- All doors closed, key OFF - indicator dimming control circuit voltage = B+ (high current - enough to light a test light).
- All doors closed, key ON, engine OFF - indicator dimming control circuit voltage = diagnostic B+.
- Key ON, engine OFF. Place a shop light on the DRL sensor. When the DRL sensor commands the headlights OFF, the indicator dimming
control circuit voltage, TCSCS X1 pin 4, will go from a diagnostic B+ to a true B+.

Circuit/System Verification
Key ON, engine OFF. The TCCM runs a 2 second bulb test on all indicators of the TCSCS at key ON.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: When test probing harness terminals, it is imperative to use the proper test probe from the most current version of the J 35616 - GM
terminal test kit. Use of an improper test probe may deform the terminal, resulting in intermittent open conditions.
1. Remove key. Disconnect the X1 connector at the transfer case shift control switch (TCSCS).
2. Door open, key ON, engine OFF. Using the L-BU probe J 35616-64B, test for a diagnostic B+ (+0.0/-1.0 V) between the indicator dimming
control circuit, TCSCS X1 pin 4 and a good ground, such as the ground terminal of the EL-49742 - harness, black terminal.
瀚慖f the voltage is less than the specified range, test the affected circuit for an open/high resistance, short to ground or short to voltage. If all
circuits and connections test normal, test the body control module (BCM) for proper operation.
3. Using the L-BU probes J 35616-64B, test for a diagnostic B+ (+0.0/-1.0 V) between the indicator dimming control circuit, TCSCS X1 pin 4
and the 2WD HI indicator control circuit, TSCSC X1 pin 8.
瀚慖f the voltage is less than the specified range, test the 2WD HI indicator control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to power. If all
circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
4. Key OFF. Using the L-BU probe J 35616-64B, test for greater than 10 ohm between the indicator dimming control circuit, TCSCS X1 pin 4
and all other pins of the TCSCS X1.
瀚慖f the resistance is less than the specified range, test the affected circuits for a shorted together condition. If all circuits and connections
test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
5. Using the L-BU probe J 35616-64B, test for greater than 10 ohm between the 2WD HI indicator control circuit, TCSCS X1 pin 8 and all
other pins of the TCSCS X1.
瀚慖f the resistance is less than the specified range, test the affected circuits for a shorted together condition. If all circuits and connections
test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
6. Test the TCSCS for proper operation.
