DTC Descriptor

DTC B2652 02

Passenger Compartment Dimming 3 Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

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+ 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 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

The BCM detects a short to ground in the accent lamps control circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will disable the accent lamps control circuit.

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 accent lamp may need to be disconnected to isolate the short to ground. Use the schematic to identify the following:

  • All accent lamps equipped with the vehicle
  • Component locations on the accent light control circuit
  • Each component's control circuit terminals
  1. Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, all doors closed, all accessories OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the appropriate E1 Accent Lamp. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 15 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  • If 15 ohms or greater
  1. Ignition OFF.
  2. 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
  1. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground, ignition ON.
  2. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Accent Lighting 1 ON and OFF with a scan tool.
  • If the test lamp is always OFF
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
  2. 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
  1. 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
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X6 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.
  2. 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
  1. Test or replace the appropriate E1 Accent Lamp

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
