1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Place the headlamp switch in the ON position.
3. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the FLASH TO PASS position.

Does the flash to pass function operate properly?

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

Go to Step 3

Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the HIGH BEAM position.

Do the high beam headlamps operate properly?

Go to Step 4

Go to Headlamps Inoperative - High Beams

1. With a scan tool, observe the Flash to Pass Switch parameter in the dash integration module (DIM) inputs data list.
2. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the FLASH TO PASS position.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Flash to Pass Switch parameter is ON?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 5

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the headlamp dimmer switch.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper between the flash to pass switch signal circuit of the headlamp dimmer switch and a good ground.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Flash to Pass Switch parameter is ON?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 8

Connect a 3-amp fused jumper between the flash to pass switch signal circuit of the headlamp dimmer switch and the ground circuit of the headlamp dimmer switch.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Flash to Pass Switch parameter is ON?
