Voltage for the interior backlighting components and stop lamp switch activation signal is supplied from the body control module (BCM). The BCM applies a voltage reference through the instrument panel (I/P) dimming voltage reference circuit to the interior lamp dimming switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the dimming switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the interior lamp dimming switch through the I/P dimming control circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies the dimmed voltage to the I/P lamps supply voltage circuit and they dim to the correct level.
The stop lamp switch is also supplied voltage on the same circuit for a stop lamp OFF signal to the BCM. When the stop lamp switch is activated the voltage signal circuit to the BCM is opened prompting the BCM to illuminate the stop lamps.
• | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
• | Ignition must be ON. |
The BCM detects a voltage that is lower than 0.33 volt on the I/P dimming voltage reference circuit.
The BCM detects a voltage that is greater than 4.97 volts on I/P dimming voltage reference circuit.
• | The I/P lamps are dim or not illuminated. |
• | The I/P lamps will not dim. |
• | The stop lamps are always ON. |
• | The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |
• | The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |

⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 13 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
