Courtesy Lamps

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Envoy XL, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The courtesy lamps include the reading lamps, the footwell courtesy lamps, cargo lamp, and dome lamps. The footwell courtesy lamps, cargo lamp and dome lamps may be manually turned on or off by placing the interior lamp switch in the ON or OFF position. When the driver places the dome lamp defeat switch in the OFF position, these courtesy lamps will be disabled. If a door is opened, the courtesy lamps illuminate. After all the doors have been closed, the courtesy lamps will remain illuminated approximately 15 seconds after the last door closes. The courtesy lamps will also turn on prior to any door being opened and will remain illuminated approximately 40 seconds when the driver removes the ignition key. The BCM will immediately turn off the courtesy lamps if a door lock command is received with all of the doors closed, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the ON or RUN position.
