Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The body control module (BCM) supplies battery voltage to the reading lamp via the courtesy lamp control circuit. The reading lamp is controlled by an individual switch that is activated by the operator when additional cabin lighting is required. In the event that the courtesy reading lamp were to remain illuminated for more than 10 minutes with the ignition switch in the OFF position and no doors opened, the BCM will deactivate the courtesy lamp control circuit to prevent total battery discharge.
