Circuit/System Testing |
Reading Lamps Circuit Malfunction
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate reading lamp.
|
• |
E37A Dome/Reading Lamps harness connector X8
|
• |
E37B Dome/Reading Lamps - 2nd Row harness connector X1
|
2. |
Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
|
3. |
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
4. |
Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the 12 V circuit terminal 1 and the ground circuit terminal 6.
|
5. |
If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
|
6. |
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inoperative reading lamp bulb or reading lamp.
