Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, headlamp switch to HEAD, vary the interior lamp dimming switch from dim to full bright. The I/P lamps should dim and then become
full bright.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the headlamp and panel dimmer switch.
2. Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ground circuit terminal 8 and B+.
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Dimming Control Signal parameter is less than 0.1 V.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 13 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
4. Ignition ON, test for 12 V between the I/P dimming voltage reference circuit terminal 15 and ground.
瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the BCM.
5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 13 and the voltage reference circuit terminal 15. Verify the scan tool BCM
Dimming Control Signal parameter is greater than 2.6 V.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace
the BCM.
6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the headlamp switch.
