Instrument Panel Dimming

INSTRUMENT PANEL DIMMING
I/P dimming is accomplished using the body computer. The panel dimming level switch is read by the body computer which converts the level to a value which is sent over the CCD bus. Other modules such as the radio, Compass/Mini Trip Computer (CMTC), cluster, and the Vehicle Information Center (VIC) use this data to follow the other incandescent bulbs in the vehicle which are directly driven by the body computer.
