The BCM detects a short to voltage on the control circuit.

B2560 02

The BCM detects a short to ground on the control circuit.

B2560 04

The BCM detects an open on the control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The cargo lamp will not illuminate.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, command the Trunk Lamp ON and OFF with a scan tool. The E8S rear compartment courtesy lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E8S rear compartment courtesy lamp.
2. Test for less than 30 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
4. Ignition ON, command the Trunk Lamp ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the E8S rear compartment courtesy lamp.
