Turn the ignition off.
Remove the Right Tail/Stop Lamp bulb and inspect for an open filament.

Q: Is the Bulb filament open?

YES: Replace the Right Tail/Stop Lamp bulb.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test
NO: Go to 2

2. MEASURE FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT RESISTANCE





Disconnect the Right Rear Lamp Assembly harness connector.
Disconnect the Illumination Control Module harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Measure the resistance between the Right Rear Lamp Assembly harness connector and the Illumination Control Module harness connector.

Q: Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

YES: Go to 3
NO: Repair the Fused B(+) circuit for an open between the Right Rear Lamp Assembly and the Illumination Control Module.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test

3. MEASURE RIGHT TAIL/STOP LAMP VOLTAGE





Connect the Illumination Control Module harness connector.
Turn the tail lamps on.
Measure the voltage between the Right Rear Lamp Assembly harness connector cavity 2 and ground.

Q: Is the voltage above 10 volts?

YES: Go to 4
NO: Replace the Illumination Control Module.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test

4. MEASURE RIGHT TAIL/STOP LAMP GROUND CIRCUIT RESISTANCE





Turn the tail lamps off.
Measure the resistance between the Right Rear Lamp Assembly harness connector and ground.

Q: Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

YES: Ensure that the Right Tail/Stop Lamp bulb is installed properly and replace the bulb socket if necessary.
