DTC Descriptor

DTC B3634 02
- Head-Up Display Dimming Switch Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The head-up display dimming switch is a resistance ladder switch and wired to head-up display. The head-up display dimming switch signal circuit is pulled up to battery voltage in the head-up display. The head-up display also provides the head-up display switch with a low reference. The head-up display switch is a momentary contact switch that connects a series of resistors in a resistor ladder format. The head-up display monitors the head-up display dimming switch signal circuit to determine the head-up display dimming state. Each switch state corresponds to a certain resistance value.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is in OFF, ACCESSORY or RUN position.

* The system voltage is between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3634 02

The head-up display detects that the head-up display switch signal circuit is less than 100 mV.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

B3634 02

The head-up display will be set in a default illumination level.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will become history if the head-up display no longer detects a malfunction.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify the scan tool Display Dimming parameter changes from 0% to 100% and the and the scan tool Dim Select Switch parameter changes from 1-12. while rotating the Head-Up Display dim select switch from the minimum to maximum positions.

If scan tool parameters do not respond properly
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If scan tool parameters respond properly

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the S27 Head-Up Display Switch.

2. Verify the scan tool Dim Select Switch parameter displays Open.

If Dim Select Switch parameter does not display Open

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Head-Up Display.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance, replace the P29 Head-Up Display.

If Dim Select Switch parameter displays Open

3. Test or replace the S27 Head-Up Display Switch.

Component Testing

Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S27 Head-Up Display Switch. Turn the dimming switch to minimum position.

2. Test for 25-40 ohms between the signal terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 1.

If less than 25 ohms or more than 40 ohms
Replace S27 Head-Up Display Switch.

If 25-40 ohms

3. Turn the dimming switch to the maximum position.

4. Test for 875-950 ohms between the signal terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 1.

If less than 875 ohms or more than 950 ohms
Replace S27 Head-Up Display Switch.

If 875-950 ohms

5. All OK.
