Exterior Lighting

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Headlamps - Standard
The standard headlamp system is a quad-beam pattern system. It consists of replaceable low and high beam bulbs. The headlamp assembly has the park/turn indicator lamp integrated into the headlamp assembly. The smart junction box (SJB) supplies voltage to the headlamps when demanded.

Headlamps - High Intensity Discharge (HID)
The HID headlamp system is a quad-beam pattern system. It consists of a ballast and replaceable low and high beam bulbs. The headlamp assembly has the park/turn indicator lamp integrated into the headlamp assembly. The SJB supplies voltage to the HID relays and the headlamps when demanded.

Autolamps
The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on/off control of the exterior lamps. The autolamp system keeps the exterior lamps on for a pre-selected period of time after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The pre-selected time lapse is adjustable up to approximately 3 minutes.

To program the time lapse, carry out the following sequence:

1. NOTE: Steps 2 through 5 must be carried out within a 10-second period.

Start with the ignition switch in the OFF position and the headlamp switch in the AUTOLAMPS position.

2. Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the RUN position.
4. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
5. Place the headlamp switch in the AUTOLAMPS position.
- At this point, the exterior lamps turn on.

6. At the desired autolamp time delay, place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.
- At this point, the exterior lamps turn off and the time delay is set.

Stoplamps
The SJB monitors input from the stoplamp switch. The stoplamps are supplied voltage when the brake pedal is applied.

Turn Signal/Hazard Lamps
The front turn signal lamps are located within the headlamp assemblies. When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN positions, the SJB routes voltage to the LH or RH turn signal lamps. The SJB then cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times per minute. If a front or rear turn bulb is inoperative, the SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 160 times per minute.

The hazard switch is located in the instrument panel center finish panel. When the hazard switch is engaged, the SJB supplies voltage to all the turn lamps. The SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times per minute.

Parking Lamps
The SJB supplies voltage to the parking lamps when demanded. The front parking lamps are located in the headlamp assemblies. The rear parking lamps are located in the rear lamp assemblies (and in the reversing lamp assemblies for Zephyr).

Fog Lamps
The fog lamp switch is integral to the headlamp switch. When the fog lamp switch is engaged, voltage is supplied by the SJB to the fog lamp relay coil, which then energizes and routes voltage to the fog lamps. The fog lamps can be turned on when the ignition switch is in the RUN or START position, the low beam headlamps are on, and the high beam headlamps are off.

Reversing Lamps

Automatic Transaxle
When the transaxle is placed in REVERSE, the SJB provides a ground for the reversing lamp relay coil (internal to the SJB). The reversing lamps receive voltage when the reversing lamp relay is energized. The reversing lamps are located within the rear lamp assemblies (Fusion), or the decklid (Milan and Zephyr).

Manual Transaxle
When the transaxle is placed in REVERSE, the reversing lamp switch closes and provides voltage to the reversing lamps.
