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.
Principles of Operation: Notes
The SJB controls various systems (such as exterior lighting, interior lighting, power door locks, anti-theft system, dimmable backlighting and the battery saver feature) by monitoring inputs from switches, sensors and messages sent from other modules on the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). Based on the inputs received, the SJB activates outputs. For example, the SJB monitors the headlamp switch position. Based on this input, the SJB may provide voltage to the exterior lamps.
