Diagnostic Test

  1. READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR DTC TO RETURN 
    1. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
    2. With the scan tool, run a vehicle Scan Report, or record the Environmental Data related to the DTCs.
    3. With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
    4. Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10 seconds.
    5. Turn the ignition on.
    6. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK FOR DTCS IN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) 
    1. Refer to the saved DTC information recorded on the repair order.

      Were any illumination control or dimmer switch DTCs set in the BCM?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. VERIFY LIGHT OPERATION DURING DIMMER SWITCH ADJUSTMENT 
    1. While monitoring other lights on the dimmer circuit, adjust the dimmer switch from high to low and back.
      NOTE:

      Depending on the vehicle options, this can include the cup holder, fuel door switch, media port and center console lamps.

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Go To  5
  4. CHECK THE (E12) PANEL LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE HEADLAMP SWITCH AND THE IPC 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Headlamp Switch harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the IPC harness connector.
    4. Check the resistance of the (E12) Panel Lamps Driver circuit between the Headlamp Switch harness connector and the IPC harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (E12) Panel Lamps Driver circuit for an open.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  5. CHECK THE (E12) PANEL LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Headlamp Switch harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the IPC harness connector.
    4. Check the resistance of the (E12) Panel Lamps Driver circuit between the Headlamp Switch harness connector and the IPC harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (E12) Panel Lamps Driver circuit for an open.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Replace the Headlamp Dimmer Switch in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  6. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR DTC TO RETURN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect all IPC harness connectors.
    3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    6. Reconnect all IPC harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    9. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    10. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    11. With the scan tool, read IPC DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Repairing the wiring or connectors corrected the condition.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
