2. Interior Accent Lighting Always ON
|
Circuit/System Description
|
The body control module (BCM) uses the ambient light sensor to determine which brightness of the accent lamps is needed. The BCM provides B+ voltage to the individual accent lamps via the accent lamps control circuit.

Circuit/System Verification
|
Ignition ON, command the Accent Lighting ON and OFF with a scan tool. The accent lighting should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
1.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate E1 accent lamp.
|
2.
|
Test for less than 5.0 Ω between the ground circuit terminal and ground.
|
3.
|
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
4.
|
Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal and ground.
|
5.
|
Ignition ON, command the Accent Lighting ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
|
6.
|
If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
|
7.
|
If 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 K9 BCM.
|
8.
|
If all circuits test normal, replace the E1 accent lamp.
