Courtesy Lamp Malfunction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate courtesy lamp.
- Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, doors CLOSED, interior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit listed below and ground.
- Dome lamp - terminal A
- Inside rearview mirror - terminal 8 (with UE1)
- Inside rearview mirror - terminal 2 (without UE1)
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- Dome lamp - terminal D
- Inside rearview mirror - terminal 6 (with UE1)
- Inside rearview mirror - terminal 7 (without UE1)
- Command the Interior Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Connect a test lamp between B+ and the control circuit terminal listed below.
- Dome lamp - terminal B
- Inside rearview mirror low - terminal 1 (with UE1)
- Inside rearview mirror low - terminal 6 (without UE1)
- Command the Inadvertent Power ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the courtesy lamp.
