Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the brakes firmly applied, shift the gear selector into REVERSE.
    3. With the scan tool, read the Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Is the DTC active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

      • The condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension. If no problems are found, test complete.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  2. CHECK THE (L15) LEFT BACKUP LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Shift the gear selector into PARK.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Disconnect the Tailgate Light Bar harness connector.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. Measure the voltage between ground and the (L15) Left Backup Lamp Driver circuit at the Tailgate Light Bar harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (L15) Left Backup Lamp Driver circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

  3. CHECK THE (L15) LEFT BACKUP LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the BCM C6/F harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (L15) Left Backup Lamp Driver circuit between the Tailgate Light Bar harness connector and the BCM C6/F harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the open in the (L15) Left Backup Lamp Driver circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE (Z922) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z922) Ground circuit at the Tailgate Light Bar harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the open in the (Z922) Ground circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE BCM 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Reconnect the BCM C6/F harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the brakes firmly applied, shift the gear selector into REVERSE.
      NOTE:

      The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

    5. Connect a 12-volt test light between the (L15) Left Backup Lamp Driver circuit and the (Z922) Ground circuit at the Lift Gate Light Bar harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Replace the Left Backup Lamp Bulb in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No
