OFF-ROAD LAMPS


System Description

The off-road lamps are activated with the off-road lamps switch. The off-road lamps switch provides a request signal to the BCM. The BCM grounds the off-road lamps relay coil to activate the off-road lamps. The high beam headlamps must be ON and the off-road lamp covers removed in order for the BCM to activate the off-road lamps relay.

OFF ROAD LAMP OPERATION
When the off-road lamps switch is in the ON position, the lighting switch is in the 2nd position with the high beams activated and the off-road lamp covers removed, the BCM grounds the off-road lamp relay coil to activate the off-road lamps. The BCM monitors the off-road lamps switch, the lighting switch position via the combination switch reading function and the off-road lamp covers via the off-road lamp cover sensors. The offroad lamp cover sensor is a magnetic sensor which monitors for the presence of the off-road lamp covers.
