Component Description

Part	Description
BCM	Controls the exterior lighting system.
Combination switch (Lighting & turn signal switch)	Refer to BCS-9, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING SYSTEM : System Description" (with Intelligent Key system) or BCS-80, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING SYSTEM : System Description" (without Intelligent Key system).
IPDM E/R	Controls the integrated relays and supplies voltage to the load according to the request from the BCM via CAN communication.
Stop lamp switch	Transmits power when the brake pedal is pressed to operate stop lamps.
Combination meter	Refer to MWI-8, "METER SYSTEM : System Description".
Daytime light relay (if equipped)	Sends power to the daytime lamp when operated by the IPDM E/R.
Front door switch LH/RH	Transmits the door open signal to the BCM.
Rear door switch LH/RH	Transmits the door open signal to the BCM.
Optical sensor	Optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to BCM to operate the autolight system.
Parking brake switch	Transmits the parking brake switch signal to the combination meter to operate the autolight system.
Hazard switch	Inputs the hazard switch signal to BCM.
