Pinpoint Test B: The Control Illumination Is Always On - All Hardwired Illumination

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 71, Cluster and Panel Illumination for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) supplies a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage to the dimmable illumination sources on circuit VLN04 (VT/GY).

- DTC B2A32 (LED Backlighting Output Circuit Open) - an on-demand DTC that sets when the SJB detects a short to voltage on the backlighting output circuit. The DTC also sets as a result when fuse 10 (15A) has failed or is removed.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- SJB



PINPOINT TEST B: THE CONTROL ILLUMINATION IS ALWAYS ON - ALL HARDWIRED ILLUMINATION

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

-------------------------------------------------
B1 CHECK THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING


- Ignition OFF.
- Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.
- Observe the exterior lighting components.
- Are any exterior lighting components illuminated?

Yes
REFER to Lighting and Horns. Lighting and Horns

No
GO to B2.

-------------------------------------------------
B2 CHECK CIRCUIT VLN04 (VT/GY) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE


- Disconnect: SJB C2280b.
- Ignition ON.
- Do the dimmable backlighted components continue to illuminate?

Yes
REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

No
GO to B3.

-------------------------------------------------
B3 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION


- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new SJB. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
