Keyless Entry Interior Illumination

When the driver uses the door key in order to unlock the doors, the illuminated entry module, or with RKE, the remote control door lock receiver receives a door unlock signal. The module or receivers signal comes from the door jamb switches which ground at G200 and G201. The module or receiver must have inputs that indicate that the ignition switch is OFF, the courtesy lamp switch is OFF and all the doors are closed. The module or receiver will then activate the interior lamps. The courtesy lamps will remain on, approximately 15 seconds after the door is closed. If the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position the courtesy lamps will turn off immediately.

When the driver uses the remote function actuator transmitter to unlock the doors, or presses the panic button, the module or receiver will keep the courtesy lamps on approximately 40 seconds. When the driver uses the remote function actuator transmitter to lock the doors, the module or receiver will keep the courtesy lamps on approximately 2 seconds. When the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position the courtesy lamps will turn off immediately.
