Pinpoint Test

  1. BYPASS THE Body Control Module (BCM)
    NOTE: If the fuse in the jumper wire fails, refer to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. After the repair:

    If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U1000:00 is present, CLEAR the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and REPEAT the on-demand self-test (required to enable the backlighting output driver if Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U1000:00 is present).

    If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U3000:49 is present, INSTALL a new Body Control Module (BCM). REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITHOUT INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) or REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITH INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) .

    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: Body Control Module (BCM) C2280B.
    3. Connect a fused jumper wire:

    • Do the backlighting components illuminate? 
    1. Yes:  REMOVE the jumper wire. GO to step 2 .
    2. No:  REMOVE the jumper wire. VERIFY the Body Control Module (BCM) fuse 12 (15A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the Body Control Module (BCM) dimmable backlighting output circuit for an open.
  2. CHECK FOR CORRECT Body Control Module (BCM) OPERATION
  1. Disconnect and inspect all Body Control Module (BCM) connectors.
  2. Repair:
    • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
    • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
    • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
  3. Reconnect the Body Control Module (BCM) connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
  4. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
  1. Yes:  CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new Body Control Module (BCM). REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITHOUT INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) or REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITH INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) .
  2. No:  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
