Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, switch the dome/reading lamps or dome/reading lamps - row ON and OFF while observing the lamp. The concerning reading lamp should illuminate when switched ON.

Circuit/System Testing

Reading Lamps Circuit Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate reading lamp.
2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the C1 Battery.
3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. Reconnect the negative terminal of the C1 Battery.
5. Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the 12 V circuit terminal 1 and the ground circuit terminal 6.
If less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the E37A Dome/Reading Lamps or E37B Dome/Reading Lamps - 2nd Row.

Repair Instructions
