Circuit/System Description
Battery voltage is applied at all times to the coil and switch sides of the PRK LAMPS relay located in the underhood fuse block. Ground is applied at G300 to the turn signal/multifunction switch at all times. When the headlamp switch is placed in either the HEAD or PARK position, ground is applied to the park lamp switch on signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM reacts to the signal from the park lamp switch by applying ground to the park lamp relay control circuit. This energizes the park lamp relay allowing voltage flows through the PRK LAMPS fuse through the switch contacts of the relay to all park, tail, license, and side marker lamps. Ground for the front park and side marker lamps is supplied at G101 for the left and G102 for the right. Ground for the license and right rear tail lamps is supplied at G402, and the left rear tail lamps at G400.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool park lamp switch parameter while cycling the park lamp switch between the ON and OFF positions. The readings should toggle between ACTIVE and INACTIVE.
| ⇒ | If the readings do not change between the commanded states, refer to Park Lamp Switch Malfunction. |
Circuit/System Testing
Park Lamp Switch Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool park lamp switch parameter is INACTIVE.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground. Verify the scan tool park lamp switch parameter is ACTIVE.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Park, License, Marker, and/or Tail Lamps Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the park lamp relay.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the relay controlled switched output circuit and ground.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay switch B+ circuit and ground.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil B+ circuit and ground.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative park lamp.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the inoperative park lamp ground circuit and ground
- Connect the harness connector at the inoperative park lamp.
- Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the relay switch B+ circuit and the relay controlled switched output circuit. Verify the park lamps are activated.
- Connect a test lamp between the relay coil B+ circuit and the relay coil control circuit.
- Command the parks lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the park lamp relay.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay switch B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the relay controlled switched output circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the park lamp relay. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay coil B+ circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the park lamps do not activate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the inoperative park lamp. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
