B1672-15-DRIVER COURTESY LAMP CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY OR OPEN





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The puddle lamp is a LED with a built in circuit board. The Body Control Module controls the operation and sends a bus message to the Door Module to turn the lamp on or off.

- When Monitored:
Whenever the door module receives a command to turn the puddle lamp on or off.

- Set Condition:
When the Driver Door Courtesy Lamp Driver circuit is on when it should be off or off when it should be on, for over 2000 ms. and the above conditions are met, this code will set.





1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
3. Lower the driver window.
4. Cycle the ignition on to off three times. Leave in the Lock position.
5. Close then open the driver door.
6. Wait one minute.
7. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: B1672-15-DRIVER COURTESY LAMP CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY OR OPEN as active?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete, 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.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. (M43) DRIVER DOOR COURTESY LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the inner door panel trim. Front Door Trim Panel - Removal.
3. Leave the Driver Door Puddle Lamp connector connected.
4. Disconnect the Driver Door Module C5 harness connector.
5. Turn the ignition on.
6. Measure the voltage between ground and the (M43) Driver Door Ambient Lamp Driver circuit in the Driver Door Module C5 harness connector.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (M43) Driver Door Ambient Lamp Driver circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. (M43) DRIVER DOOR COURTESY LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Be sure the Driver Door Puddle Lamp connector is still connected.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Connect a fused jumper wire to the (M43) Driver Door Courtesy Lamp Driver circuit in the DDM C5 harness connector.
5. Connect a jumper wire, connected to ground to the (M34) Driver Door Lighting Return circuit in the DDM C5 harness connector

No

- Go To 4

4. (M43) DRIVER DOOR COURTESY LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Driver Door Puddle Lamp harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (M43) Driver Door Courtesy Lamp Driver circuit between the DDM C5 harness connector and the Driver Door Puddle Lamp harness connector.

Is the resistance below 2.0 Ohms?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the open in the (M43) Driver Door Courtesy Lamp Driver circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

5. (M34) DRIVER DOOR LIGHTING RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN




1. Measure the resistance of the (M34) Driver Door Lighting Return circuit between the DDM C5 harness connector and the Driver Door Puddle Lamp harness connector.

Is the resistance below 2.0 Ohms?

Yes

- Replace the Driver Door Puddle Lamp.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Repair the open in the (M34) Driver Door Lighting Return circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
