Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra and 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The indicator lamps circuit consist of the following 5 individual lamps contained inside the mode/range switch assembly:

The following lamps are contained inside their respective range button:

When the ignition in ON, the transfer case shift control module illuminates the indicator that corresponds to the current automatic transfer case (ATC) gear position by providing a ground through a current limiting driver.

The transfer case shift control module flashes each indicator lamp after a shift has been requested, and continues to flash until the transfer case shift control module can complete the shift.

A solid state circuit located inside the switch supplies ignition voltage to the lamps. The solid state circuit also receives voltage when the headlamp switch is in the parklamp or headlamp position. When the solid state circuit receives voltage from the headlamp switch, the switch reduces the voltage supplied to the indicator lamps, dimming the lamps when the headlamps are ON.
