Headlamps - Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Voltage to the headlamp switch is available at all times through the
following components:
When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, a light sensor located
in the right speaker grill senses either a daylight or a dark condition. The
body control module (BCM) controls the operation of the following components:
• | The headlamp power relay |
• | The headlamp grounding relay |
• | The DRL operation during daylight conditions |
The headlamp power relay coil is grounded through the following components:
• | The underhood fuse block |
• | CKT 350 (BLK) to ground G102 |
The RH headlamp high beam bulb receives current through CKT 198
(DK BLU). The body control module (BCM) energizes the following components:
• | The headlamp grounding relay |
When the headlamp grounding relay is energized, the ground path for
regular headlamp operation is eliminated. At the same time, the DRL relay
is energized. The DRL relay being energized then places both headlamp high
beam bulbs in series. This operation causes both of the headlights to light
at half there normal output. The ground circuit for the daytime running
lights (DRL) is completed through the following components:
• | The DRL relay (closed contacts) |
• | The underhood fuse block to CKT 350 (BLK) to ground G102 |
A voltage signal is sent to the body control module (BCM), through CKT 524
(PPL), to confirm proper DRL operation.
