Normal Operation
The generic electronic module (GEM) monitors the door ajar switch status on circuits 31S-GL9 (BK/YE) (LH front), 31S-GL12 (BK/OG) (LH rear), 31S-GL16 (BK/BU) (RH front) and 31S-GL19 (BK/GN) (RH rear). The door ajar switches are normally closed when the doors are closed. When the GEM determines a door is open, the GEM then controls the ground side of the interior lamp on circuit 31S-LC7 (BK/BU) to illuminate the interior lamp.

Possible Causes
- Circuit 31S-GL9 (BK/YE) short to ground
- Circuit 31S-GL12 (BK/OG) short to ground
- Circuit 31S-GL16 (BK/BU) short to ground
- Circuit 31S-GL19 (BK/GN) short to ground
- Door ajar switch
- GEM
