Backup Lamp: Description and Operation

BACKUP LAMPS

The B/U LP 20 A fuse in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open park neutral position (PNP) switch. When driver places the gear selector lever is in the REVERSE position, the switch closes and the voltage is from the switch to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM signals the BCM on the class II serial data circuits that the backup lamps are requested. The BCM supplies voltage on the backup lamp supply voltage circuit to the backup lamps and to the automatic day/night mirror. The backup lamps are grounded at G401. Voltage for the backup lamp supply voltage, without RPO YF7 the courtesy lamp supply voltage, and with RPO YF7 the courtesy lamp high control circuits is from the TBC 2 fuse 18 in the underhood fuse block directly through the BCM to these circuits.
