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 through the instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit illuminating the components listed below:
| • | Headlamp switch |
| • | Instrument panel cluster (IPC) |
| • | Driver and passenger window switches |
| • | Driver and passenger door lock switches |
| • | Outside rearview mirror switch |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The headlamps or park lamps ON. |
The BCM detects a short to ground on the instrument panel lamps supply voltage circuit.
The BCM does not attempt to illuminate the instrument panel lamps.
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Ignition ON, park lamps ON, adjust the dimmer switch from dim to full bright. The I/P lamps should dim and then become full bright.
| ⇒ | 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. |

| ⇒ | If the DTC resets, test the instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the DTC resets as current, test or replace the component responsible for setting the DTC. |
