The Headlamp Switch is a direct input to the BCM. The BCM sends a BUS message to the FCM informing it of a headlamp switch status change. The FCM then turns on power to the headlamps through four "fuseless" circuits. These circuits are electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Power is supplied to each filament in a separate circuit. For vehicles equipped with daytime running Lamps (DRL), the FCM electronically steps down the headlamp voltage to provide the desired illumination.
