Did you perform the Lighting System Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems

1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
2. Place the headlamp switch in the HEAD position.
3. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the low beam position.
4. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the high beam position.

Are the low and high beam headlamps operating properly?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

Are all the headlamps inoperative?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 4

1. If the LH high beam and LH low beam are inoperative, inspect for an open in the HDLP L fuse.
2. If the RH high beam and RH low beam are inoperative, inspect for an open in the HDLP R fuse.

Is the corresponding headlamp fuse open?

Go to Step 13

Go to Step 11

1. Install the scan tool.
2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF
3. Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position.
4. With the scan tool command the headlamps relay ON.
5. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the low beam position.
6. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the high beam position.

Do the headlamps illuminate?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 6

1. Place the headlamp switch in the HEAD position.
2. Backprobe the headlamp switch signal circuit of connector C201 with a test lamp that is connected to battery voltage.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 14

1. Disconnect the headlamp switch .
2. Using a test lamp connected to battery positive voltage, probe the headlamp switch ground circuit of headlamp switch.
