8Ls - 2 LAMPSKJ
²Trailer Tow Adapter- Vehicles equipped with
a factory-installed trailer towing package have an
adapter provided that adapts the factory-installed
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector to a conven-
tional 4-way light duty connector.
²Trailer Tow Connector- Vehicles equipped
with a factory-installed trailer towing package have a
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector installed in a
bracket on the trailer hitch receiver.
²Trailer Tow Relays- Vehicles equipped with a
factory-installed trailer towing package have a con-
nector bank containing four relays located behind the
right quarter trim panel and over the right rear
wheel housing. The four relays are used to supply
fused ignition switch output (run), brake lamps, right
turn signal, and left turn signal outputs to a trailer
through the trailer tow wiring and connectors.
Hard wired circuitry connects the exterior lighting
system components to the electrical system of the
vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to sev-
eral wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the
vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the exterior lighting
system components through the use of a combination
of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
Following are paragraphs that briefly describe the
operation of each of the major exterior lighting sys-
tems. The hard wired circuits and components of the
exterior lighting systems may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body
Control Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM), or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the BCM, the EMIC, the PCM, and the PCI data bus
network inputs and outputs related to the various
exterior lighting systems requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.BACKUP LAMPS
The backup (or reverse) lamps have a path to
ground at all times through their connection to the
rear lighting wire harness from a take out of the rear
body wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a ground screw to the base of the
right D-pillar behind the quarter trim panel. The
backup lamps receive battery current from a fused
ignition switch output (run) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on the back-up lamp feed circuit only
when the backup lamp switch (manual transmission),
or backup lamp switch circuit of the Transmission
Range Sensor (TRS - electronic automatic transmis-
sion) is closed by the gearshift mechanism within the
transmission.
BRAKE LAMPS
The brake (or stop) lamps have a path to ground at
all times through their connection to the rear light-
ing wire harness from a take out of the rear body
wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector that
is secured by a screw to the base of the right D-pillar
behind the quarter trim panel. The Center High
Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) has a path to ground
at all times through its connection to the rear body
wire harness from a take out of the rear body wire
harness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw to the driver side D-pillar
(left side D-pillar for left-hand drive, right side D-pil-
lar for right-hand drive) behind the quarter trim
panel. The brake lamps and CHMSL receive battery
current from a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on the brake lamp switch output circuit only
when the brake lamp switch circuit of the brake
lamp switch is closed by the brake pedal arm.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada illumi-
nate the high beam filament at a reduced intensity
when the engine is running and the exterior lamps
are turned off. This feature is enabled by the Body
Control Module (BCM) and a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay, which is installed in the
Junction Block (JB) and the high beam relay is omit-
ted. When the BCM monitors an engine speed signal
of greater than 450 RPM and the status of the exte-
rior lighting switch input from the multi-function
switch is Off, the BCM duty cycles the DRL relay to
produce illumination of the headlamp high beam fil-
aments at a reduced intensity. The BCM also pro-
vides normal headlamp high beam operation through
the DRL relay on vehicles so equipped. When the
DRL relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the headlamp
high beam filament through the DRL relay output
circuit.

COMBINATION FLASHER
DESCRIPTION
The combination flasher for this model is integral
to the hazard switch located in the center of the
instrument panel, just above the radio. The combina-
tion flasher is a smart relay that functions as both
the turn signal system and the hazard warning sys-
tem flasher. The combination flasher contains active
electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) elements. This
flasher is designed to handle the current flow
requirements of the factory-installed lighting. If sup-
plemental lighting is added to the turn signal lamp
circuits, such as when towing a trailer with lights,
the combination flasher will automatically try to
compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
The combination flasher cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, the hazard switch
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The combination flasher has the following inputs and
outputs: fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, right
turn signal sense, left turn signal sense, and one out-
put each for the right and left turn signal circuits. The
combination flasher also receives an internal input
through the closed contacts of the hazard switch and,
on vehicles equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS), the flasher receives an input
from the Body Control Module (BCM) in order to flash
the turn signal lamps as an optical alert feature of that

OPERATION
The controller board and logic circuitry of the
headlamp leveling motor will energize the motor and
extend or retract the motor pushrod through the
integral screw-drive transmission based upon the
voltage signal input received from the resistor multi-
plexed headlamp leveling switch. The ball formation
on the end of the headlamp leveling motor pushrod is
snapped into a socket formation on the back of the
movable reflector within the headlamp unit housing.
The headlamp leveling motors and switch have a
path to ground at all times. The headlamp leveling
components operate on battery current received
through the fused park lamp relay output circuit so
that the system will only operate when the exterior
lighting is turned On.
Because of active electronic elements within the
headlamp leveling motor, it cannot be tested with
conventional automotive electrical test equipment. If
the headlamp leveling motor is believed to be faulty,
replace the motor with a known good unit to confirm
system operation.
REMOVAL
The headlamp leveling motors are integral to the
headlamp units on vehicles manufactured for certain
markets where headlamp leveling is required.

ware of the multi-function switch left (lighting) con-
trol stalk provide detent switching for the park
lamps.
²Rear Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the internal circuitry and hardware of the multi-
function switch left (lighting) control stalk provide
detent switching for the optional rear fog lamps.
Rear fog lamps are optional only for vehicles manu-
factured for certain markets, where they are
required.
²Turn Signal Control- The internal circuitry
and hardware of the multi-function switch left (light-
ing) control stalk provide both momentary non-detent
switching and detent switching with automatic can-
cellation for both the left and right turn signal
lamps.
RIGHT CONTROL STALK The right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch supports the
following functions and features:
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the multi-function switch
right (wiper) control stalk provide two continuous
front wipe switch positions, low speed or high speed.
²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The internal

right (wiper) control stalk provide one fixed interval
intermittent rear wipe mode switch position.²Rear Washer Mode- The internal circuitry and
hardware of the multi-function switch right (wiper)
control stalk provide rear washer system operation.
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses a combination of
resistor multiplexed and conventionally switched out-
puts to control the many functions and features it
provides. The switch receives battery current on a
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions. The switch
receives a path to ground at all times through a
splice block located in the instrument panel wire har-
ness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a nut to a ground stud on the driver side
instrument panel end bracket near the Junction
Block (JB). Following are descriptions of how each of
the two multi-function switch control stalks operate
to control the functions and features they provide.
LEFT CONTROL STALK The left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch operates as follows:
²Front Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the control knob on the end of the multi-function
switch left (lighting) control stalk is pulled outward
to activate the optional front fog lamps. The control
knob is mechanically keyed so that it cannot be
pulled outward unless it is first rotated to turn on
the exterior lighting. The multi-function switch pro-
vides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM) on a fog lamp switch sense
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or de-
energizing the front fog lamp relay in the Junction
Block (JB) as required.
²Headlamps-
The control knob on the end of the
multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk is
rotated forward (counterclockwise) to its second detent
position to activate the headlamps. The multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a headlamp switch
sense circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or
de-energizing the selected low or high beam relay
(Daytime Running Lamp relay in Canadian vehicles)
in the Junction Block (JB) as required.
²Headlamp Beam Selection-The left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled
towards the steering wheel past a detent to actuate
the integral beam select switch circuitry. Each time the
control stalk is activated in this manner, the opposite
headlamp beam from what is currently selected will be
energized. The multi-function switch provides a ground
output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a high
beam switch sense circuit, and the BCM responds by
energizing or de-energizing the selected low or high
beam relay (Daytime Running Lamp relay in Canadian
vehicles) in the Junction Block (JB) as required.
8Ls - 48 LAMPSKJ
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (Continued)
²Headlamp Optical Horn- The left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled
towards the steering wheel to just before a detent, to
momentarily activate the headlamp optical horn fea-
ture. The high beams will remain illuminated until
the control stalk is released. The multi-function
switch provides a ground output on a high beam
relay control circuit to energize the headlamp high
beam relay (Daytime Running Lamp relay in Cana-
dian vehicles) in the Junction Block (JB) as required.
²Interior Lamps Defeat- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to a full rearward (clockwise) detent to
defeat the illumination of all interior courtesy lamps.
The multi-function switch provides a resistor multi-
plexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on
a panel lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the
BCM responds by de-energizing its internal courtesy
lamp driver circuit.
²Interior Lamps On- The control ring on the
multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk is
rotated to a full forward (counterclockwise) detent to
illuminate all interior courtesy lamps. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing its internal courtesy lamp
driver circuit.
²Panel Lamps Dimming- The control ring on
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated to one of six minor intermediate detents to
simultaneously select the desired illumination inten-
sity of all adjustable instrument panel and instru-
ment cluster lighting. The control ring is rotated
rearward (clockwise) to dim, or forward (counter-
clockwise) to brighten. The multi-function switch pro-
vides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a panel lamps dimmer
switch mux circuit, and the BCM responds by send-
ing an electronic panel lamps dimming level message
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus. The EMIC electronic circuitry then
provides the proper PWM output to the cluster illu-
mination lamps and the VFD on the EMIC circuit
board, then provides a matching PWM output on the
hard wired fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal
circuit.
²Parade Mode- The control ring on the multi-
function switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated
to an intermediate detent that is one detent rear-
ward (clockwise) from the full forward (counterclock-
wise) detent to select the Parade mode. The multi-
function switch provides a resistor multiplexed
output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a panel
lamps dimmer switch mux circuit, and the BCMresponds by sending an electronic panel lamps dim-
ming level message to the ElectroMechanical Instru-
ment Cluster (EMIC) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The EMIC
electronic circuitry then provides the proper PWM
output to the cluster illumination lamps and the
VFD on the EMIC circuit board, then provides a
matching PWM output on the hard wired fused panel
lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to illuminate all
lamps at full (daylight) intensity with the exterior
lamps turned On.
²Park Lamps- The control knob on the end of
the multi-function switch left (lighting) control stalk
is rotated forward (counterclockwise) to its first
detent from the Off position to activate the park
lamps. The multi-function switch provides a resistor
multiplexed output to the Body Control Module
(BCM) on a headlamp switch sense circuit, and the
BCM responds by energizing or de-energizing the
park lamp relay in the Junction Block (JB) as
required.
²Rear Fog Lamps- For vehicles so equipped,
the control knob on the end of the multi-function
switch left (lighting) control stalk is rotated forward
(counterclockwise) to its third detent position to acti-
vate the rear fog lamps. The multi-function switch
provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a headlamp switch sense
circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing or de-
energizing the rear fog lamp relay in the Junction
Block (JB) as required. Rear fog lamps are optional
only for vehicles manufactured for certain markets,
where they are required.
²Turn Signal Control- The left (lighting) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch is moved
upward to activate the right turn signal circuitry,
and, downward to activate the left turn signal cir-
cuitry. The turn signal switch has a detent position
in each direction that provides turn signals with
automatic cancellation, and an intermediate, momen-
tary position in each direction that provides turn sig-
nals only until the left multi-function switch control
stalk is released. When the control stalk is moved to
a turn signal switch detent position, the cancel
actuator extends toward the center of the steering
column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to
the clockspring rotates with the steering wheel and
the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is
extended from the left multi-function switch. When
the steering wheel is rotated during a turning
maneuver, one of the two turn signal cancel cam
lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The
cancel actuator latches against the cancel cam rota-
tion in the direction opposite that which is signaled.
In other words, if the left turn signal detent is
selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past
KJLAMPS8Ls-49
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (Continued)
the cancel actuator when the steering wheel is
rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actua-
tor as the steering wheel rotates to the right and
returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal
event and release the control stalk from the detent so
it returns to the neutral Off position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides
a ground output on a right or left turn switch sense
circuit to the combination flasher circuitry within the
hazard switch, and the combination flasher flashes
the turn signal lamps.
RIGHT CONTROL STALK The right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch operates as fol-
lows:
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The control
knob on the end of the multi-function switch right
(wiper) control stalk is rotated to an intermediate
detent that is one detent rearward (counterclockwise)
from the full forward (clockwise) detent to select the
low speed continuous front wiper mode, or to its full
forward (clockwise) detent to select the high speed
continuous front wiper mode. The multi-function
switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the
Body Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch
mux circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the
wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) for the front low speed continuous wipe mode,
or the wiper on/off relay and the wiper high/low relay
in the PDC for the front high speed continuous wipe
mode as required.
²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) con-
trol stalk is rotated to the most forward (clockwise)
detent to select the continuous rear wiper mode. The
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper on driver
circuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in
the continuous wipe mode.
²Front Washer Mode- The right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards
the steering wheel to momentarily activate the
washer pump in the front washer mode. The washer
pump will continue to operate in the front washer
mode until the control stalk is released. The multi-
function switch provides a ground output on a
washer pump sense circuit, and battery current on a
washer pump driver circuit to energize the washer
pump in the front washer mode.
²Front Wiper Mist Mode- The right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch is pushed
towards the floor to momentarily activate the front
wiper motor in the mist mode. The front wiper motor
will continue to operate in the mist mode until the
control stalk is released. The multi-function switch
provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body
Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch muxcircuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the
wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) to operate the front wiper motor momentarily
at low speed to provide the front wiper mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- The control
knob on the end of the multi-function switch right
(wiper) control stalk is rotated to one of five minor
intermediate detents to select the desired intermit-
tent front wipe delay interval. The control knob is
rotated rearward (counterclockwise) to increase the
delay, or forward (clockwise) to decrease the delay.
The multi-function switch provides a resistor multi-
plexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on
a front wiper switch mux circuit, and the BCM
responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front
wiper motor at the selected delay intervals.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) con-
trol stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the
intermittent rear wiper mode. The multi-function
switch provides a battery current output to the rear
wiper motor on a rear wiper intermittent driver cir-
cuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in the
intermittent wipe mode.
²Rear Washer Mode- The control ring on the
multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is
rotated to either the full forward (clockwise) or full
rearward (counterclockwise) momentary positions to
activate the washer pump in the rear washer mode.
The washer pump will continue to operate in the rear
washer mode until the control ring is released. The
multi-function switch provides a ground output on a
washer pump driver circuit, and battery current on a
washer pump sense circuit to energize the washer
pump in the rear washer mode.
