Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Move the gear selector out of the PARK position.
3. Verify that the headlamp switch is in the OFF position.
4. Expose the sunload sensor to a bright incandescent lamp.
5. Wait more than 3 seconds.

Do the DRL headlamps operate properly?

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

Go to Step 3

1. With a scan tool, select from the Dash Integration Module (DIM) Special Functions Output Controls, the Daytime Running Lamps.
2. Command the DRL relay ON and OFF.
