Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes | GO to B5 |
|---|---|
No | REPAIR the circuit in question. |
B4 CHECK THE BACKLIGHTING ILLUMINATION OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Ignition OFF. Disconnect Headlamp switch. Disconnect BCM C2280B. Measure:
Click to display connectors
Positive Lead | Measurement / Action | Negative Lead |
|---|---|---|
C205-15 | Ground |
Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes | GO to B5 |
|---|---|
No | REPAIR the circuit in question. |
B5 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors. Repair:
corrosion (install new connector or terminals — clean module pins) damaged or bent pins — install new terminals/pins pushed-out pins — install new pins as necessary
Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes | CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for thei concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no TSB address this concern, Click here to access Guided Routine (BCM).. |
|---|---|
No | The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. |
One Or More Non-Networked Illumination Components Are Inoperative
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 71 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The dimmer switch is integral to the headlamp switch and provides a corresponding voltage signal to the BCM based on which switch is pressed (dim up or dim down).
