Test 5B - Repairing PRKNG Lamp SW Output CKT For Short To GND

NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For wiring diagrams, see WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Perform TEST VER-1 after each repair.
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting any module connector.
NOTE: Low battery or momentary Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus failure may cause trouble codes to set.
  1. Using DRB, erase trouble codes. Start and run engine for 2 minutes. Turn engine off. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using DRB, read Body Control Module (BCM) codes. If PANEL LAMP PWM OUTPUT FAILURE trouble code does not return, system is operating properly at this time. If PANEL LAMP PWM OUTPUT FAILURE returns, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect Body Control Module (BCM) connector. BCM is located in behind right kick panel. Using DRB in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace BCM. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  3. Disconnect headlamp switch connector. Check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace headlamp switch. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect radio connector. Check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace radio. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  5. Disconnect Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) head connector. ATC head connector is located behind A/C-heater control panel. Using DRB in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM Gray connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace ATC head. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  6. Disconnect manual A/C climate control head connector. Manual A/C climate control head is located behind A/C-heater control panel. Using DRB in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM connector terminal No. 8 (Orange wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace manual A/C climate control head. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Orange wire.
