The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the Ambient Light Sensor signal circuit in order to determine if the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) or the Auto Headlights (ALC) should be turned ON in the AUTO mode. When the BCM senses the ambient light sensor signal voltage is between 1.75-4.9 volts, either the DRL will be commanded ON or the ALC will be commanded ON depending upon the amount of light received by the sensor.
