Symptoms - Lighting Systems

IMPORTANTThe following steps must be completed before using a symptom table.
  1. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(/cadillac/sts/i-2004-2007/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-dtc-information) in Vehicle DTC Information before using a symptom table in order to verify that all of the following are true: There are no DTCs set. The control modules can communicate via the GMLAN serial data circuit.
  2. Review the system description and operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to the following: «Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation»(/cadillac/sts/i-2004-2007/remont/exterior-lights/#lighting-systems-introduction) «Interior Lighting Systems Description and Operation»(/cadillac/sts/i-2004-2007/remont/exterior-lights/#lighting-systems-introduction)

Visual/Physical Inspection

  1. Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the lighting system. Refer to «Checking Aftermarket Accessories»(/cadillac/sts/i-2004-2007/remont/body-electrical/#wiring-systems-electrical-power-management-introduction__checking-aftermarket-accessories) in Wiring Systems.
  2. Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.

Intermittent

Thoroughly inspect the wiring and connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis causing part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
