There are two back-up (reversing) lamps. These are in the tail lamps. The back-up (reversing) lamp lights when back-up (reverse) gear is selected. The back-up (reversing) lamps are connected to the central electronic module (CEM) via a directly connected relay. The lamps are powered via the relay.

Cars with manual transmissions 

Cars with manual transmissions have a back-up (reverse) switch on the transmission. The switch closes and transmits a directly connected signal to the central electronic module (CEM) when back-up (reverse) gear is selected.

Cars with automatic transmissions 

In cars with automatic transmissions, a signal is transmitted from the transmission control module (TCM) on the controller area network (CAN) to the central electronic module (CEM) indicating that back-up (reverse) gear is selected.

There are diagnostics for the back-up (reversing) lamp relay.
