2010 Cadillac Truck Escalade EXT AWD V8-6.2L Page 786
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground in the CHMSL supply voltage circuit when the stop lamps are commanded ON.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The CHMSL will not illuminate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
* A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.
* The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the center high mounted stop lamp.
2. Test for less than 5.0 ohm between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Connect a test lamp between the stop lamp control circuit terminal A and ground circuit terminal B.
4. Ignition ON, press and release the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
瀚慖f the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
瀚慖f the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace
the BCM.
5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the center high mounted stop lamp.
