Did you perform the Lighting Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems

1. Block the drive wheels.
2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
3. Place the gear selector in the DRIVE position.
4. Ensure the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position.
5. Ensure the ambient light sensor is not covered or has no obstruction to daylight.

Does the system operate normally?

Go to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

Is only one daytime running lamp (DRL) inoperative?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5

Test the supply and ground circuits of the affected lamp for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 16

Go to Step 15

1. Ensure the park brake is not set.
2. Install a scan tool.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. With the scan tool, observe the park brake switch parameter in the Body Control Module (BCM) data list.

Does the scan tool display RELEASED?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 6

Test the signal circuit of the park brake switch for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 16

Go to Step 10

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the DRL relay.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between battery positive voltage and the DRL supply voltage circuit of the DRL relay.

Do the DRL illuminate?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 11

Test the DRL relay control circuit of the DRL relay for a ground signal. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems

Is a ground signal present?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 9

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.
