Cell 51: DTC B2617 and B2618 -- Courtesy Lamp Circuit
for wiring diagrams.
The BCM monitors the voltage and controls the ground of the courtesy lamp relay on CKT 690. The BCM will ground the relay and turn ON the courtesy lamps if any of the following conditions exists:
• | The BCM receives a signal from a mini-wedge door jamb switch. |
• | The BCM receives an RFA signal to unlock the doors from the remote door lock receiver module. |
• | The dome lamp switch is turned ON. |
The BCM will set DTC B2617 if the following conditions exist:
• | CKT 690 is open or shorted to ground. |
• | The BCM is not receiving a signal to turn ON the courtesy lamps. |
• | All of the courtesy lamps are displayed as INACTIVE on the scan tool and the courtesy lamps are OFF. |
• | CKT 690 is open or shorted to ground. |
• | The system voltage is between 9.0-16.0 volts. |
• | All of the above conditions exist for 0.5 seconds. |
• | The courtesy lights will not function if the circuit is open. |
• | The courtesy lights will be ON at all times if the circuit is shorted to ground. |
• | A current DTC will clear immediately after the condition that sets the DTC is corrected. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |
• | History and current DTCs may be cleared using a scan tool. |
Important: Use the appropriate probe from the J 35616 connector test adapter kit for any probing of the fuse blocks or relay blocks in this table. Use of the appropriate probe prevents damage to the fuse blocks or relay blocks. |
• | Always perform the first DTC that is listed on the scan tool if more than one is displayed. |
• | Verify that the scan tool displays DTC B2617 as a current code before you perform diagnostics. |
• | Inspect for loose or poor connections at all of the related components. |
• | Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems. |
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
This step determines if CKT 690 is shorted or open between the courtesy lamp relay and the BCM.
This step determines if one of the following conditions exists:
• | The BCM is defective. |
• | CKT 690 is shorted to ground. |
This step determines if the BCM is defective.
This step determines if CKT 690 is open between the body relay block and the BCM harness.
This step determines if one of the following conditions exists:
• | CKT 156 is open between the body relay block and the courtesy lamp relay. |
• | The courtesy lamp relay is defective. |
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
