For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.When Monitored:With the ignition on and the Panel Illumination active.Set Condition:Panel Illumination Status LOW.Possible Causes(E12) PANEL LAMPS DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUNDA/C HEATER CONTROL LAMP (FRONT AND/OR REAR) SHORTED TO GROUNDFRONT WINDOW SWITCH LAMP SHORTED TO GROUNDSHIFT ASSEMBLY LAMP SHORTED TO GROUNDCLUSTER1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTCTurn the ignition on.With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.Activate the Panel Illumination.Wait 30 seconds.With the scan tool, read DTCs.Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?YesGo To 2NoThe condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE) 2. CHECK EACH NON-FUNCTIONING COMPONENT FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT TO GROUND

Using the wiring diagram as a guide disconnect each non-functioning component one at a time while checking for the DTC to become stored. Repeat these steps for each component.Turn the ignition off.Disconnect the non-functioning component harness connector.Turn the ignition on.Activate the Panel Illumination.With the scan tool, read DTCs.Is the DTC still active?YesGo To 3NoReplace the non-functioning component that when disconnected caused the DTC to become stored in accordance with the service information.Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE) 3. CHECK THE (E12) PANEL LAMPS DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off.Disconnect the Instrument Cluster C1 harness connector.With all (E12) Panel Lamps Driver circuit components disconnected, measure the resistance to ground on the (E12) Panel Lamps Driver Circuit from the Instrument Cluster C1 harness connector.Is the resistance less than 10K ohms?YesRepair the (E12) Panel Lamps Driver circuit for a short to ground.Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE) NoReplace the Cluster in accordance with the service information.Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
