Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage for the courtesy lamps is supplied at all times to the body control module (BCM). When the BCM receives a signal to command the courtesy lamps ON, it then applies voltage through the dome/courtesy lamps control circuit to the courtesy lamps listed below.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Observe the driver information center while opening and closing each vehicle door. The driver information center should display the door ajar message only when the door is open.

2. If the driver information center displays the door ajar message when a door is closed, refer to Door Ajar Indicator Malfunction .

3. If the door ajar is functioning normal, refer to Courtesy Lamp Circuit Malfunction.

4. Ignition ON, cycle the Dome/Reading Lamps switch in all positions, observe the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter. The parameter should change between Door, Cancel and On.

5. If the parameter does not change, refer to Dome Lamps Malfunction .


Circuit/System Testing


Courtesy Lamp Circuit Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate inoperative backlighting component.

2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the black wire of the component 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 of the component grey wire and ground.

5. Command the Courtesy Lamps Dimming ON and OFF with a scan tool.

6. If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

7. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

8. If all circuit test normal, test or replace the appropriate inoperative component.



Sunroof Console Dome Lamp Switch Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E37F Dome/Reading Lamps - Front.

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, verify the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is Door.

5. If the scan tool Dome Lamp Switch parameter is Cancel, test the dome lamp defeat signal circuit terminal 4 for short circuit to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

6. If the scan tool Dome Lamp Switch parameter is On, test the dome lamp on signal circuit terminal 5 for short circuit to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

7. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the dome defeat signal circuit terminal 4 and the ground circuit terminal 6. Verify the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is Cancel.

8. If not the specified state, test the dome lamp defeat signal circuit for short circuit to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

9. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the dome lamp on signal circuit terminal 5 and the ground circuit terminal 6. Verify the scan tool Interior/Courtesy Lighting Master Switch parameter is On.

10. If not the specified state, test the dome lamp on signal circuit for short circuit to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

11. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the E37F Dome/Reading Lamps - Front.
