1. Interior Backlighting Malfunction |
The instrument panel (I/P) lamp 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 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. Ground for the I/P dimmer switch is provided at G201.
• | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
• | Park lamps ON. |
DTC B2652 00 will set for the following conditions:
• | The BCM detects a short to ground in the I/P lamps dimmer switch signal circuit. |
• | The BCM detects a short to ground or an open/high resistance in the DIM fuse B+ circuit. |
The BCM will not DIM or illuminate any I/P lamps supplied by the I/P lamps dimmer switch signal circuit.
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction ignition cycles have occurred. |
