Interior Lighting

INTERIOR LIGHTING
The illuminated Entry system consist of a maximum of three dome lamps which are located in the front, middle and rear of the head liner. While the vehicle is OFF the illuminated entry feature can be activated in the following ways.

Whenever a door is opened
* When the vehicle is unlocked with a key
* When the CTM receives a valid unlock signal from the RKE transmitter

The illuminated entry will remain on for 30 seconds after the last door is closed, turn OFF immediately after ignition is turned on, or turn OFF when the CTM receives a LOCK message from the RKE transmitter.


The door ajar switches are integral to the door latches on each front door. The door ajar switches for the side and rear doors are mounted to the door opening pillars. Each of these switches close a path to ground for the Central Timer Module (CTM) when a door is opened, and open the ground path when a door is closed.

The door ajar switches cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the door latch unit (front doors) or door ajar switch unit (side or rear doors) must be replaced.

15 Minute Illumination Timeout
If the ignition is OFF and either front door is open, interior illumination will terminate after 15 minutes. If either front door is open and the ignition is turned in the RUN or ACCESSORY position, interior illumination will continue until the ignition is turned OFF. Once the ignition is OFF, if either front door remains open, the 15 minute interior illumination timeout will begin. Note: This timeout feature does not apply to either auxiliary door or the dome lamp switch which are handwired to the courtesy lamps. The auxiliary door switches are also wired to the CTM to operate illuminated entry.
