels are monitored
by the BCM using the Day/Night signal and Electrochro-
matic Mirror (ECM) present from the Compass Mini Trip
(CMTC) located on the front windshield in front of the
rear view mirror ECM. Ambient light readings are aver-
aged to limit cycling the lamps ON and OFF when pass-
ing through areas with varying light levels. The
automatic headlamps will only function when the engine
is running with RPM > 450. When the headlamp switch is
in the AUTO position (Automatic mode), the Headlamp
Time Delay system will function when the ignition switch
is placed in any position other than run/start.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Power is reduced using pulse-width modulation to
the high beams, where by the power is switched on
and off rapidly instead of remaining on continuously.
The duration and interval of the power pulses is pro-
grammed into the FCM.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The headlamp system will default to headlamps
ON position when ignition switch is ON and when an
open or short circuit failure occurs on the headlamp
switch input. The system will return to normal oper-
ation when the open or short is repaired. A fault will
be reported by the BCM when a failure occurs on the
dimmer or headlamp switch input.
If the exterior lamps are ON and the headlamp
switch is in any position other than OFF or AUTO
and with the ignition switch OFF (LOCK) after 3
minutes the BCM sends a message via PCI bus to
the FCM informing the FCM to turn off the head-
lamps, park lamps and fog lamps. This feature pre-
vents the vehicle battery from being discharged when
the vehicle lights have been left ON.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is activated by
turning the headlamps ON (high or low beam) while
the engine is running, turning the ignition switch
OFF, and then turning the headlamp switch OFF
within 45 seconds. The system will not activate if
more than 45 seconds elapse between ignition switch
OFF and headlamp switch OFF. The BCM will allow
the headlamps to remain ON for 90 seconds (config-urable) before they automatically turn off (If the key
is in the ignition during the headlamp time delay
mode, then both the headlamps and park lamps
(including panel dimming) will be ON). Refer to the
Owner's Manual for more information.
If the headlamp switch is in the Auto Headlamp
Position, the headlamps are ON due to the night sig-
nal from the CMTC and the ignition switch is in any
position other than run/start, the BCM shall enter a
90 second (configurable) Auto Headlamps time delay
mode. If the key is in the ignition during the head-
lamp time delay mode, then both the headlamps and
park lamps (including panel dimming) will be ON. If
the key is not in the ignition, then only the head-
lamps will be ON. The BCM will allow the head-
lamps to remain ON for 90 seconds before they
automatically turn OFF. Refer to the Owner's Man-
ual for more information.
OPTICAL HORN/HIGH BEAMS
When the multi-function switch is pulled to the
first detent (optical horn) signal, the headlamps are
ON, key-in the ignition the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers to illuminate all four filaments (Low
and High beams). When the multi-function switch is
pulled to the second detent (high beam) signal and
the headlamps are ON, the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers. The High Beams are illuminated and
the Low Beams and Fog Lamps (if ON) are extin-
guished. If the headlamps were in the high beam
configuration when power was removed from the
headlamps, the headlamps will be configured as low
beam the next time they are activated.

DESCRIPTION
POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
The front doors, sliding door(s) and liftgate are
equipped with actuator motors to lock or unlock the
latch mechanisms. The door lock actuator motor is
not serviced separately from the door latch, except
for the sliding door(s).
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK
The vehicle comes with two options for power door
locks:
²Rolling automatic lock (ENABLE), doors auto-
matically lock at approximately at 25.7 Km/h (16
mph).
²No rolling automatic lock (DISABLE), doors do
not automatically lock when the vehicle is moving.
AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK
The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles
equipped with power door locks if:
²Auto door locks feature is enabled and automatic
unlock is enabled.²The transmission was in gear and speed is above
zero.
²The transmission in park or neutral and speed
is zero.
²Any door (excluding liftgate) opens.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actua-
tion, when the key is in the Ignition Switch and
either front door is open.
Pressing the key fob RKE lock/unlock under these
conditions results in normal lock/unlock activation.
CENTRAL LOCKING
If equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS), all the doors can be locked with the key by
using any of the door lock cylinders. Turning the key
to the lock position will lock all the doors.
DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The door lock system is protected by a 40 amp fuse
located in the IPM. The BCM receives lock/unlock
input and will turn on the appropriate drivers and
provide a voltage level to the door lock motor for a
specific time. The IPM is located along the side of the
vehicle battery in the engine compartment.

DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The BCM controls the door lock output drivers. If
the door lock switch is actuated continuously for
more than one second the BCM will turn the output
driver OFF (the BCM would consider the switch
stuck). The lock motors are protected with Positive
Temperature Coefficient (PTC) device that prevents
motor burn out.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
²LOCK: Pressing the LOCK button locks all
doors and sounds horn (chirp) and arm the Vehicle
Theft Security System, if equipped. The chirp verifies
that the RKE receiver has sent a message to the
BCM for door lock operation. If a door has not been
closed before pressing the LOCK button, the vehicle
may not be secured and the VTSS will not arm until
the door is closed.
²UNLOCK: Pressing the UNLOCK button once
will unlock the driver's side doors and activate the
illuminated entry system and disarm Vehicle Theft
Security System, if equipped. Pressing the UNLOCK
button twice within five seconds will unlock all doors
and activate the illuminated entry system.

equipped with power liftgate, pressing the liftgate but-
ton will allow a one time 30 second access to liftgate.
²PANIC: Pressing the PANIC button sounds the
horns at half second intervals, flashes the exterior
lamps, and turns ON the interior lamps. The panic
alarm will remain on for three minutes, or until the
PANIC button is actuated again or the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position.
The Remote Keyless Entry Module is capable of
retaining the transmitter Vehicle Access Code(s)
(VAC) in its memory even after vehicle power has
been interrupted.
NOTE: Additional features available to the customer
are described in the Vehicle Owners Manual.
The RKE system activates the optional memory
seat, mirror system and adjustable pedals, if
equipped. Two primary key fob transmitters can be
programmed to actuate memory seat and mirror set-
ting 1 or 2. Two additional key fob transmitters can be
added, but they will not be able to operate the mem-
ory seat and mirror system (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER SEATS - OPERATION) and (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS - OPERATION).
DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The Door Cylinder Lock Switch is used to:
²Unlock/Lock all the doors via the Central Lock-
ing feature.
²Arm/Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System.
²Trigger the Illuminated Entry feature.
The door cylinder lock switch is mounted to the
rear of the driver and passenger door lock cylinders.
When installed on the rear of the cylinder, there is a
tab on the lock cylinder that aligns with the switch
to prevent it from turning. An anti-rotating device.
The door cylinder lock switch is a one time use
switch. Once it is removed from the rear of the door
lock cylinder, it may not be reinstalled and a new
switch must be used.
OPERATION
When the Door Cylinder Lock Switch is turned
either way using the door key cylinder, the BCM
reads a direct message signal from the switch, via
the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
bus.
If turning the key cylinder once, toward the front
of the vehicle (for either driver or passenger doors),
this will:
(1) Mechanically unlock the door lock.
(2) Disarm the Vehicle Theft Security System (if
equipped).
(3) Turn on the Illuminated Entry (if equipped) for
approximately 30 seconds.
If the key cylinder is turned to the unlock position
(toward the front of vehicle) twice within two sec-
onds, all the doors and liftgate will unlock (if
equipped with the central locking feature).
To lock the vehicle using the door cylinder lock
switch, turn the key cylinder toward the rear of the
vehicle (either passenger or driver doors) once. This
will lock the door that you are using the key on. If
equipped with the central locking feature, this will
lock all the other doors and liftgate. Furthermore,
this will arm the vehicle theft security system and
turn off the illuminated entry.
