Inspection and Verification
- Verify the customer concern.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Courtesy lamps Map lamps Luggage compartment lamp Vanity lamps Glove compartment lamp Ambient lighting switch (if equipped) Smart junction box (SJB) fuse 3 (15A) Wiring, terminals or connectors SJB
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
- If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
- If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: Check the VCM connection to the vehicle. Check the scan tool connection to the VCM. Refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-291879) article, No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
- If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle: Verify the ignition key is in the ON position. Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle. Refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-291879) article to diagnose no response from the PCM.
- Carry out the network test. If the scan tool responds with no communication with the SJB, refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-291879) article. If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.
- Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the SJB.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, refer to «MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES»(ref-291878) article.
- If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to «Symptom Chart»(ref-291888-S13352117292008073000000) .

Check the diode circuits between the ambient lighting module, harness side as follows: Connector-Pin/Circuit Connector-Pin/Circuit C3251-5 CLN45 (GN) C3251-4 RLN44 (BN) C3251-6 CLN45 (GN) C3251-4 RLN44 (BN) C3251-7 CLN44 (OG) C3251-4 RLN44 (BN) Does the meter indicate that each circuit is OK? YES : Go to K8 . NO : INSTALL a new ambient lighting harness. TEST the system for normal operation.
- K8 CHECK FOR CORRECT AMBIENT LIGHTING MODULE OPERATION Connect: Ambient Lighting Switch C3250 Disconnect the ambient lighting module connector. Check for: corrosion damaged pins pushed-out pins Connect the ambient lighting module connector and make sure it seats correctly. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present. Is the concern still present? YES : INSTALL a new ambient lighting module. REFER to «Ambient Lighting Module»(ref-291888-S17696883302008073000000) . TEST the system for normal operation. NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
Pinpoint Test L: The Ambient Lighting Does Not Cycle Through All Color Combinations
Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for Fusion, SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for Milan or SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for MKZ, Interior Lamps for schematic and connector information.
| CAUTION | Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector. |
- L1 CHECK THE INPUT FROM CIRCUIT CLN54 (BN/YE) Key in OFF position. Disconnect: Ambient Lighting Module C3251 Key in ON position. While pressing and releasing the ambient lighting switch, measure the voltage between the ambient lighting module C3251-2, circuit CLN54 (BN/YE), harness side and ground. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts with the switch pressed, and 0 volts with the switch released? YES : Go to L2 . NO : If voltage is always present, go to L3 . If no voltage is present, go to L4 .
- L2 CHECK THE AMBIENT LIGHTING HARNESS Key in OFF position. Check the diode circuits between the ambient lighting module, harness side as follows: Connector-Pin/Circuit Connector-Pin/Circuit C3251-5 CLN45 (GN) C3251-4 RLN44 (BN) C3251-6 CLN45 (GN) C3251-4 RLN44 (BN) C3251-7 CLN44 (OG) C3251-4 RLN44 (BN) Does the meter indicate that each circuit is OK? YES : Go to L6 . NO : REPAIR or INSTALL a new ambient lighting harness. TEST the system for normal operation.
- L3 CHECK CIRCUIT CLN54 (BN/YE) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE Key in OFF position. Disconnect: Ambient Lighting Switch C3250 Key in ON position. Measure the voltage between the ambient lighting module C3251-2, circuit CLN54 (BN/YE), harness side and ground. Is any voltage present? YES : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation. NO : INSTALL a new ambient lighting switch. REFER to «Ambient Lighting Switch»(ref-291888-S16199130792008073000000) . TEST the system for normal operation.
- L4 CHECK CIRCUIT CPX07 (GN/RD) FOR AN OPEN (TO THE AMBIENT LIGHTING SWITCH) Key in OFF position. Disconnect: Ambient Lighting Switch C3250 Key in ON position. Measure the voltage between the ambient lighting switch C3250-2, circuit CBX07 (GN/RD), harness side and ground. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? YES : Go to L5 . NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- L5 CHECK THE AMBIENT LIGHTING SWITCH Connect: Ambient Lighting Module C3251 Connect and remove a fused jumper wire between the ambient lighting switch C3250-2, circuit CBX07 (GN/RD), harness side and the ambient lighting switch C3250-6, circuit CLN54 (BN/YE), harness side. Do the ambient lighting LEDs illuminate and cycle through a color change each time the jumper wire is connected and removed? YES : INSTALL a new ambient lighting switch. REFER to «Ambient Lighting Switch»(ref-291888-S16199130792008073000000) . TEST the system for normal operation. NO : REPAIR circuit CLN54 (BN/YE) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation. TEST the system for normal operation.
- L6 CHECK FOR CORRECT AMBIENT LIGHTING MODULE OPERATION Connect: Ambient Lighting Switch C3250 Disconnect the ambient lighting module connector. Check for: corrosion damaged pins pushed-out pins Connect the ambient lighting module connector and make sure it seats correctly. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present. Is the concern still present? YES : INSTALL a new ambient lighting module. REFER to «Ambient Lighting Module»(ref-291888-S17696883302008073000000) . TEST the system for normal operation. NO : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
