B282F-15-PASSENGER 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 (M42) Passenger 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. With a scan tool, record and erase 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 Passenger 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 B282F-15-PASSENGER PUDDLE LAMP CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY OR OPEN?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. 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 correct pin tension. For vehicle's equipped with folding outside rearview mirrors, repeat test with mirror folded. If DTC is now active, Go To 2.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. CHECK (M42) PASSENGER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror C1 (Component Side) harness connector from the Door Module.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage between the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and ground.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the short to voltage in the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit. If the wiring harness and harness connector are okay, replace the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK (M42) PASSENGER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT AND (P592) PASSENGER PUDDLE LAMP RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN




1. Turn the ignition off.

NOTE: The Ohmmeter positive lead must be connected to the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the negative lead to the (P592) Passenger Puddle Lamp Return circuit for the test results to be valid.

2. Measure the resistance between the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P592) Passenger Puddle Lamp Return circuit.

Is the resistance above 1000 Ohms?

Yes

- Repair the open in the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit or the (P592) Passenger Puddle Lamp Return circuit. If the wiring harness and harness connector are okay, replace the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 4

4. CHECK (M42) PASSENGER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (P72) PASSENGER MIRROR VERTICAL DRIVER CIRCUIT, (P70) PASSENGER MIRROR COMMON DRIVER CIRCUIT, OR TO (P74) PASSENGER MIRROR HORIZONTAL DRIVER CIRCUIT




1. Disconnect the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror C2 (Component Side) harness connector from the Door Module.
2. Measure the resistance between the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P72) Passenger Mirror Vertical Driver circuit at the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror C1 and C2 (Component Side) harness connectors.
3. Measure the resistance between the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P70) Passenger Mirror Common Driver circuit at the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror C1 and C2 (Component Side) harness connectors.
4. Measure the resistance between the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P74) Passenger Mirror Horizontal Driver circuit at the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror C1 and C2 (Component Side) harness connectors.

Is the resistance below 10K Ohms for any measurement?

Yes

- Repair all circuits with a resistance below 10K Ohms for a short to the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit. If the wiring harness and harness connector are okay, replace the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No, with Heated/Turn Signal Mirror

- Go To 5

No, without Heated/Turn Signal Mirror

- Inspect the wiring and harness connectors for damage and repair as necessary. If the wiring and harness connectors are okay, replace the Door Module.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

5. CHECK (M42) PASSENGER PUDDLE LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (C17) PASSENGER MIRROR HEATER DRIVER CIRCUIT OR TO (P502) PASSENGER MIRROR TURN SIGNAL DRIVER CIRCUIT




1. For Heated Mirror, measure the resistance between the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (C17) Passenger Mirror Heater Driver circuit at the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror C1 and C2 (Component Side) harness connectors.
2. For Turn Signal Mirror, measure the resistance between the (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit and the (P502) Passenger Mirror Turn Signal Driver circuit at the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror C1 and C2 (Component Side) harness 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 (M42) Passenger Puddle Lamp Driver circuit. If the wiring harness and harness connector are okay, replace the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Inspect the wiring and harness connectors for damage and repair as necessary. If the wiring and harness connectors are okay, replace the Door Module.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
