Pinpoint Test C: A Single Illumination Source Is Inoperative

CAUTION: Use the correct probe adaptor(s) when making measurements. Failure to use he correct probe adaptor(s) may damage the connector.
  1. C1 CHECK ILLUMINATION SOURCES 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Place the headlamp switch in the PARKING LAMPS ON position.
    • Rotate the instrument panel dimmer switch to the full illumination position.
    • Observe the lighting.
    • Are the illumination sources operating correctly? 
    1. YES  : The system is operating correctly at this time.
    2. NO  : If the exterior mirror control switch, the memory set switch, the LH door lock control switch, or the RH door lock control switch (fixed backlighting) are inoperative, go to  C4 .

      If the variable backlighting sources are inoperative, go to  C2 .

  2. C2 CHECK THE VOLTAGE SUPPLY TO THE INOPERATIVE VARIABLE ILLUMINATION SOURCE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Inoperative Illumination Source
    • Key in ON position.
    • Place the headlamp switch in the PARKING LAMPS ON position.
    • Rotate the instrument panel dimmer switch to the full illumination position.
    • Measure the voltage between the inoperative illumination source and ground as follows:
      Component Connector-Pin Circuit
      Message center switch C253-6 1417 (LG/RD)
      Headlamp switch C205-2 1418 (LB/WH)
      Overhead console C930-14 1418 (LB/WH)
      Overhead console C930-6 1417 (LG/RD)
      Parking aid disable switch C2114-9 1417 (LG/RD)
      Adjustable pedal switch C2089-3 1417 (LG/RD)
      Power quarter window switch C2981-4 1417 (LG/RD)
      DVD player C949-3 1417 (LG/RD)
      Clock C2016-2 1418 (LB/WH)
      Illumination dimmer C2065-3 1418 (LB/WH)
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : Go to  C3.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. C3 CHECK THE GROUND TO THE INOPERATIVE ILLUMINATION SOURCE 
    • Measure the resistance between the inoperative illumination source and ground as follows:
      Component Connector-Pin Circuit
      Message center switch C253-3 1205 (BK)
      Headlamp switch C205-1 1205 (BK)
      Overhead console C930-4 1203 (BK/LB)
      Parking aid disable switch C2114-5 1205 (BK)
      Adjustable pedal switch C2089-2 1205 (BK)
      Power quarter window switch C2981-8 1205 (BK)
      DVD player C949-14 1205 (BK)
      Clock C2016-5 1205 (BK)
      Illumination dimmer C2065-8 1205 (BK)
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new component in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  4. C4 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE FIXED ILLUMINATION SOURCE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Inoperative Illumination Source
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the inoperative illumination source and ground as follows:
      Component Connector-Pin Circuit
      Memory set switch C9023-3 1499 (PK/LG)
      LH door lock control switch C508b-5 1499 (PK/LG)
      RH door lock control switch C605-5 1499 (PK/LG)
    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. YES  : VERIFY the SJB fuse 6 (5A) is OK. If OK, go to  C5 .
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  5. C5 CHECK THE GROUND TO THE INOPERATIVE ILLUMINATION SOURCE 
    • Measure the resistance between the inoperative fixed illumination source and ground as follows:
      Component Connector-Pin Circuit
      Memory set switch C9023-4 1205 (BK)
      LH door lock control switch C508b-1 1205 (BK)
      RH door lock control switch C605-1 1205 (BK)
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new component in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
