When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the radio VF display turns ON at maximum brightness. When the park lamps are ON, all incandescent and LED back lighting turn ON at the dimming level indicated by the instrument panel (I/P) dimmer switch. At the same time all VF displays dim to match the indicated dimming level. The panel dimmer switch potentiometer is an input to the body control module (BCM). When the driver selects a dimming setting by moving the I/P dimming switch potentiometer, all incandescent back lighting lamps are provided with a specific voltage. When the I/P dimmer switch is moved from MIN to MAX, all VF displays, as well as all incandescent back lighting respond from minimum intensity to maximum brightness in response to the I/P dimmer switch

⇒ | If the backlighting does not turn ON and OFF or remains always ON, replace the driver door lock and side window switch. |
⇒ | If the backlighting does not turn ON and OFF or remains always ON, refer to Front Door Switch Backlighting Malfunction. |
⇒ | If the backlighting does not turn ON and OFF or always remains ON, replace the passenger door lock and side window switch. |
⇒ | If the backlighting does not turn ON and OFF or remains always ON, refer to Front Door Switch Backlighting Malfunction. |
⇒ | If the reading does not change, refer to Dimmer Switch Malfunction. |
⇒ | If the scan tool dimmer control operates normal, refer to the Interior Backlighting Circuit Test or the LED Dimming Malfunction. |
⇒ | 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. |
