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
When a vehicle door is ajar with the vehicle speed less than 15 km/h (9 mph) or 5 km/h (3 mph) for puddle lamps, or a request from the instrument panel dimmer switch is received, the SJB provides voltage to the interior courtesy and puddle lamp circuits. The SJB controls all interior lighting functions and timing by monitoring inputs from the door ajar switches, the instrument panel dimmer switch, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and vehicle speed.
