Circuit/System Description
The BCM supplies a voltage reference through the instrument panel (I/P) dimming voltage reference circuit to the interior lamp dimmer switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the dimmer switch is placed in a desired position, reference voltage
is applied through the dimmer switch rheostat and the I/P lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets this voltage signal, then applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage, supplied by the SWITCH DM Fuse located in the rear fuse block,
through the instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuits illuminating the components listed below.
| • | Power Window Switches-Rear Doors |
| • | Reverse Lockout Solenoid |
| • | Garage Door Opener Transmitter |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The headlamps or park lamps ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground on the instrument panel lamps supply voltage circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM does not attempt to illuminate the instrument panel lamps.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, cover the ambient light sensor, vary the interior lamp dimming switch from dim to full bright. The I/P lamps should dim and then become full bright.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the (C2) harness connector at the BCM.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the supply voltage circuits listed below for a short to ground. |
| • | Instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit terminal 3 C2 |
| • | Instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit terminal 3 C6 |
- Ignition OFF, connect the (C2) harness connector to the BCM.
- Disconnect the harness connectors at all components fed by the BCM supply voltage circuits listed below.
| • | Instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit terminal 3 C2 |
| • | Instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit terminal 3 C6 |
- Ignition ON, clear the DTC with a scan tool.
- Operate the system within the Conditions for Running the DTC and verify the DTC does not reset.
| ⇒ | If the DTC resets, test the supply voltage circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM. |
- Reconnect each component one at a time and verify that the DTC does not reset.
| ⇒ | If the DTC resets, test or replace the component responsible for setting the DTC. |
