Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel (I/P) dimmer switch is used to increase and decrease the brightness of the interior backlighting components. The I/P dimmer switch provides a voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) that will increase as the brightness of the lights are increased and decrease as the brightness of the lights are decreased. The BCM provides a low reference, signal, and B+ voltage reference circuits to the I/P dimmer switch. When the I/P dimmer switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the I/P dimmer switch through the I/P dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the LED backlight dimming control circuit illuminating the LED backlighting to the requested level of brightness.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
* Park lamps ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground in the LED backlight dimming control circuit terminal 5 X1.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
The LED backlight dimming control circuit driver is shut down.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the components listed below.
* S48C multifunction switch 1 - instrument panel
* S48D multifunction switch 2 - instrument panel
* S32LR seat heating switch - left rear
* S32RR seat heating switch - right rear
2. Connect a test lamp between the appropriate control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
* S48C multifunction switch 1 - instrument panel terminal 3
* S48D multifunction switch 2 - instrument panel terminal 3
* S32LR seat heating switch - left rear terminal 6
* S32RR seat heating switch - right rear terminal 6
3. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the LED Backlight Dimming ON and OFF with a scan tool.
• If the test lamp is always OFF
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance
3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.
• If the test lamp is always ON
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.
• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
• If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.
• If the test lamp turns ON and OFF
4. Test or replace the appropriate component with the inoperative backlighting.
