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

Ignition ON, verify that when the head-up display dimming switch is change for minimum to maximum position 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.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the S27 head-up display switch. Verify the scan tool Dim Select Switch parameter displays Open.

If not the specified value, test the switch signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K78 head-up display module.

2. If all circuits tests normal, 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.

2. Turn the dimming switch to minimum position.

3. Test for 25-40 ohms between the signal terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 1. Turn the dimming switch from minimum to maximum and verify the resistance increases in each position to 875-950 ohms in maximum position.

If the resistance does not change, replace the S27 Head-Up Display Switch.
