Diagnosis of malfunctions of the lighting system

            0

Important: The following steps must be completed before using the symptom tables.


1. Before using the symptom tables, perform a system diagnostic check to ensure the following items are true.
  1. There are no fault codes.
  2. The controllers can communicate over a serial line.

2. View system operation to familiarize yourself with the functions of the system.

Visual inspection / physical control



Some symptom diagnosis procedures require a thorough visual inspection/physical inspection. This step is extremely important - it can lead to a solution to the problem without further checks and save valuable time. These checks include the following:
  • Inspect aftermarket equipment that may affect the operation of the lighting system.
  • Inspect easily accessible or visible wiring harness components and connectors for obvious signs of damage or conditions that could cause this symptom.
  • If only one lamp fails, inspect and repair a broken connection or an open in the power or ground circuit before replacing the lamp.

Intermittent fault



Faulty electrical connections or wiring can also cause intermittent faults. See Section 9A, "Checking body wiring systems for intermittent faults and contact problems".
