Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This step tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range.
  2. 4:  This step tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the high voltage range. If the fuse in the jumper opens when you perform this test, the signal circuit is shorted to ground.
  3. 5:  This step tests for a short to voltage in the 5-volt reference circuit.
  4. 6:  This step tests for a high resistance or an open in the low reference circuit.

1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2
  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the Dimming Input data parameter in the Body Control Module (BCM) Data List.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Dimming Input data parameter is within the specified range?		 4.5-5.5 V Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Go to Step 3 
3 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the headlamp switch.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. With a scan tool, observe the Dimming Input data parameter.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Dimming Input data parameter is less than the specified value?		 4.5 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 10 
4 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference circuit of the instrument panel (I/P) dimmer/headlamp switch and the signal circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. With a scan tool, observe the Dimming Input data parameter.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Dimming Input data parameter is greater than the specified value?		 4.86 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 8 
5 
  1. Disconnect the fused jumper wire.
  2. Measure the voltage between the 5-volt reference circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch and the low reference circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch.
Does the voltage measure less than the specified value?		 5.15 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 7 
6 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection .
  3. Measure the resistance from the low reference circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch to a good ground.
Does the resistance measure less than the specified value?		 5 Ω Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
7 Test the 5-volt reference circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
8 Test the 5-volt reference circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 9 
9 Test the signal circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch for a short to ground, a high resistance, or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
10 Test the signal circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
11
  1. Disconnect the BCM.
  2. Test the low reference circuit of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
12 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the I/P dimmer/headlamp switch. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 14 
13 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 16  Go to Step 15 
14 Replace the headlamp switch. Refer to Headlamp Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 16  -
15 Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 16  -
16
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 2  System OK
