Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
VERIFY FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) DTCs AGAIN
•  Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Operate the light switch in TNS position.
•  Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 8.
2
INSPECT LICENSE PLATE LIGHT BULB (LH)
•  Inspect the license plate light bulb (LH).
•  Is the license plate light bulb (LH) normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the license plate light bulb (LH), then go to Step 7.
3
INSPECT LICENSE PLATE LIGHT BULB (RH)
•  Inspect the license plate light bulb (RH).
•  Is the license plate light bulb (RH) normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the license plate light bulb (RH), then go to Step 7.
4
INSPECT CONNECTORS
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
•  Disconnect the following connectors and inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
?  Front body control module (FBCM)
?  Taillight (rear combination light) (LH)
?  Taillight (rear combination light) (RH)
?  Taillight (liftgate light) (LH) (with taillight (liftgate light))
?  Taillight (liftgate light) (RH) (with taillight (liftgate light))
?  License plate light (LH)
?  License plate light (RH)
•  Are all connectors normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning connector, then go to Step 7.
5
INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN LICENSE PLATE LIGHT/TAILLIGHT CIRCUIT
•  Verify that the following connectors are disconnected:
?  Front body control module (FBCM)
?  Taillight (rear combination light) (LH)
?  Taillight (rear combination light) (RH)
?  Taillight (liftgate light) (LH) (with taillight (liftgate light))
?  Taillight (liftgate light) (RH) (with taillight (liftgate light))
?  License plate light (LH)
?  License plate light (RH)
•  Inspect for continuity between front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
•  Taillight (rear combination light) (LH) terminal C—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I
•  Taillight (rear combination light) (RH) terminal C—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I
•  Taillight (liftgate light) (LH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I (with taillight (liftgate light))
•  Taillight (liftgate light) (RH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I (with taillight (liftgate light))
•  License plate light (LH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I
•  License plate light (RH) terminal A—Front body control module (FBCM) terminal 1I
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
Go to Step 7.
No
Go to the next step.
6
PERFORM DTC INSPECTION AND VERIFY TAILLIGHT (REAR COMBINATION LIGHT)/TAILLIGHT (LIFTGATE LIGHT) (WITH TAILLIGHT (LIFTGATE LIGHT)) MALFUNCTION
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Reconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Operate the light switch in TNS position.
•  Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Repair or replace the rear combination light/liftgate light (with taillight (liftgate light)), then go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 8.
7
VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Reconnect the negative battery cable.
•  Clear the DTC for the front body control module (FBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Operate the light switch in TNS position.
•  Retrieve the front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the front body control module (FBCM).
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
•  Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
