  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 and X4 harness connectors at the BCM.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Terminal 2 X3
    • Terminal 2 X4
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the X3 and X4 harness connectors at the BCM.
  4. Disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative courtesy/reading lamp assembly.
  5. Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, doors CLOSED, interior lamps OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the appropriate ground circuit terminal listed below and ground.
    • Dome lamp terminal D
    • Overhead console Courtesy/reading lamps terminal B
    • Cargo lamp terminal D
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  6. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the appropriate control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
    • Dome lamp terminal C
    • Overhead console courtesy/reading lamps terminal A
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. Remove the INT LAMPS fuse from the I/P fuse block and verify the test lamp turns OFF.
    • If the test lamp remains illuminated, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  8. Install the INT LAMPS fuse at the I/P fuse block.
  9. Ignition OFF, doors CLOSED, operate the dome lamp switch between the ON and OFF positions. The cargo lamp, dome lamp, and overhead console courtesy/reading lamps should turn ON and OFF.
    • If the courtesy lamps do not turn ON and OFF when commanded, replace the dome lamp.
  10. If all circuits test normal, replace the inoperative courtesy/reading lamp assembly.
