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 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 |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | 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, park lamps ON, adjust the dimmer 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.
- Ignition OFF, connect the C2 harness connector at the BCM.
- Disconnect all of the instrument panel lamp components fed by the BCM instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuits listed below.
- 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.
- Reconnect each component one at a time and verify that the DTC does not reset as current.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
| • | Terminal 3 C2 |
| - | Headlamp Switch |
| - | Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) |
| • | Terminal 3 C6 |
| - | Driver Window Switch |
| - | Driver Door Lock Switch |
| - | Outside Rearview Mirror Switch |
| - | Passenger Window Switch |
| - | Passenger Door Lock Switch |
| ⇒ | If the DTC resets, test the supply voltage circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the DTC resets as current, test or replace the component responsible for setting the DTC. |
