When the Body Control Module (BCM) receives a class 2 message from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) requesting to illuminate the backup lamps, battery voltage is sent directly from the BCM through the backup lamp supply voltage circuit to the backup lamps.
The battery voltage must be between 9.0-16.0 volts.
• | When the BCM receives a backup lamp request signal and the backup lamp supply voltage circuit is shorted to ground. |
• | When the BCM is not receiving a backup lamp request signal and the backup lamp supply voltage circuit is open or shorted to voltage. |
The backup lamps will not operate.
• | 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. |
Perform a visual inspection for loose or poor connections at all related components. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
This step test determines if the problem exists in the wiring or the BCM.
After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.

1 | Did you perform the Lighting System Diagnostic System Check? | Go to Step 2 | |
Test the following circuits as indicated. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 3 | |
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 4 | -- | |
