COURTESY AND READING LAMP CIRCUITS

CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTION
A SINGLE LAMP IN THE COURTESY LAMP CIRCUIT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE1. Ineffective or missing bulb or Light Emitting Diode (LED) unit.1. Test and replace the lamp bulb or LED unit if required.
2. Ineffective lamp switch.2. Test and replace a dome/reading lamp switch, glove box lamp switch or vanity lamp switch if required.
3. Ineffective ground circuit.3. Test and repair the open ground circuit if required.
4. Ineffective feed circuit.4. Test and repair the open feed circuit if required.
ALL LAMPS IN THE COURTESY LAMP CIRCUIT DO NOT ILLUMINATE1. Courtesy DEFEAT feature turned ON.1. Turn courtesy DEFEAT feature OFF.
2. Ineffective ground circuit.2. Test and repair the open ground circuit if required.
3. Ineffective or missing fuse.3. Test and replace the fuse if required.
4. Ineffective courtesy lamp control circuit.4. Test and repair the courtesy lamp control circuit if required.
5. Ineffective left multi-function switch.5. Test and replace the left multi-function switch if required.
6. Ineffective ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) inputs or outputs.6. Use a diagnostic scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information for further EMIC diagnosis.
7. Ineffective Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) inputs or outputs.7. Use a diagnostic scan tool to test the TIPM inputs and outputs. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
A SINGLE LAMP IN THE COURTESY LAMP CIRCUIT DOES NOT EXTINGUISH1. Ineffective lamp switch.1. Test and replace a console storage bin lamp switch, dome/reading lamp switch, glove box lamp switch or vanity lamp switch if required.
ALL LAMPS IN THE COURTESY LAMP CIRCUIT DO NOT EXTINGUISH1. Ineffective ajar switch.1. Test and replace a door ajar or deck lid ajar switch if required.
2. Ineffective ajar switch sense circuit.2. Test and repair the shorted ajar switch sense circuit if required.
3. Ineffective EMIC inputs or outputs.3. Use a diagnostic scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information for further EMIC diagnosis.
4. Ineffective TIPM inputs or outputs.4. Use a diagnostic scan tool to test the TIPM inputs and outputs. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

PANEL LAMPS DIMMER CIRCUIT

Note. As part of the exterior lighting failsafe feature, upon ignition ON all of the panel lamps dimmer circuit lamps will illuminate at full intensity and the exterior park lamps and headlamp low beams will illuminate regardless of the headlamp switch position if the instrument cluster cannot detect an input from the headlamp switch, or if there is a loss of data bus communication.
