Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition ON and clear the DTC. Use the scan tool Incandescent Dimming output control to adjust the dimming level of the I/P lamps from low to high.
- If the lamps cannot be controlled with the scan tool, replace the BCM.
- Monitor the Dimming Control Signal voltage parameter in the scan tool BCM data list while adjusting the dimmer switch from high to low.
- If the voltage is above 4.97 volts, test for a short to voltage in the I/P lamp dimmer switch signal circuit.
- If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the headlamp and panel dimmer switch.
- If the voltage drops below 0.10 volt, test for a short to ground, open, or high resistance in the I/P lamp dimmer switch signal circuit.
- If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the headlamp and panel dimmer switch.
