Keyboard backlight, caps lock, fingerprint RGW - any current limiting on the motherboard?

I'm developing breakouts for the input connector, and I realized I have no idea whether there's any current limiting on these pins. Are there any resistors (or other current limiting mechanisms) on the mainboard before any of these signals reach the input connector?

num name notes
27 CAPS_P 5V
28 CAPS_N  
30 KBL_P 5V (PWM)
32 KBL_P 5V (PWM)
45 FPR_LED_R  
46 FPR_LED_W  
47 FPR_LED_G  
48 FPR_LED_COM 5V

CAPS and FPR_LED signals are enabled using PJT138K MOSFETs. The KBL is switched with a AO3413. All of the signals except the keyboard matrix are also ESD protected using AZ1045-04F parts.

Thank you, the schematic provided clears it all up! For anyone who could use this info in short form - CAPS_P is created with a 1.33k resistor from +5VS, and CAPS lock LED is driven low-side. Fingerprint LED is driven low-side and has no such limiting. Backlight has no limiting, and is driven high-side, with two pins used as described in #5 .
