B2610 Code - SOLVED

[dps01]

Just learning my way around a Tech2 clone that I finally ordered to assist with electrical gremlins on heated seat (still a work in progress).

While working my way thru the menus etc. I came across a Current DTC of B2610; Passenger Compartment Dimming 1 Circuit.

No indication of a problem on the instrument cluster or in operation of lighting except as indicated below..

Couple of questions:
1. On the Tech2 is there a way to determine when the code was set?
2. Can this be due to LED interior lighting upgrade? Trying to avoid re-lamping with incandescent to find out… but will if needed.

Recently installed LED interior lighting. The lights operate correctly when opening doors etc., but after operation of the vehicle for a while, the reading lamps will not come on unless you first use the lighted vanity mirror which still has incandescent bulbs. I assume that has something to do with the retained accessory power circuit? Or something else to do with the low resistance of the LED.

@swathdiver is a great resource for all things Tech 2.

I can tell you that I do not get that code on my 07, and I have replaced all incandescent bulbs, inside and outside, with LEDs.

It could be related to the LEDs or it could be a functioning but bad bulb or a faulty BCM.

thanks. appreciate this.
the attachment gives me something to go on.

I believe that I may have found the issue… intermittent backlighting for the fog light switch. Replacement bulbs on order to affix to the circuit board… I am hopeful that is the issue.

Thanks for the assistance.

Is this the same issue caused by going to led bulbs in the map lamps? Those two lamps have two settings, one for stand alone and the other with dome light on.
Was thinking of "upgrading" to some Hella yellow in place of GM # 13590791. What fog lamb bulbs did you go with? Also, are your fog lamp bulbs the original ones, some replacements, etc? Thanks
