Dimmer Switch Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the headlamp switch connector.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and B+.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool dimming Potentiometer Parameter displays greater than 4 volts.
- If the parameter displays less than the specified value, test the switch signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 14 and the low reference circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool dimming Potentiometer Parameter displays less than 1 volt.
- If the parameter displays greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the circuits test normal, test or replace the headlamp switch.
