1. Interior Backlighting Inoperative |
The body control module (BCM) supplies a voltage reference through the instrument panel dimming voltage reference circuit to the interior lamp dimmer switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the dimmer switch is placed in a desired brightness position, reference voltage is applied through the dimmer switch rheostat and the instrument panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets this voltage signal, then applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the instrument panel lamps supply voltage circuit and the LED dimming supply circuit to all related interior lamps, illuminating them to the desired level of brightness.
• | Ignition ON |
• | Park lamps ON |
The BCM detects a voltage that is lower than 11.8 V on the instrument panel dimming voltage reference circuit.
The BCM detects a voltage that is greater than 12.2 V on instrument panel dimming voltage reference circuit.
Interior lights dimming is disabled. All interior lights are at full intensity.
• | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Ignition ON, cover the ambient light sensor. Vary the interior lamp dimming switch from dim to full brightness. The lamps should dim and then become fully bright.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the 12 V reference circuit for short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
