NOTE:
Each back lighted component may need to be disconnected to isolate a short to voltage or short to ground. Use the schematic to identify the following:
- Back lighted components the vehicle is equipped with.
- Component locations on the back lighting dimming control circuit
- Each component's control and ground circuit terminals
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at any component with inoperative backlighting.
- Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, interior lamps OFF, doors CLOSED, test for less than 5 Ξ© between the ground circuit and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit and ground.
- Command the Incandescent Dimming Control ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the component with the inoperative backlighting.
