Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
    VISUAL INSPECTION CHART

    Mechanical Electrical
    • Instrument panel dimmer switch
    • Smart junction box (SJB) fuse 6 (5A)
    • Miniature bulb(s)
    • Circuitry
    • Accessory delay relay
    • Instrument cluster Headlamp switch
  3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
    • check that the program card is correctly installed.
    • check the connections to the vehicle.
    • check the ignition switch position.
  5. If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool operating manual.
  6. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
    • CAN circuits fault; all electronic control units no response/not equipped, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
    • No response/not equipped for the SJB, refer to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES .
    • No response/not equipped for the instrument cluster, refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER .
    • System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out self-test diagnostics for the SJB and the instrument cluster.
  7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern and are from the SJB, go to the SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX .
  8. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern and are from the instrument cluster, refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER .
  9. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to SYMPTOM CHART .
