Diagnostic Test
1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds then turn the ignition on.
Turn the headlamps on.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Turn the headlamps on.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Q: Does the scan tool display B1613-PANEL ILLUMINATION CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?
YES: Go To 3
NO: Replace the shorted component as necessary. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test
3. PANEL LAMPS DIMMING CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Instrument Cluster C3 harness connector.
Using the wiring diagram as a guide, disconnect each dimmed component and measure the resistance of the Panel Illumination Control Circuits from the Cluster C3 harness connector to ground.
Q: Was there a short to ground condition found?
