DTC Descriptor
DTC B2652 02
- Passenger Compartment Dimming 3 Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) uses the ambient light sensor to determine which brightness of the accent lighting is needed. The BCM applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the accent light LED control circuit. Depending on the specified lighting requirements, the BCM has three different accent lighting settings:

* Daylight conditions (70%)
* Night conditions (40%)
* Welcome light (100%)

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON.
* The headlamps or park lamps ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground on the accent lighting control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM does not attempt to illuminate the accent lighting.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, command the Accent Lighting ON and OFF with a scan tool. The accent lighting should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the appropriate E1 accent light.
2. Test for less than 5 ohm between the ground circuit terminal and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition OFF, doors closed, wait 20 seconds before testing for less than 0.3 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.

• If greater than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal replace the K9 BCM.

4. Ignition ON, doors open, test for greater than 11 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.

• If less than the specified value, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the K9 BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the E1 accent light.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Refer to the appropriate replacement procedure for the lighting component that requires replacement.
