WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X5 at the BCM.
- Ignition ON, verify the center high mount stop lamp is not on.
- If the center high mount stop lamp is on, test the CHMSL relay control circuit terminal 5 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the underhood fuse block.
- Install a 10A fused jumper wire between the CHMSL relay control circuit terminal 5 and B+. Verify the center high mount stop lamp is on.
- If the center high mount stop lamp is not on or the fuse in the jumper wire opens, test the CHMSL relay control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the underhood fuse block.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
