Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The body control module (BCM) supplies a reference voltage to the backlight dimmer switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the backlight dimmer switch is placed in a desired brightness position, reference voltage is applied through the backlight dimmer switch resistor ladder to the BCM. The BCM interprets this voltage signal and will command the interior lights to the desired brightness, command the front fog lamps or the rear fog lamps depending upon the switch setting selected.
