Replacement Lighting
The LCM can use substitute bulbs for various lights if a failure should occur, for example:
- Front Parking Lights: If one of the parking lamps should fail, the LCM will illuminate the turn signal bulb on the affected side. The lamp will be dimmed by the LCM so that the intensity is the same as the parking lamp.
- Rear Taillights: If one of the rear taillights should fail, the LCM will switch on the brake lamp on the affected side. The lamp will be dimmed to the intensity of the tail lamp.
Output Voltage Limiting Function:
The output voltage applied to the parking and tail lamps is regulated to increase the life of the lamps. If the voltage at the LCM increases over 12.5 volts, the LCM will reduce the voltage to 12 volts.
