Circuit Description
DTC B2648 (both current and history) indicates a short to battery in the ambient light sensor signal circuit.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
All of the following conditions must be met:
| • | The automatic lighting control (ALC) option is enabled. |
| • | Ignition 1 is active. |
| • | The ambient light sensor analog input is shorted to voltage for 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores DTC B2648 in the body control module (BCM) memory. |
| • | The SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator illuminates. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The BCM goes to sleep and reinitializes with the fault cleared. |
| • | All BCM history codes clear after 100 ignition cycles (from OFF to ON) with no current codes active. |
| • | Clear history and current DTCs using a Scan Tool . |
Diagnostic Aids
If the DTC is a history DTC the problem may be intermittent. Perform the above tests while wiggling the wiring and connectors. This may often cause the malfunction to appear.
