Circuit/System Description
When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the headlamps high or flash to pass (FTP) position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the headlamp high beam signal circuit or the flash to pass switch signal circuit. The BCM applies ground to the headlamp high beam relay control circuit which energizes the high beam relay. With the high beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the HI BEAM fuses to the high beam headlamps. Ground for the left headlamp is supplied at G101 and the right headlamp receives ground at G102.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
| • | Headlamps ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B2580 01
The DTC will set when the BCM detects a short to voltage in the high beam relay control circuit.
B2580 06
The DTC will set when the BCM detects a short to ground or an open in the high beam relay control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | When DTC B2580 01 is present, the high beam headlamps and flash to pass (FTP) will not operate. |
| • | When DTC B2580 06 is present, the high beam headlamps will be ON at all times or will not operate. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
- Connect a test lamp between B+ and the control circuit terminal A2.
- Command the High Beams ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
| ⇒ | 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 an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
