Circuit/System Description
Battery positive voltage is applied at all times to both the coil and switched sides of the PARK LP Relay. When the headlamp switch is placed in either the HEAD or PARK position, ground is applied to the park lamp signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM responds by applying ground to the park lamp relay control circuit. This energizes the park lamp relay coil causing the relay switch contacts to close allowing battery voltage to flow through the LT PARK and RT PARK fuses to all of the park, tail, license, and marker lamps.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
| • | Park lamps ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detect a short to voltage in the park lamp relay control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The park lamps 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 K2.
- Command the Parking Lamps 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.
