Exterior Lighting

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

The exterior lighting system consists of the following components:
- Headlamp assemblies
- Rear lamp assemblies
- Reversing lamps
- License plate lamp
- Front turn signal/cornering lamps (located in the headlamp assembly)
- High mounted stoplamp
- Light sensor (located under the center of the defroster grille panel)
- Multifunction switch
- Headlamp switch
- Stoplamp switch
- Ballast (HID headlamps only) (located in the headlamp assembly)
- Lighting control module (LCM) (located behind the LH instrument panel lower insulator rearward of the accelerator pedal)

Lighting Control Module (LCM)
The LCM eliminates the electronic interference and heat associated with the thermoelectric devices used previously. The LCM is a microprocessor based module that controls several vehicle subsystems. It responds to electrical input signals from various switches, sensors, and external modules.

LCM exterior lighting subsystem functions include:
- Headlamps with autolamps
- Turn signal lamps/hazard flasher lamps
- Parking lamps
- Battery saver
