License Plate Lights Inoperative

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X4 at the K9 Body Control Module BCM.
  2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the voltage supply circuit terminal 13 X4 and ground.
  3. If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the license lamp voltage supply circuit for open circuit/high resistance or short to ground.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E7 License Plate Lamp.
  5. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  6. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  7. Connect a test lamp between the license lamp control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
  8. Ignition ON, cycle the switch between parklamps ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF.
  9. If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module BCM.
  10. If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module BCM.
  11. If all the circuits test normal, replace the E7 License Plate Lamp.
