Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2006 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the (C2) harness connector at the BCM.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the supply voltage circuits listed below for a short to ground.
Scan Tool Reference
- Instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit terminal 3 C2
- Instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit terminal 3 C6
- Ignition OFF, disconnect all of the instrument panel lamp components fed by the BCM supply voltage circuits listed below.
- Instrument panel supply voltage circuit -terminal 3 C2
- Instrument panel supply voltage circuit -terminal 3 C6
- Ignition ON, with a scan tool clear the DTC.
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC and verify the DTC does not reset.
- If the DTC resets, test the instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the BCM.
- Reconnect each component one at a time and verify that the DTC does not reset as current.
- If the DTC resets as current, test or replace the component responsible for setting the DTC.
