Illuminated Entry

When the ambient light sensor indicates darkness, the illuminated entry activates the courtesy lamps when the keyless entry transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle, when a front door is unlocked using a key, or a door is opened. After unlocking the vehicle with the keyless entry transmitter or unlocking a front door using a key, the PZM will turn on the courtesy lamps for twenty seconds with no other inputs. The courtesy lamps will remain ON for 20 seconds after all of the doors are closed. The PZM controls the time delay. If the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position before twenty seconds has elapsed, the PZM will immediately turn OFF the courtesy lamps.

Battery positive voltage (B+) is applied during inadvertent power through the INT LPS Fuse to the courtesy lamps and the coil side of the courtesy relay. When the PZM receives a signal to activate the courtesy lamps, ground is provided for the coil of the courtesy relay. The coil is energized, closing the switch contacts. Ground is then provided via CKT 1495 (DK BLU/WHT) for the courtesy lamps. The lamps will then illuminate.
