Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

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 daytime running lamps (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.

Do you hear a click when you command the DRL relay ON and OFF?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 4

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the DRL relay.
3. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF
4. Connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit of the DRL relay coil and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 5
