WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Chevrolet Trax and 2016 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the components listed below.
- E37A Dome/Reading Lamps
- E36AH Dome Lamp
- A3L Sunshade - Left
- A3R Sunshade - Right

- If the test lamp is always OFF
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X7 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
  - If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
  - If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
  - If less than 2 Ω, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X7 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
  - If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
  - If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
