function switch and feedback from the turn signal
circuits. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DISTRI-
BUTION/FUSE BLOCK - DESCRIPTION).
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 wip-
ers, turn signals and engine start control module
located within the fuse block underneath the steering
column, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC), the Engine Control Module (ECM), or theController Area Network (CAN) data bus network.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the electronic module within the fuse block,
the EMIC, the ECM, and the CAN data bus network
inputs and outputs related to the various exterior
lighting systems requires the use of a diagnostic scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
BACKUP LAMPS
The backup (or reverse) lamps have a path to
ground received at all times through the vehicle wire
harness from a ground point located on the frame
near the left end of the tailgate sill. The backup
lamps receive battery current on the backup lamp
supply circuit only when the backup lamp switch cir-
cuit of the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) integral
to the gear shifter assembly is closed by the gear
shifter mechanism.
BRAKE LAMPS
The brake (or stop) lamps have a path to ground at
all times through the vehicle wire harness from a
ground point located on the frame near the left end
of the tailgate sill. The Center High Mounted Stop
Lamp (CHMSL) has a path to ground at all times
through the vehicle wire harness from a ground point
on the left side of the dash panel. The brake lamps
and CHMSL receive battery current on the brake
lamp switch output circuit when the brake lamp
switch is closed by the brake pedal arm.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada illumi-
nate the low beam headlamp bulb when the engine is
running and the exterior lamps are turned off. This
feature is enabled by the right and left Daytime Run-
ning Lamps (DRL) relays. When the DRL relays are
de-energized, they provide fused battery current from
the circuit K26 relay to the headlamp low beams.
When the headlamps are turned On using the left
(lighting) control stalk of the multi-function switch
the DRL relays are energized, which returns control
of the headlamps to the headlamp switch circuitry of
the multi-function switch. The circuit K26 relay is
energized by the ElectroMechanical Instrument Clus-
ter (EMIC) whenever it receives an electronic mes-
sage from the Engine Control Module (ECM) over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus indicating
that the engine is running. The DRL and circuit K26
relays are installed in a relay bracket located below
the forward edge of the driver side front seat cushion
within the driver side front seat riser.
FRONT FOG LAMPS
Vehicles equipped with optional front fog lamps
have a front fog lamp relay installed in a relay
bracket located below the forward edge of the driver
side front seat cushion within the driver side front
VALAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR 8L - 3

seat riser, a fog lamp switch installed in the cluster
bezel on the instrument panel outboard of the steer-
ing column, and a fog lamp bulb installed in each of
the two front lamp units. The front fog lamps have a
path to ground at all times through their connection
to the vehicle wire harness. The headlamp switch cir-
cuitry of the left (lighting) control stalk of the multi-
function switch controls front fog lamp operation by
providing battery current to the front fog lamp relay
only when the low beam headlamps are selected. The
fog lamp switch controls front fog lamp operation by
energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp relay
control coil.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
With the hazard switch in the On position, the
hazard switch button illuminates and the right and
left turn signal indicators as well as the right and
left turn signal lamps begin to flash on and off. When
the hazard warning system is activated, the hazard
switch circuitry within the multi-function switch and
the wipers, turn signals and engine start control
module electronic circuitry within the fuse block will
repeatedly energize and de-energize the turn signal
relay located in the fuse block. The turn signal relay
switches battery current from a fused B(+) fuse in
the fuse block to the turn signal indicators and the
turn signal lamps. The flashing of the hazard switch
button illumination lamp is also controlled by the
output from the turn signal relay.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the exterior lighting
switches integral to the left (lighting) control stalk of
the multi-function switch as well as the low and high
beam bulbs installed in the right and left front lamp
units (Fig. 1). The headlamp bulbs have a path to
ground at all times through the vehicle wire harness.
The exterior lighting switches control headlamp oper-
ation by providing battery current to the selected low
or high beam bulbs. Each front lamp unit includes
two integral adjustment screws to be used for static
horizontal and vertical aiming of the headlamp beam
reflectors.HEADLAMP LEVELING
The headlamp leveling system includes a leveling
actuator motor integral to each front lamp unit, and
a rotary thumbwheel actuated headlamp leveling
switch in the cluster bezel on the instrument panel
outboard of the steering column. The headlamp lev-
eling system allows the headlamp beam reflectors to
be adjusted to one of four vertical positions to com-
pensate for changes in inclination caused by the load-
ing of the vehicle suspension. The actuator motors
are mechanically connected through an integral
pushrod to an adjustable headlamp reflector. The
headlamp leveling switch is a resistor multiplexed
unit that provides one of four voltage outputs to the
headlamp leveling motors. The headlamp leveling
motors will move the headlamps to the selected posi-
tion based upon the voltage input received from the
switch. 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 park lamps circuit so that the
system will only operate when the exterior lighting is
turned on.
PARK LAMPS
The park lamps system includes the exterior light-
ing switches integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch (Fig. 1), the front
park/side marker lamps, the front position lamps, the
rear park lamps, the rear side marker lamps, the
optional clearance lamps, and the license plate
lamps. Each of these lamps are provided with a path
to ground at all times through the vehicle wire har-
ness. The exterior lighting switches control the park
lamp operation by providing battery current through
the park lamps circuit to the appropriate lamp bulbs.

TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
When the left (lighting) control stalk of the multi-
function switch is activated (Fig. 1), the turn signal
system illuminates the selected right or left turn sig-
nal indicator and the turn signal lamps begin to
flash. The turn signal lamps include a bulb integral
to each front lamp unit and each tail lamp unit, as
well as a repeater lamp bulb located on each front
fender above the front wheels. When the turn signal
system is activated, the turn signal switch circuitry
within the multi-function switch and the electronic
circuitry of the wipers, turn signals and engine start
control module within the fuse block will repeatedly
energize and de-energize the turn signal relay
located in the fuse block. The turn signal relay
switches battery current from a fused ignition switch
output fuse in the fuse block to the appropriate turn
signal indicator and turn signal lamps.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
contactless relay will generate repetitive, audible
turn signal ªclickº sounds to emulate the sounds of a
conventional electro-mechanical turn signal flasher
at one of two rates to coincide with the flashing of
the turn signals. The slow rate emulates normal turn
signal operation, while the fast rate emulates ªbulb
outº turn signal operation.
