Circuit/System Testing

Note: Each back lighted component may need to be disconnect to isolate a short to voltage or short to ground. Use the schematic to identify

the following:

* Back lighted components the vehicle is equipped with.

* Component locations on the back lighting dimming control circuit.

* Each components control and ground circuits terminals.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at any component with inoperative backlighting.

2. Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, interior lamps OFF, doors CLOSED, test for less than 5 ohm between the ground circuit and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit and ground.

4. Command the Incandescent Dimming ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the

commanded states.

瀚慖f the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace

the BCM.

瀚慖f the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the component with the inoperative backlighting.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Refer to the appropriate replacement procedure for the component causing the condition.
