Exterior Courtesy Lamps
The BCM, drivers door module (DDM), and the passenger door module (PDM) communicate through the class 2 serial data system. The DDM and the PDM supply power and ground to the left and right exterior lamps respectively. When the BCM commands illuminated entry, a command is also sent to the DDM/PDM for illumination of the exterior courtesy lamps. If the door locks are activated to the LOCK position, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the ON or RUN position the exterior courtesy lamps will deactivate immediately.When an outside door handle is lifted or a door is opened, the exterior courtesy lamps illuminate.
