Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Listen for an audible click when the park lamp relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 3:  Tests for voltage at the coil side of the park lamp relay.
  3. 4:  Verifies that the body control module (BCM) is providing ground to the park lamp relay.
  4. 5:  Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the park lamp relay.
  5. 6:  Tests if there is opposing voltage present or an open park lamp relay control circuit.
  6. 12:  After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.
