I/P Dimmer Switch 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.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the I/P dimmer switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, doors CLOSED, test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, park lamps ON, test for B+ between the signal circuit terminal D and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and the low reference circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool I/P Dimmer Switch parameter is less than B+.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the I/P dimmer switch.
