Lamp Out Indicator: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Circuit Operation
The lamp monitor system is made up of two main components: the Driver Information Center (DIC) and the Adaptive Lamp Monitor Control Module.
The Adaptive Lamp Monitor Control Module monitors each lighting circuit by looking at voltage across internal resistors in each monitored lighting
circuit. If the voltage drop across one of these resistors decreases by a certain percentage, the Adaptive Lamp Monitor Module recognizes this as a lamp
outage and communicates this information over the serial data line to the DIC. The DIC then displays an outage and sounds a slow chime for 5 seconds.
The Adaptive Lamp Monitor Module is adaptive because it may be used in vehicles with various lighting configurations. This module recognizes and
adapts to a particular lighting configuration when the Ignition Switch is in RUN and the park lamps are turned on. This module must relearn the vehicle
lighting configuration if the battery is disconnected.
