The BCM supplies a voltage reference through the instrument panel (I/P) dimming voltage reference circuit to the interior lamp dimmer switch, which is part of the headlamp switch. When the dimmer switch is placed in a desired brightness position, reference voltage is applied through the dimmer switch rheostat and the I/P lamps dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets this voltage signal, then applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage through the LED dimming supply circuit illuminating the components listed below:

The BCM detects a short to ground on the LED dimming supply circuit.

The BCM does not attempt to illuminate the LED lamps.

Ignition ON, cover the ambient light sensor, adjust the interior lamp dimming switch from dim to full bright. The LED lamps in the HVAC control head, radio, DIC switch, and the steering wheel controls should dim and then become full bright.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect all of the LED dimming components on the LED dimming supply circuit.
2. Ignition ON, with a scan tool clear the DTC.
3. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC and verify the DTC does not reset.

⇒	If the DTC resets, test the LED dimming supply circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the BCM.

4. Reconnect each component one at a time and verify that the DTC does not reset as current.

⇒	If the DTC resets as current, test or replace the component responsible for setting the DTC.

Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
