Lamp Monitor

Lamp monitor system is made up of two main components, the Lamp Monitor Display and the adaptive Lamp Monitor Module.
Adaptive Lamp Monitor Module monitors each lighting circuit by looking at voltage across internal resistors in each monitored lighting circuit. If voltage drop across one of these resistors decreases by a certain percentage, Adaptive Lamp Monitor Module recognizes this as a lamp outage and communicates this information over the serial data line to Lamp Monitor Display. Lamp Monitor Display then flashes the corresponding light emitting diode (LED) approximately 10 seconds, then lighting LED indicating a bulb outage.

Adaptive Lamp Monitor module is adaptive because it may be used in vehicles with various lighting configurations. This module recognizes and adapts to a particular lighting configuration when ignition switch is at RUN and park lights are turned on. This module must relearn vehicle lighting configuration if battery is disconnected.
