1. Interior Backlighting Malfunction 2. Interior Backlighting Switch Malfunction |
The body control module (BCM) receives a variable voltage signal from the instrument panel (I/P) dimmer switch requesting to illuminate the I/P controls illumination lamps to a desired intensity. When this occurs, the BCM directly sends a variable voltage based on the I/P dimmer switch position through the I/P lamps supply voltage circuit to the I/P controls illumination lamps.
The battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
When the BCM receives an I/P controls illumination lamp request signal and the I/P lamps supply voltage circuit is shorted to ground.
When the BCM is not receiving an I/P controls illumination lamp request signal and the I/P lamps supply voltage circuit is shorted to voltage.
The I/P controls illumination lamps will not operate or are always on.
• | 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. |
