Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the I/P Dimmer switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, scan tool OFF, test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal D and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, park lamps ON, test for B+ between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and the low reference circuit terminal D. Verify the scan tool IP Dimmer Switch parameter is less than B+.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the I/P dimmer switch.
