  2. Disconnect the harness connector at E7 License Plate Lamp.
  3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the license plate lamp ground circuit harness connector terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open circuit/high resistance.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit harness connector terminal 3 and ground.
  5. Command the License Plate Lamps test with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the test shows that the circuit is normal, replace the body electronic module K9.
