1. Verify the customer's concern by operating the parking lamps to duplicate the concern.
Visual Inspection Chart - Parking Lamps
2. Inspect to determine if one of the mechanical or electrical concerns from the Visual Inspection Chart apply.
3. If inspection reveals an obvious concern that is readily serviced, correct the concern before continuing with Inspection and Verification.
4. If a concern remains after the inspection, use Rotunda New Generation Star (NGS) Tester 007-00500 or equivalent connected to the data link
connector (DLC) to retrieve continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and to execute Self Test Diagnostics for the Lighting Control Module. If
after performing data link diagnostic test, the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester responds with NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, go to Pinpoint
Test EA. See: Pinpoint Tests/EA - No Communication With Lighting Control Module
5. If self test is passed and no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are retrieved, go to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. See: Symptom
Related Diagnostic Procedures
6. If diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are retrieved, go to the Lighting Control Module (LCM) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Index to continue
diagnostics. See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Lighting Control Module (LCM) DTC Index
7. If the lighting control module cannot be accessed by the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester, go to Pinpoint Test EA. See: Pinpoint Tests/EA - No
Communication With Lighting Control Module
NOTE: The Rotunda Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS®) may also be used to diagnose this system.
