DTC Descriptor

DTC B2652 00
- Passenger Compartment Dimming 3

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) applies a 12-volt reference voltage through the headlamp and panel dimmer switch 12-volt reference circuit to the headlamp and panel dimmer switch. When the dimming switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the headlamp and panel dimmer switch through the instrument panel (I/P) lamp dimming switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies the dimmed voltage to the I/P lamp dimming control circuit and the components on the circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM receives an open, voltage, or ground signal on the I/P lamp dimming control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The I/P lamps are not illuminated.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
* A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON and park lamps ON, vary the headlamp and panel dimmer switch from dim to full bright. The I/P lamps should dim and then become full bright.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the affected component.
2. Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the listed ground circuit terminal and battery voltage.

* Headlamp Switch terminal 8
* Sunroof switch terminal 5
* Front door lock switch w/o AN3 terminal B
* Driver window switch w/o AN3 terminal A X2
* Front passenger window switch w/o AN3 terminal F
* OSRVM switch w/o AN3 terminal G
* Transfer case shift control switch terminal 6
* Roof beacon switch terminal 1
* Sliding rear window switch terminal D
* Rear window switch terminal F

^ If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the listed backlighting control circuit terminal and ground.

* Headlamp Switch terminal 7
* Sunroof switch terminal 3
* Front door lock switch w/o AN3 terminal A
* Driver window switch w/o AN3 terminal 1 X1
* Front passenger window switch w/o AN3 terminal B
* OSRVM switch w/o AN3 terminal E
* Transfer case shift control switch terminal 5
* Roof beacon switch terminal 2
* Sliding rear window switch terminal E
* Rear window switch terminal B

4. Command the dimming test high to low with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn from bright to dim when changing between the commanded states.

^ If the test lamp is always off, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

^ If the test lamp is always bright, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the affected component.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests

* Refer to the appropriate replacement procedure for the component causing the condition.
