- If the test lamp is always ON, test the relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the park lamp relay.
