Principles of Operation

The Lighting Control Module (LCM) controls several vehicle subsystems. Diagnostic information is retrieved from the LCM on the Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP) network.

Subsystem functions of the LCM include:

- Battery saver and control backlighting
- Brake shift interlock
- Exterior lighting
- Interior lighting
- Perimeter alarm
