Pinpoint Test E: The Demand Lighting Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 89, Interior Lamps for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Lighting Control Module (LCM) provides power to the demand lamps. The demand lamps remain powered for a predetermined amount of time. Once the battery saver timeout has been reached, the LCM removes voltage from the demand lamps.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- LCM

- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the LCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
