Courtesy Lamp: Testing and Inspection
Pinpoint Test 1: The Courtesy Lamps Are Inoperative
PINPOINT TEST 1: THE COURTESY LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE
Normal Operation
Power is supplied to the courtesy lamps through the smart junction box (SJB) fuse 9 (15A), which supplies voltage to the courtesy lamps solid-state relay
in the SJB. When any door is opened, the ajar switch opens, signaling the SJB. The SJB monitors the ajar circuits, and based on the ajar status, the SJB
energizes the solid-state relay supplying voltage to the courtesy lamps on circuit (GY/V). The SJB also monitors the dome defeat output through circuit
(W/BR). A short to ground on circuit (W/BR) will cause the courtesy lamps to be inoperative. Ground for the courtesy lamps is supplied through circuit
(B/GY).
