The following exterior lighting
features apply to vehicles first sold
in the United States.
The vehicle has Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and an Automatic
Headlamp System (AHS). The DRL
and AHS can be turned to OFF with
the headlamp switch when the
transmission is in P (Park) and the
engine is at idle. If the engine is not
turned off, the DRL and AHS will
remain OFF when the transmission
is placed in gear. The vehicle may
be driven with the lamps off for one
ignition cycle.
The vehicle may have been built
with SEO 9G8, DRL AND AHS
DISABLE. This feature turns off
DRL and AHS and requires manual
control of the exterior lighting. See
your dealer to restore the DRL and
AHS to normal operation.For vehicles first sold in Canada,
the DRL and AHS can be turned off
if the transmission is in P (Park).

Engine Idle Speed - Alternator
Output
Normal idle speed for the engine is
set for 600 rpm. To increase
alternator output while the
transmission remains in P (Park) or
N (Neutral), and the electrical load
on the alternator is large enough,
the engine idle speed can rise to as
high as 800 to 1000 rpm.

The circuit is at 0 volts when the
transmission is in any other
position, i.e., R (Reverse),
N (Neutral), D (Drive) or
M (Manual). Note that the circuit
is also at 12 volts with the
transmission in P (Park) and the
ignition in LOCK/OFF. To avoid
the possibility of undesired
parasitic electrical load with the
ignition in LOCK/OFF it is
suggested that the Park/Signal
circuit be isolated by routing it
through the normally open
contact of a customer furnished
ignition controlled relay.
.A dark green/white, 0.5 mm²
(20 gauge) Vehicle Speed
Signal (VSS) provides
4,000 pulses per mile.
*These two circuits share a
15 amp fuse. (10 amp combined

The following information tells how
to access the vehicle's relay and
breaker center for checking and
replacing breakers.
The breaker and relay center is
located behind and above the
instrument panel storage
compartment. Remove contents
from the storage tray. Using the tab
at the back of the compartment,
drop the tray down gently toward
the floor. It will hang from the hinge.
The breaker/relay center is located
above the right rear corner of the
storage compartment. The bracket
is attached to the instrument panel
structure with two screws.
Replace a 30 amp circuit breaker
with GM Part No. 12182117 circuit
breaker, or equivalent. Replace a
relay with a GM Part No. 12193604

Exterior Lamp
Emergency Flashing
System - SEO 6J7
SEO 6J7 provides a high-beam
headlamps flashing module, rear
lamps flashing and control wire for a
customer-furnished switch to turn
the module on or off. The flasher
control wire is coiled under the
center of the instrument panel. This
control lead may be combined with
the interior wiring leads for SEO 6J3
when that option is ordered with
SEO 6J7.
The headlamps flashing module is
located below the passenger side
front headlamp and forward of the
passenger side front wheel. The
module is connected to an inline
connector in the forward lamp
harness. The headlamps flashing
module is activated by the
application of 12 volts to a dark
green/red wire coiled in the
passenger side footwell.When activated, the driver and
passenger side high-beam
headlamps and the high-beam
instrument panel cluster light will
flash alternately at 2.4 flashes per
second.
When the headlamps flashing
module is turned on, the module
sends a signal to the Body Control
Module (BCM). The BCM alternately
flashes the stop lamps and backup
lamps. Depressing the brake pedal
will override the stop lamp flashing
and placing the transmission in
reverse will override the backup
lamp flashing.
Activation of the headlamp and
rearlamp flashing can be separated
by opening the dark-blue/yellow
BCM circuit at the flasher module
connector, C122–F, and applying a
customer-switched ground to the
harness side of the wire in the
connector.
During daylight conditions, the
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are
automatically turned off whenever
the headlamps flasher module is
activated. During nighttime
conditions, the low-beam
headlamps turn on automatically
while the high-beam headlamps
flash. Turning on the high-beam
headlamps manually with the turn
signal/multifunction lever will
override the flashing module and
the high-beam headlamps will
operate continuously.
