Display Day/Night Mode Does Not Work

Display day/night mode does not work

NOTE:
- Always check for and resolve all CAN DTCs before troubleshooting the navigation system.
- Always check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
- Before troubleshooting get the navigation system anti-theft codes.
- After troubleshooting, enter the navigation system anti-theft codes.
- Full brightness on the instrument panel brightness control causes the system to stay in the day mode, even when the lights are on.

1. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is not on full brightness. Turn the headlights on, and adjust the dash brightness to the middle range.
2. Change the day/night mode to AUTO under Set-up and recheck.

Does the display change to day and night modes when turning the headlights on and off?

YES - The system is OK at this time.

NO - Go to step 3.

3. Go into the Diagnostic Menu and use the "Car Status" test to check for an ILL signal.

Is the "ILL" signal OK?

YES - The system is OK.

NO - Check the ILL+ circuit between the navigation unit and relay module.
