Daytime Running Lamp: Description and Operation

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (DRL)

NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) must be configured when installing a new module.

The DRL system operates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity.

The SJB supplies pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to illuminate the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity when the following conditions are met:
- The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
- The headlamps have not been turned on by the autolamp system or the headlamp switch.
- The transmission is not in PARK (P).
