The body control module (BCM) controls the illumination dimming of all of the control switch indicators. The BCM will set the control switch indicator illumination level according to the IP dimmer switch signal received when the component is activated and the indicator is ON.
The battery voltage must be between 9.0-16.0 volts.
• | The LED dimming signal circuit is open. |
• | The LED dimming signal circuit is shorted to ground. |
• | The LED dimming signal circuit is shorted to voltage. |
• | There is a loss of the rear fuse block TBC 5 battery supply voltage to the BCM for more than 1 second. |
The control switch indicators will not operate or will not dim.
• | This DTC will clear on current status after the condition for setting the fault is corrected. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |
• | History and current DTC(s) can be cleared using a scan tool. |
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
Tests for an open in the TBC 5 battery positive voltage supply circuit within the body wiring harness extension harness.
Tests for voltage at the LED dimming signal circuit.
Tests for voltage at the LED dimming signal circuit when the headlamp switch is in the OFF position.
After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.

Does the control switch indicator lamp respond to the scan tool output control? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 |
Test the TBC 5 battery positive supply voltage circuit of the body wiring harness extension harness for continuity. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems. Is continuity present? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 7 | |
Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 9 | |
Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 8 | |
6 | Test the LED dimming signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 8 |
7 | Inspect for poor connections at the body wiring harness extension harness connectors. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 10 |
8 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 11 |
9 | Repair the open, high resistance or short to ground in the LED dimming signal circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 12 | -- |
10 | Replace the body wiring harness extension harness to the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Body Wiring Harness Extension Harness Replacement in Body Control System. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 12 | -- |
Important: Perform the setup procedure for the BCM. Replace the body control module (BCM). Refer to Body Control Module Replacement in Body Control System. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 12 | -- | |
