Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 GMC Acadia, 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2011 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the headlamp switch.
- Ignition OFF, verify a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal 8
- If less test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal 15 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Dimming Control Signal parameter is less than 0.2 volts.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 13 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 13 and the B+ circuit terminal 15. Verify the scan tool Dimming Control Signal parameter is greater than 2.5 volts.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the headlamp switch.
