Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Courtesy Lamps
The courtesy lamps are controlled by the SJB. The courtesy lamp subsystem consists of the interior dome lamps. The SJB controls the courtesy lamps by providing power and ground to the courtesy lamps. The courtesy lighting feature requests the courtesy lamps to be illuminated when any of the vehicle doors are opened or become ajar and the vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h (9 mph). The courtesy lamps turn off when the doors are closed or the vehicle speed reaches 15 km/h (9 mph). The courtesy lamps can also be turned on by rotating the instrument panel dimmer switch to the highest point. The theatre dimming feature raises the courtesy lamps over 0.7 seconds when courtesy lamp activation is requested, and lowers the courtesy lamps over 1.7 seconds when courtesy lighting deactivation is requested.
