Normal Operation
The driver door module (DDM) monitors the door ajar switch status for each door. When a door is open, the DDM signals the lighting control module (LCM) to supply power to the interior lamps. The interior lamps are powered through circuit 53 (BK/LB). The LCM also monitors the dome lamp switch status from the instrument panel dimmer switch through circuit 1034 (BK/WH). When the LCM recognizes that the dome lamps have been requested, the LCM supplies power to the interior lamps on circuit 53 (BK/LB).

DTC B1322 - is an on-demand DTC that sets if the DDM detects a short to ground on the driver door ajar circuit 867 (DB).

DTC B1566 - is an on-demand DTC that sets if the DDM detects a short to ground on the passenger door ajar circuit 627 (BK/OG).

DTC B1688 - is an on-demand DTC that sets if the LCM detects a short to ground on the dome lamp input circuit 1034 (BK/WH).
