Pinpoint Test E: The Individual Component Illumination Is Inoperative

CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. E1 CHECK THE RECORDED RESULTS FROM BOTH CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND SELF-TESTS 
    • Check for recorded DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
    • Are any DTCs present? 
    1. YES  : REFER to DTC Charts .
    2. NO  : For the rear power window switches, DISCONNECT the switch in question. Go to  E3.

      For all others, go to  E2.

  2. E2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE ILLUMINATED COMPONENT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Inoperative Illumination Source
    • Measure the resistance between the inoperative illuminated component, harness side and ground as follows:

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  E3.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. E3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE ILLUMINATED COMPONENT 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Place the headlamp switch to the PARKING LAMPS ON position.
    • Rotate the instrument panel dimmer switch to the full illumination position.
    • Measure the voltage between the inoperative illumination source, harness side and ground as follows:
