Interior Lights Malfunction

The interior light which is located on the dome/reading lamps module and accent lamps are controlled by the body control module (BCM). Inputs from the interior light switch and the door ajar switches are monitored by the BCM. When a door ajar switch is closed, or the interior light switch is turned to the ON position, the BCM supplies the B+ for the dome and courtesy lamps.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, cycle the Dome/Reading Lamps switch in all positions, observe the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter. The parameter should change between Door, Cancel and On.

⇒	If the parameter does not change, refer to Dome Lamp Switch Malfunction.

2. Ignition OFF, open driver door, the dome and accent lamps should go ON.

⇒	If the dome and courtesy lamps stay OFF, refer to Interior light Malfunction.

Dome Lamp Switch Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the wiring harness plug at the E36AH Interior light.
2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the C1 Battery.
3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

4. Reconnect the negative terminal to the C1 Battery.
5. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is Door.

⇒	If the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is Cancel, test the dome lamp defeat signal circuit terminal 4 for short circuit to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

⇒	If the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is On, test the dome lamp on signal circuit terminal 5 for short circuit to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the dome defeat signal circuit terminal 4 and the ground circuit terminal 6. Verify the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is Cancel.

⇒	If not the specified state, test the dome lamp defeat signal circuit for short circuit to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

7. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the dome lamp on signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 6. Verify the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is On.

⇒	If not the specified state, test the dome defeat signal circuit for short circuit to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the E36AH Interior light.

Interior light Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the E36AH Dome Lamp.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and the ground circuit terminal 6.
4. Command the Courtesy Lamps ON and OFF with the scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

⇒	If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

⇒	If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the E36AH Interior light.
