Purpose
The switch turns on/off in conjunction with the front door key cylinder lock/unlock and the rear body control module (RBCM) detects the key cylinder operation condition by the change in the voltage.
Function
The key cylinder switch contact point changes in conjunction with the front door key cylinder lock/unlock operation.
Construction
