Parking, Rear and License Plate Lamps

Pinpoint Test W: One Or More Parking, Rear or License Plate Lamps Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 92, Parking, Rear and License Lamps for schematic and connector information Electrical Diagrams.

Normal Operation

The Front Lighting Control Module (FLM) sends a message over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) to the BCM (Body Control Module) to indicate the headlamp switch position. When the BCM (Body Control Module) receives a message from the FLM (Front Lighting Control Module) indicating a request for the parking lamps, the BCM (Body Control Module) provides voltage to the parking lamps through 2 circuits.

If the BCM (Body Control Module) receives a message from the FLM (Front Lighting Control Module) indicating a fault with the headlamp switch or the BCM (Body Control Module) loses communication with the FLM (Front Lighting Control Module), the BCM (Body Control Module) defaults the exterior lamps on.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Fuse

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Bulb socket

- Headlamp assembly

- Front auxiliary parking lamp (Edge)

- Rear lamp assembly (MKX)

- Liftgate lamp (MKX)

- BCM (Body Control Module)

PINPOINT TEST W : ONE OR MORE PARKING, REAR OR LICENSE PLATE LAMPS IS INOPERATIVE

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

W1 DETERMINE IF ALL THE PARKING LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE

- Ignition OFF.

- Place the headlamp switch in the PARKING LAMPS ON position.

Are all the parking lamps inoperative?

Yes
GO to W7.

No
If all the rear parking lamps are inoperative, VERIFY the BCM (Body Control Module) fuse 40 (10A) is OK. If OK, GO to W2. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short Electrical Diagrams.

If all the front parking lamps are inoperative, VERIFY the BCM (Body Control Module) fuse 30 (15A) is OK. If OK, GO to W3. If not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short Electrical Diagrams.

For any other inoperative lamp, GO to W4.

W2 BYPASS THE BCM (Body Control Module) (REAR PARKING LAMPS)

NOTE: If the fuse in the jumper wire fails, refer to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short Electrical Diagrams.

- Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.

- Disconnect: BCM (Body Control Module) C2280D.

- Connect a fused jumper wire between the positive battery terminal and the BCM (Body Control Module) C2280D-18, circuit CBP40 (YE/GN), harness side.






Do the rear parking lamps illuminate?

Yes
REMOVE the jumper wire. GO to W7.

No
REMOVE the jumper wire. REPAIR circuit CBP40 (YE/GN) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

W3 BYPASS THE BCM (Body Control Module) (FRONT PARKING LAMPS)

NOTE: If the fuse in the jumper wire fails, refer to the Wiring Diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short Electrical Diagrams.

- Place the headlamp switch to the OFF position.

- Disconnect: BCM (Body Control Module) C2280E.

- Connect a fused jumper wire between the positive battery terminal and the BCM (Body Control Module) C2280E-6, circuit CBP30 (YE/BU), harness side.






Do the front parking lamps illuminate?

Yes
REMOVE the jumper wire. GO to W7.

No
REMOVE the jumper wire. REPAIR circuit CBP30 (YE/BU) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

W4 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE INOPERATIVE PARKING LAMP

- Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes
GO to W5.

No
REPAIR the parking lamp voltage supply circuit in question for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.

W5 CHECK THE INOPERATIVE PARKING LAMP GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

- Measure the voltage between the inoperative lamp, harness side as follows:
