Illuminated Entry

The Body Control Module provides a ground to turn on the Dome Lamp (Coupe) or Rear Courtesy Lamps (Convertible) for illuminated entry whenever a Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter request is received.

With a "Lock" request, the Dome Lamp (Coupe) or Rear Courtesy Lamps (Convertible) are immediately turned off to provide visual confirmation that a lock function was performed.

With an "Unlock" or "Hatch Release" request, the Dome Lamp (Coupe) or Rear Courtesy Lamps (Convertible) are turned on for 40 seconds to provide illuminated entry and hatch area illumination.

The illuminated entry time cannot be extended by pressing the Lock, Unlock or Hatch Release Buttons until it has timed out. Illuminated entry is disabled as soon as the Body Control Module sees an Ignition "ON" input.
