The interior lighting consists of 2 groups. The first group includes lamps that may not be dimmed.

The courtesy/illuminated entry lamps, may be manually turned ON or OFF by placing the interior lamp switch in the ON or OFF position. If an outside door handle is lifted and a door is opened, the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps illuminate. After all the doors have been closed the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps will remain illuminated approximately 15 seconds. The body control module (BCM) will then turn them OFF through the theater dimming feature. The courtesy/illuminated entry lamps will also turn ON prior to any door being opened, and remain illuminated approximately 40 seconds when the driver removes the ignition key. When the driver places the dome lamp defeat switch in the OFF position, the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps will be disabled.

The BCM, the door switches, and the liftgate module (LGM) (if equipped with power liftgate) communicate through the GMLAN serial data circuit for the lamp illumination commands of the doors, liftgate, and liftglass open/ajar switch signals. The LGM receives a ground signal from the pawl switch, ratchet switch, and liftglass ajar switch that are located within the liftgate latch and liftglass latch. For all vehicles, the left and right rear door latch switches are both on one circuit that is also an input to the BCM.

If the vehicle has a manual liftgate, there is an input circuit from the liftgate latch switch and liftglass latch switch directly to the BCM.

The left and right front door courtesy lamps receive voltage and ground from the driver door switch and the passenger door switch respectively. The remaining courtesy lamps are controlled and receive voltage through the BCM from the CTSY fuse in the instrument panel fuse block.

When the driver uses the door key in order to unlock the doors, the body control module (BCM) receives a door unlock signal. The BCM must have inputs or serial data messages that indicate that the ignition switch is OFF, the courtesy lamp switch is OFF and all the doors are closed. The BCM will then activate the interior lamps. The courtesy lamps will remain ON, approximately 15 seconds after the door is closed. The BCM will then turn them OFF through the theater dimming feature. If the door locks are activated to the LOCK position, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position the courtesy lamps will turn OFF immediately.

When the driver uses the remote function actuator transmitter to unlock the doors, trunk or presses the panic button, the BCM will keep the courtesy lamps ON approximately 40 seconds. When the driver uses the remote function actuator transmitter to lock the doors, the BCM will keep the courtesy lamps on approximately 2 seconds. If the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or CRANK position the courtesy lamps will turn OFF immediately.

The inadvertent power supply voltage circuit of the body control module (BCM) provides battery positive voltage to each vanity mirror lamp. When the vanity mirror cover on the sunshade is opened, a switch closes to provide a ground circuit and the vanity lamp illuminates.

The inadvertent power supply voltage circuit of the body control module (BCM) provides battery positive voltage to the reading lamps. The reading lamps and switch are integral to the courtesy/reading lamp assembly. When the switch is closed, voltage is supplied and the lamp illuminates.

The body control module (BCM) inadvertent power supply voltage circuit provides battery positive voltage from the IS LAMPS fuse in the instrument panel fuse block to all of the interior reading lamps, visor vanity mirror lamps, and cargo lamps if equipped. In the event that any of these lamps were to remain illuminated for a period of more than 10 minutes with the ignition switch in the OFF position, the BCM will deactivate the inadvertent power supply voltage circuit to prevent a total battery discharge condition.

The second interior lighting group includes lamps which may be dimmed. This group may use a combination of vacuum fluorescent (VF) illumination, LED illumination and incandescent lamps.

When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the radio VF display turns ON at maximum brightness. When the park lamps are ON, all incandescent and LED back lighting turn ON at the dimming level indicated by the instrument panel (I/P) dimmer switch. At the same time all VF displays dim to match the indicated dimming level. The panel dimmer switch potentiometer is an input to the body control module (BCM). When the driver selects a dimming setting by moving the I/P dimming switch potentiometer, all incandescent back lighting lamps are provided with a specific voltage. When the I/P dimmer switch is moved from MIN to MAX, all VF displays, as well as all incandescent back lighting respond from minimum intensity to maximum brightness in response to the I/P dimmer switch.

The left and right front door switch illumination is controlled, receives voltage and ground from the driver door switch and passenger switch respectively. The radio is also a GMLAN module and has full control of its illumination. The BCM, door switches, and radio communicate through GMLAN serial data for the lamp illumination commands.

The interor back lighting and indicators that are supplied through the BCM are controlled through the follwoing control circuits:

The following indicators receive voltage from the BCM and are controlled by ground from a switch or from various modules:

The indicators receive voltage from the BCM on the LED dimming circuit. Control for the indicators is from the various modules or switches. Voltage for the LED dimming supply circuit, instrument panel lamps dimming control circuit and the instrument panel lamps dimming supply circuit is from the BCM.

The modules controlling the above indicators are as follows:
