- Turn the ignition on. With the DRBIII®, clear all BCM DTC's. Turn the Dome Lamps on. With the DRBIII®, read the DTC information. If the DRBIII® reads: Dome Lamp Output Short, go to the next step. If the DRBIII® does not read: Dome Lamp Output Short, the condition that caused the symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring for a possible intermittent condition. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the dome/rail lamp assembly switch. Measure the resistance of the dome lamp circuit in the assembly switch. If the resistance is below 5 ohms, replace the dome/rail lamp assembly switch. If the resistance is above 5 ohms, go to the next step.
- Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Body Control Module C2 harness connector. See Figure. Measure the resistance of the Dome Circuit in the C2 connector. If the resistance is below 5 ohms, replace the Body Control Module. See BODY CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If the resistance is above 5 ohms, repair the dome circuit for a short condition.
