Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel (I/P) dimmer switch is used to increase and decrease the brightness of the interior backlighting components. The I/P dimmer switch provides a voltage signal that will increase as the brightness of the lights are increased and decrease as the brightness of the lights are decreased. The body control module (BCM) provides a low reference signal and a B+ voltage reference to the I/P dimmer switch. When the I/P dimmer switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the I/P dimmer switch through the I/P dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and applies the dimmed voltage to the I/P lamps supply voltage circuit and the interior backlighting components dim to the requested level.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Park Lamps are ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B2625 00 will set when the BCM detects a short to ground in the LED indicator dimming control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
When DTC B2625 00 is present, the BCM will not illuminate the LEDs supplied by the LED indicator dimming control circuit.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |
| • | The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative component.
- Connect a test lamp between the listed indicator dimming control circuit terminal and ground.
- Command the LED Dimming test high to low with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn from bright to dim when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inoperative component.

| • | Transfer Case Shift Control Switch terminal 4 |
| • | Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch terminal 11 |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always bright, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
| • | Refer to the appropriate replacement procedure for the component causing the condition. |
