B282E-15
B282E-15-DRIVER PUDDLE LAMP CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY OR OPEN
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
- When Monitored:
Continuously.
- Set Condition:
The Door Module senses a short high or an open on the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit for more than two seconds with the lamp switched on.
1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using a scan tool, record and erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
3. Turn the turn signal on, if equipped with turn signal mirror.
4. Turn the puddle lamps on. NOTE: Verify the panel lamps dimmer switch is not in the defeat (off) position.
5. Turn the rear defogger on, if equipped with heated mirror.
6. Press and release the Mirror Select switch to select the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror.
7. Operate the Mirror Adjust switch in all directions several times while monitoring the scan tool for DTCs. NOTE: After adjusting the mirror in one direction wait at least two seconds before adjusting the mirror in the opposite direction, as this will allow time for an active fault to set if present.
Does the scan tool display as active: B282E-15-DRIVER PUDDLE LAMP CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY OR OPEN?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. For vehicle's equipped with folding outside rearview mirrors, repeat test with mirror folded. If DTC is now active, Go To 2. Otherwise, using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and poor pin fit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
2. CHECK (M41) DRIVER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect Driver Outside Rearview Mirror C1 (Component Side) connector from the Door Module C1 connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage of the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit between the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror C1 (Component Side) connector and ground.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit for a short to voltage. If the wiring harness and connector are okay, replace the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror. Outside Rearview Mirror - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
No
- Go To 3
3. CHECK (M41) DRIVER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT AND (P591) DRIVER MIRROR TURN SIGNAL/PUDDLE LAMP RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror C2 (Component Side) connector from the Door Module C2 connector.
NOTE: The Ohmmeter positive lead must be connected to the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the negative lead to the (P591) Driver Mirror Turn Signal/Puddle Lamp Return circuit for the test results to be valid.
3. Measure the resistance between the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P591) Driver Mirror Turn Signal/Puddle Lamp Return circuit at the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror C1 & C2 (Component Side) connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit or the (P591) Driver Mirror Turn Signal/Puddle Lamp Return circuit for an open. If the wiring harness and connector are okay, replace the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror. Outside Rearview Mirror - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
No
- Go To 4
4. CHECK (M41) DRIVER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO A DRIVER MIRROR DRIVER CIRCUIT
1. Measure the resistance between the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and each of the Driver Mirror Driver circuits
Is the resistance below 10K Ohms for any measurement?
Yes
- Repair all circuits with a resistance below 10K Ohms for a short to the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit. If the wiring harness and connector are okay, replace the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror. Outside Rearview Mirror - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
No
- Go To 5
5. CHECK (M41) DRIVER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (C16) DRIVER MIRROR HEATER DRIVER CIRCUIT OR TO THE (P501) DRIVER MIRROR TURN SIGNAL DRIVER CIRCUIT
1. For Heated Mirror, measure the resistance between the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (C16) Driver Mirror Heater Driver circuit at the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror C1 and C2 (Component Side) connectors.
2. For Turn Signal Mirror, measure the resistance between the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P501) Driver Mirror Turn Signal Driver circuit at the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror C1 and C2 (Component Side) connectors.
Is the resistance below 10K Ohms for either measurement?
Yes
- Repair all circuits with a resistance below 10K Ohms for a short to the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit. If the wiring harness and connector are okay, replace the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror. Outside Rearview Mirror - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
No
- Go To 6
6. CHECK (M41) DRIVER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (P711) DRIVER BLIND SPOT DRIVER CIRCUIT
1. Measure the resistance between the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P711) Driver Blind Spot Signal Driver circuit at the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror C1 (Component Side) connector.
Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the short between the (M41) Driver Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P711) Driver Blind Spot Signal Driver circuit. If the wiring harness and connector are okay, replace the Driver Outside Rearview Mirror. Outside Rearview Mirror - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
No
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage and repair as necessary. If the wiring and connectors are okay, replace the Door Module. Body Verification Test.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
