-

1. Interior Accent Light at Full Intensity and Does Not Dim

2. Interior Accent Light do Not Illuminate



Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) uses the ambient light sensor to determine the required brightness of the accent lighting. The BCM applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the accent light LED control circuit which gives during daylight 70%, at night 40% and for welcome lighting 100% illumination. The following LEDs will be illuminated, if equipped:


Accent Lamp - Passenger Door

Accent Lamp - Driver Door

Accent Lamp - Passenger Door Handle

Accent Lamp - Driver Door Handle

Center Console Compartment Lamp

Accent Lamp - Left Rear Door Handle

Accent Lamp - Left Rear Door

Accent Lamp - Right Rear Door Handle

Accent Lamp - Right Rear Door


Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is ON.

The headlamps or park lamps ON.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground on the accent lighting control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM does not attempt to illuminate the accent lighting.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC


The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

When opening the passenger door the ambient illumination should go ON. When closing the driver door and locking the vehicle the accent light illumination should go OFF after 5 s.

Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate inoperative accent light.

2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground of the listed accent lamps:

E1P Accent Lamp - Passenger Door

E1D Accent Lamp - Driver Door

E1M Accent Lamp - Passenger Door Handle

E1C Accent Lamp - Driver Door Handle

E28 Center Console Compartment Lamp

E1E Accent Lamp - Left Rear Door Handle

E1LR Accent Lamp - Left Rear Door

E1F Accent Lamp - Right Rear Door Handle

E1RR Accent Lamp - Right Rear Door

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

4. Exterior lights OFF.

5. Ignition OFF.

6. Close all doors and lock the vehicle, test for less than 0.3 V between control circuit terminal 1 of the appropriate inoperative accent light and ground after 5 s.

7. If greater than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

8. Unlock the vehicle.

9. Open the driver door.

10. Test for greater than 11 V between control circuit terminal 1 of the appropriate inoperative accent light and ground.

11. If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

12. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate inoperative accent light.


Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
