The body control module (BCM) has a ground at G201. The sole purpose of this ground circuit is to provide a ground for all courtesy lamp current flow through both the theater dim 1 and 2 output circuits.
The input does not match a normal ground potential
• | The BCM detects a open when a ground is expected. |
• | The condition above must be present for more then 0.3 seconds |
Courtesy lamps will be inoperative.
• | A current DTC B2559 will clear if the open is no longer detected by the BCM |
• | A history DTC B2559 will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present or any other malfunction in the BCM is detected. |
• | The BCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool. |
• | If the DTC B2559 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
• | The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur: |
- | An intermittent open in the theater dimming ground circuit |
- | The BCM is intermittently opened. |
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

1 | Did you perform the Lighting System Diagnostic System Check? | Go to Step 2 | |
2 |
Do the interior lamps turn ON? | Go to Diagnostic Aids | Go to Step 3 |
Test for an open or high resistance in the ground circuit of the BCM that provides a ground path for the theater dimming 1 and theater dimming 2 circuits. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4 | |
4 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module]. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 |
5 |
Important: Perform the set up procedure for the body control module. Replace the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 6 | -- |
