Dimmer Signal Circuit: Description

The radio receiver assembly uses this circuit to communicate with the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via a direct line. The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) uses this circuit to send an auto dimmer signal to the radio receiver assembly. The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) detects the position of the light control switch according to the resistance. When the light control switch is set to the head or tail position, the resistance between the head or tail terminal and body ground is below 1 Ω. When the light control switch is set to the head or tail position, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) 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 (multiplex network body ECU), the radio receiver assembly causes instrument panel illumination to be dimmed.
