Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel dimmer switch is used to increase and decrease the
brightness of the interior backlighting
components. The instrument panel dimmer switch provides a voltage signal to the
body control module (BCM)
that will increase as the brightness of the lights are increased and decrease as
the brightness of the lights are
decreased. The BCM provides a low reference, signal, and B+ voltage reference
circuits to the instrument panel
dimmer switch. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in the desired
position, the dimmed voltage
setting is applied from the instrument panel dimmer switch through the
instrument panel dimmer switch signal
circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and applies a pulse width
modulated (PWM) voltage through
the light emitting diode (LED) dimming control circuits illuminating the
interior backlighting to the requested
level of brightness.
Conditions for Running the DTC
- Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
- Park lamps ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B2610 01
The BCM detects a short to battery in the LED backlight dimming control
circuit terminal 8 X2 or the LED
backlight dimming control circuit terminal 9 X7.
DTC B2610 02
The BCM detects a short to ground in the LED backlight dimming control
circuit terminal 8 X2 or the LED
backlight dimming control circuit terminal 9 X7.
DTC B2610 04
The BCM detects an open/high resistance in the LED backlight dimming control
circuit terminal 8 X2 or the
LED backlight dimming control circuit terminal 9 X7.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM will disable the LED backlight dimming control circuits.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
- A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition
cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
Each component with backlighting may need to be disconnected to isolate
a short to voltage or short to ground. Use the schematics to identify the
following:
- Backlighting components the vehicle is equipped with
- Each component's control and ground circuit terminals
- Component locations on the backlighting control circuit
- Ignition OFF, all doors closed, all accessories OFF, disconnect the
harness connector at the component
with inoperative backlighting. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle
systems to power down.
- Test for less than 15 ohms between the appropriate ground circuit
terminal and ground.
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground
connection.
- If less than 15 ohms
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate control circuit terminal and
ground, ignition ON.
- Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the LED Backlight
Dimming ON and OFF
with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp is always OFF
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connector listed below
at the K9 Body Control
Module.
- X2 terminal 8
- X7 terminal 9
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
- If the test lamp is always ON
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connector listed below
at the K9 Body Control
Module, ignition ON.
- X2 terminal 8
- X7 terminal 9
- Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K9 Body Control Module
- If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
- Test or replace the component with inoperative backlighting.
