Pinpoint Test D: One Or More Module-Controlled Illumination Source(s) Is Inoperative: Testing

  1. D1 CHECK FOR RECORDED SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) DTCs 
    • Reveiw the recorded results from the SJB continuous and on-demand self-tests.
    • Are any DTCs recorded? 
  2. D2 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE SINGLE ILLUMINATION SOURCE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Inoperative Illumination Source.
    • 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:
      DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

      Suspect Component Connector-Pin Circuit
      Adjustable Pedals Switch (vehicles built before 1/2005) C2089-5 1417 (LG/RD)
      Adjustable Pedals Switch (vehicles built after 1/2005) C2089-2 1417 (LG/RD)
      Decklid Release Switch (vehicles built before 1/2005) C2269-5 1417 (LG/RD)
      Decklid Release Switch (vehicles built after 1/2005) C2269-2 1417 (LG/RD)
      Center Stack C2114-7 1417 (LG/RD)
      Manual Climate Control Assembly C294a-2 1417 (LG/RD)
      Analog Clock C2016-2 1418 (LB/WH)
      Shifter Assembly C3245-2 1418 (LB/WH)
      Headlamp Switch C205-2 1418 (LB/WH)
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to D3.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. D3 CHECK CIRCUIT 1205 (BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between the inoperative illumination source, harness side and ground as follows:
      DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

      Suspect Component Connector-Pin Circuit
      Adjustable Pedals Switch (vehicles built before 1/2005) C2089-4 1205 (BK)
      Adjustable Pedals Switch (vehicles built after 1/2005) C2089-1 1205 (BK)
      Decklid Release Switch (vehicles built before 1/2005) C2269-4 1205 (BK)
      Decklid Release Switch (vehicles built after 1/2005) C2269-1 1205 (BK)
      Center Stack C2114-4 1205 (BK)
      Manual Climate Control Assembly C294b-1 1205 (BK)
      Shifter Assembly C3245-4 1205 (BK)
      Headlamp Switch C205-1 1205 (BK)
      Analog Clock C2016-3 1205 (BK)
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new component in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. D4 CHECK CIRCUIT 1418 (LB/WH) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Headlamp Switch C205.
    • Disconnect: Shifter Assembly C3245.
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280d.
    • Measure the resistance between the SJB C2280d-20, circuit 1418 (LB/WH), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to  D6.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. D5 CHECK CIRCUIT 1417 (LG/RD) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Adjustable Pedal Switch C2089.
    • Disconnect: Decklid Release Switch C2269.
    • Disconnect: Center Stack Switches C2114.
    • Disconnect: Manual Climate Control Assembly C294a.
    • Disconnect: Analog Clock C2016.
    • Measure the resistance between the SJB C2280d-4, circuit 1417 (LG/RD), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to D6.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. D6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
