Scheme 2: Diagnostic Test
  1. INTERMITTENT CONDITION Turn the ignition on. Clear all Cluster DTCs. Turn the Courtesy Lamps on. With the Scan Tool, read the Cluster DTCs. Does the Scan Tool read: B161B-COURTESY/DOME LAMP OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND? Yes Go To 2) . No The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. «(Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)»(ref-255944-S31737016002007060500000)
  2. (M24) COURTESY LAMPS DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND Turn the ignition on. Disconnect the Instrument Cluster C3 connector. Measure the resistance of the (M24) Courtesy Lamp Driver circuit to ground. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Repair the (M24) Courtesy lamp Driver circuit for a short to ground. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. «(Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)»(ref-255944-S31737016002007060500000) No Replace the Instrument Cluster in accordance with the service information. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. «(Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)»(ref-255944-S31737016002007060500000)

Scheme 4: Diagnostic Test
  1. INTERMITTENT CONDITION Turn the ignition on. Clear all Cluster DTCs. Turn the Driver Reading Lamps on. With the Scan Tool read the DTC information. Does the Scan Tool read: B161F-READING LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW? Yes Go To 2) . No The condition that caused the symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring for a possible intermittent condition. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST-VER1. «(Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)»(ref-255944-S31737016002007060500000)
  2. (M27) READING/RAIL LAMPS DRIVER Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Cluster C3 harness connector. Measure the resistance between ground and the (M27) Reading/Rail Lamps Driver circuit. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Repair the (M27) Reading/Rail Lamps Driver circuit for a short to ground. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST-VER1. «(Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)»(ref-255944-S31737016002007060500000) No Replace the Cluster in accordance with the service information. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST-VER1. «(Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)»(ref-255944-S31737016002007060500000)
