Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the courtesy lamps theater dimming. The ground will slowly reduce in order to turn the lamps to the OFF position. If there is an open or a short to ground condition in the courtesy lamp low control circuit, DTC B2452 will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B2452 Courtesy Lamps Low Control Circuit Low
Conditions for Setting the DTC

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | Stores DTC B2452 in the BCM memory. |
| • | No driver warning message will be displayed for this DTC. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The short to ground condition is no longer detected by the BCM in the courtesy lamp low control circuit. |
| • | The open circuit condition is no longer detected by the BCM in the courtesy lamp low control circuit. |
