When the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch is placed in the headlamp ON position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the headlamp low beam signal circuit. The BCM then applies ground to the HDLP LO/HID Relay control circuit which energizes the low beam relay. With the low beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing B+ to flow through the LOW HDLP fuses to the low beam headlamps. Ground for the left headlamp is supplied at G100 and the right headlamp receives ground at G101.
• | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
• | Headlamps must be 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 open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
