Causes
- Blown fuse powering the relay or lighting circuit
- Faulty or stuck open entry illumination relay
- Open or damaged wiring/harness between BCM and relay coil
- Poor connector contact or corrosion at relay socket or ground
- Faulty BCM or relay driver output
Symptoms
- Entry/footwell/door courtesy lamps do not illuminate when doors open
- Interior lighting only works intermittently or not at all
- Related door/entry lighting functions may be inoperative
- Possible stored additional body electrical fault codes
What to check
- Verify the code with a compatible scan tool and check freeze-frame / occurrence count
- Check fuses related to interior lighting and relay power
- Visually inspect relay, relay socket, and related connectors for corrosion or damage
- Measure for 12 V supply at relay power terminal with ignition on
- Check continuity/resistance of relay coil circuit between BCM and relay
- Confirm BCM output command when lamps should be on (use scope or DVOM for pulse/voltage)
Signal parameters
- Relay supply voltage (terminal 30): ~12 V with ignition on
- Relay coil resistance: typically 50–200 ohms (varies by relay type) — coil should not be infinite
- Control/driver command voltage from BCM: 0 V (off) and approx. 12 V or switched ground when activated (depending on system design)
- Switched output to lamps: ~12 V when relay is energized
- Open-circuit indication: continuity infinite / very high resistance in coil or control circuit
Diagnostic algorithm
- Retrieve the fault code(s) and any related body/network codes with a scan tool; note conditions when code set.
- Visually inspect the relay, relay socket, wiring harness, connectors, and associated fuses for obvious damage or corrosion.
- With ignition off, remove the entry illumination relay and check coil resistance across the relay coil terminals. Replace relay if coil is open (infinite resistance).
- Check for 12 V at the relay supply terminal with ignition on. If no supply, trace and repair fuse or supply wiring.
- Reinstall relay and back-probe the control terminal. Command the BCM to turn on the entry lights (use scan tool) and observe control voltage/ground and switched output to lamps.
- If BCM is commanding but relay does not energize and supply is present, check relay socket continuity and ground. Repair wiring or replace relay.
- If relay/relays and wiring are good but no command from BCM, inspect BCM connector pins and grounds. Check for related network faults; consider BCM programming or replacement only after wiring verified.
- Clear codes and verify repair by cycling door/opening and closing to confirm lamps operate and code does not return.
Likely causes
- Relay coil open (internal relay failure)
- Broken wire, chafed harness, or pinched connector in relay control circuit
- Blown fuse upstream of relay supply
- Corroded terminals at relay socket or ground point
- BCM driver transistor fault or software/firmware issue
Fault status
Status
Entry illumination relay open circuit detected. Circuit continuity interrupted between BCM and relay or relay coil open; entry lighting may not function.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
