Circuit/system Description
The INT LIGHT fuse supplies battery voltage to the inadvertent load control relay located in the body control module (BCM). The BCM applies ground to the inadvertent relay control circuit which energizes the inadvertent load control relay coil. With the relay coil energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow from the INT LIGHT fuse to the inside rearview mirror lamps through the inside rearview mirror lamps supply voltage circuit. The inside rearview mirror lamps are controlled by a 3 position (OFF, DOOR, ON) switch. When the inside rearview mirror switch is placed in the DOOR position, the lamps are controlled by the BCM by grounding the courtesy lamp control circuit. When any door is opened, the jam switch contacts close and the BCM receives a door-open input. If the BCM receives a door lock or unlock input, the BCM will activate the inadvertent relay control circuit, providing battery voltage to the inside rearview mirror lamps. The BCM also provides ground to the inside rearview mirror lamps through the courtesy lamp control circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B1480 will set when the courtesy lamps voltage supply circuit is shorted to ground for 1 second or greater.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
The courtesy lamps will not operate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/system Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inside rearview mirror.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the appropriate control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the inside rearview mirror.
