Did you perform the Lighting System Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems

1. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
2. Place the automatic transmission in reverse.
3. Verify that the backup lamps are inoperative.

Do the backup lamps operate normally?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

Determine if one backup lamp is inoperative or both backup lamps are inoperative.

Is one backup lamp inoperative?

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 4

1. Disconnect the automatic transmission range switch connector.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. Probe the battery positive voltage circuit of the automatic transmission range switch connector with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 8

Connect a fused jumper between the battery positive voltage circuit and the backup lamp supply voltage circuit of the automatic transmission range switch connector.

Do the backup lamps illuminate?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 6

1. Disconnect the LH backup lamp connector.
2. Probe the backup lamp supply voltage circuit of the LH backup lamp connector with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 9
