AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM (w/o Navigation System) - Dimmer Signal Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The radio receiver assembly uses this circuit to communicate with the main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) via a direct line. The main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) uses this circuit to send an auto dimmer signal to the radio receiver assembly. The main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) detects the position of the light control switch according to the resistance. When the light control switch is set to the head/tail position, the resistance between the head/tail terminal and body ground is below 1 Ω. When the light control switch is set to the head/tail position, the main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) sends an auto dimmer signal to the radio receiver assembly. When the radio receiver assembly receives an auto dimmer signal from the main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH), the radio receiver assembly causes instrument panel illumination to be dimmed.
