Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clear the DTC.
  2. Use a scan tool to monitor the Dimming Control Reference Signal data parameter in the BCM data list.
    • If less than 0.33 volt, test the I/P dimming voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance and test the stop lamp signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the BCM.
    • If greater than 4.97 volts, test the I/P dimming voltage reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the BCM.
  3. If the voltage is correct and all circuits/connections test normal, replace the headlamp switch.
