Headlamp Low Beam Relay Control | 1 | 1 | B2575 00 | -- |
1. Headlamps Malfunction |
Voltage is applied at all times to the low beam headlamp relay from battery voltage. Two different inputs to the body control module (BCM) can turn ON the low beam headlamps. The headlamp switch and the ambient light sensor.
When the ambient light sensor detects a low light condition, the BCM then applies a ground to the headlamp low beam relay control circuit. This energizes the LO BEAM PCB Relay and voltage is applied through the switch side of the relay and both low beam headlamp fuses to the low beam headlamps.
When the headlamp switch is placed in the ON position, ground is applied through the headlamp switch headlamps On signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies a ground through the headlamp low beam relay control circuit. This energizes the LO BEAM PCB Relay and voltage is applied through the switch side of the relay and both low beam headlamp fuses to the low beam headlamps.
• | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
• | Headlamps ON. |
DTC B2575 00 will set when the BCM detects a short to voltage in the headlamp low beam relay control circuit.
When DTC B2575 00 is present, the low beam headlamps will not operate.
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
