Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
I/P Dimming Voltage Reference Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the I/P Dimmer switch.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal 10.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for B+ between the I/P dimming voltage reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the I/P dimmer switch.
I/P Lamps Dimmer Switch Signal Malfunction
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C2 harness connector at the BCM.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the BCM 7 fuse voltage supply circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Reconnect the C2 harness connector at the BCM.
- Ignition ON, with a scan tool clear all DTCs.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the following components:
- Hazard switch
- Power window switch - LR
- Power window switch - RR
- PRNDL lamp
- Front sunroof switch
- Rear HVAC switch - front
- Rear HVAC switch - rear
- Rear sunroof sunshade switch
- Rear wiper switch
- Steering wheel controls
- Tow/haul switch
- Traction control switch
- Ignition ON, operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC and verify the DTC does not reset.
- If the DTC resets, test the I/P lamps dimmer switch signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
- Reconnect each component one at a time and verify that the DTC does not reset as current.
- If the DTC resets as current, test or replace the component responsible for setting the DTC.
