Circuit/System Description

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

The body control module (BCM) supplies a reference voltage to the dimmer switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the dimmer switch is placed in a desired brightness position, reference voltage is applied through the dimmer switch rheostat to the BCM. The BCM interprets this voltage signal, then applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to the LED dimming supply circuit to all related interior lamps, illuminating them to the desired level of brightness.
