With switch in ON position, continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 2. With switch in OFF position, continuity should not exist between any terminals. If continuity is not as specified, replace personal light fixture. If continuity is as specified, go to next step.
- Check all voltage inputs to body control ECU. See BODY CONTROL ECU under PIN VOLTAGE TESTS. If any voltage inputs are not as specified, repair affected circuit and retest system.

If system still does not work, go to next step.
- Check for faulty wiring between personal light connector and DOME (7.5-amp) fuse (Pink/Blue wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Check for faulty wiring between personal light connector and body control ECU (Green/Red wire) or ground (White/Black wire). Repair as necessary.
