1. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Malfunction 2. Headlamps Malfunction - Low Beam |
Battery positive voltage is applied at all times to both the coil and switched sides of the DRL PCB Relay. The daytime running lamps (DRL) are controlled by the body control module (BCM). The BCM grounds the DRL relay control circuit in order to energize the DRL PCB relay coil. With the relay energized, voltage is applied through the switch side of the relay, both LOW BEAM Fuses, and the headlamp low beam supply voltage circuits to the low beam headlamps.
• | The headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. |
• | The transmission range selector is not in the PARK position. |
The BCM detect a short to voltage in the DRL relay control circuit.
The BCM will deactivate the DRL relay for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, command the DRLs ON with a scan tool. The DRL Relay Command parameter should display On and the DRLs should illuminate.
⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block. |
⇒ | If the DRLs do not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
