- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate component.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the listed ground circuit terminal and B+.
- Left steering wheel switch terminal 8
- Right steering wheel switch terminal 1
- Multifunction accessory switch terminal 1
- Analog clock terminal 2
- DIC switch terminal 5
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the listed LED dimming control circuit terminal and ground.
- Left steering wheel switch terminal 6
- Right steering wheel switch terminal 2
- Multifunction accessory switch terminal 4
- Analog clock terminal 3
- DIC switch terminal 4
- Radio terminal 8 X1
- Command the dimming test high to low with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn from bright to dim when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always bright, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate component.
