1. Interior backlighting at full Intensity and cannot be dimmed

2. Interior backlighting do not Illuminate



Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) supplies a reference voltage to the backlight dimmer switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the backlight dimmer switch is placed in a desired brightness position, reference voltage is applied through the backlight dimmer switch rheostat to the BCM. The BCM interprets this voltage signal, then applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the backlight lamp control circuit, and the LED dimming control circuit illuminating the LEDs and the components listed below, if equipped:


Heated Seat Control Module - Driver

Dome/Reading Lamps

Dome/Reading Lamps - Row

Sunroof Switch

Sunroof Sunshade Switch

Rear Window Sunshade Switch

Sunroof Ventilation Switch

Intrusion Sensor Defeat Switch

Outside Rearview Mirror Switch

Window Switch - Driver

Rear Compartment Lid Release Switch - Interior

Window Switch - Passenger

Window Switch - Left Rear

Window Switch - Right Rear

Steering Wheel Control Switch

Headlamp Switch

Park Brake Control Switch

Ignition Mode Switch

Multifunction Switch - Instrument Panel 2

Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Left

Steering Wheel Controls Switch - Right


Conditions for Running the DTC


The ignition is ON.

The headlamps or park lamps ON.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground on the LED backlight lamp control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will not dim or illuminate any LED backlighting supplied by the backlight lamp control circuits.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC


The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, command the LED Backlight Dimming test with a scan tool. The illumination should be ON/OFF.

Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition OFF, interior light switched OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate inoperative backlighting component.

2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the black wire of the appropriate component and ground.

3. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

4. Connect a test lamp between the yellow wire of the appropriate component and ground.

5. Command with the scan tool the LED Backlight Dimming test the illumination ON/OFF.

6. If the test lamp cannot be dimmed test the control circuit for a short to voltage or replace the K9 Body Control Module.

7. If the test lamp do not emit at all test the control circuit for open/high resistance or replace the K9 Body Control Module.

8. If all circuit test normal, test or replace the appropriate inoperative backlighting component.
