Test 38B - Open Pod Switch Control Circuits
CAUTION:
Always turn ignition off prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
NOTE:
For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION in this article. For appropriate wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS section at the end of this article. Perform TEST VER-1B after each repair.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect Body Control Module (BCM) Natural connector. BCM is located behind left side knee panel. Check condition of connector, and clean or repair connector as necessary. If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of BCM Natural connector terminal No. 10 (Orange/Black wire). Slide dimmer switch slowly between LOW and HIGH positions. If resistance changes from less than 10 ohms to more than 8000 ohms, replace BCM. If resistance does not change from less than 10 ohms to more than 8000 ohms, go to next step.
- Disconnect left pod switch connectors. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Orange/Black wire between BCM Natural connector terminal No. 10 and left pod switch connector terminal No. 1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Orange/Black wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of left pod switch Gray connector terminal No. 1 (Black wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Check resistance of left pod switch Black connector terminal No. 6 (Black wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace left pod switch.
