4. Is the DTC B2585 present? 

YES  

Go to TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION. 

NO  

Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or ECM's connector or was repaired and 
ECM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, 
corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to 
"VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION 

Refer to DTC B2441. 

POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

1. Check open in power circuit 

1. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"  

2. Measure the resistance between tail license side marker lamp power circuit connector terminal at 

RAM side (BCM-RF2-37) and fog lamp (F18-3).  

3. Measure the resistance between tail license side marker lamp power circuit connector terminal at 

RAM side (BCM-RR2-16) and clearance lamp (R12-2). 

Specification: 0 ohms

4. Is the measured resistance within the specification? 

YES  

Go to "GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION". 

NO  

Repair open in power circuit and Go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR". 

GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

1. Check open in ground circuit 

1. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"  

2. Measure the resistance between clearance lamp ground circuit (F18-6) and chassis ground.  

3. Measure the resistance between tail license side marker lamp ground circuit (R12-1) and chassis 

ground. 

Specification: 0 ohms

Refer to DTC B2579. 

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR 

Refer to DTC B2115. 

DTC B2587 BACK UP LAMPS FOR BACK UP WARNING SYSTEM UNIT CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND 
ERROR 

COMPONENT LOCATION 

Refer to DTC B2583. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

RAM is a component of BCM that consists of DDM, ADM, IPM, FAM, IMS and cluster module. Each part of 
BCM is connected to one another through CAN communication line for efficient communication. Those 
modules control front/rear, driver/passenger seat, cluster with electrical signal and they share information with 
other modules. RAM (Rear Area Module) set up at rear-left of passenger room controls various rear lamps (tail 
lamp, rear turn signal lamp, backup lamp, stop lamp, cabin lamp), window (sliding door power window, quarter

glass, rear defogger), rear wiper and oil cap door. Received inhibitor switch (A/T: Backup lamp) signal from 
IPM through CAN line, RAM controls backup lamp. IPS is a semi-conductor element which performs roles of 
fuse and relay. In addition to those roles, it performs sensing circuit error, circuit protection. 

DTC DESCRIPTION 

B2587 is set when short to ground in backup lamp circuit is detected. 

DTC DETECTING CONDITION 

Refer to DTC B2535. 

MONITOR DTC STATUS 

1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC).  

2. Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF" & RAM: "ON"  

3. Select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode and monitor "DTC Status" parameter
