Backup Lamps

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Battery voltage from the CHMSL/BCK-UP fuse located in the rear fuse block is supplied to the body control module (BCM) for backup lamp operation. When the gear selector is placed in to the REVERSE position, the powertrain control module (PCM) sends a serial data message to the BCM indicating that the gear selector is in the reverse position. The BCM then applies battery voltage to the backup lamp supply voltage circuit illuminating the left and right backup lamps. The engine may need to be running for the backup lamps to function.
