Side Step Light Timer Function: Notes

The side step light-ECU controls the side step lights as follows when the ignition switch is at "LOCK" (OFF) position and all the doors are closed:

• If the side step light-ECU receives door unlock signal from the unlock relay, the side step lights fade in over a 0.6 second period, and then illuminate for 13.2 seconds at maximum brightness. Then the lights will fade out over a 1.2 second period.
• If the side step light-ECU receives lock signal from the lock relay, the side step lights fade out over a 1.2 second period.
• If a door is opened, the side step lights fade in over a 0.6 second period, and then illuminate for 148.2 seconds at maximum brightness. Then the lights will fade out over a 1.2 second period.

The side step light-ECU controls the side step lights as follows when the ignition switch is at "LOCK" (OFF) position and any door is open:

• The side step lights do not go out until a predetermined period elapses even if the doors are locked.
• The side step lights do not illuminate even if the doors are unlocked.
• When the doors are closed while the side step lights are on, the lights illuminate for 28.8 seconds at maximum brightness immediately after that and then fade out.
• If all the doors are closed with the side step lights on and then any door is opened before the lights go out, the lights illuminate for 148.2 seconds at maximum brightness immediately after that, and then fade out.

If the ignition switch is turned from "LOCK" (OFF) to "ON" with the side step lights on, the side step light-ECU makes the side step lights fade out.
