Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Buick Lucerne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clear the DTC. Disconnect all the inadvertent power courtesy lamps related components. Refer to the circuit/system verification for all components that contain the inadvertent power courtesy lamps. Verify the DTC B1480 does not set.
    • If the DTC resets then test for a short to ground in the inadvertent power courtesy lamps circuit. If the circuit/connections test normal replace the BCM.
  2. Reconnect each component one at a time and test for the DTC B1480. If the DTC resets then replace that component.
