Circuit/System Description
When the headlamp switch is placed in the headlamp position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the headlamp low beam signal circuit. The BCM then applies ground to the headlamp low beam relay control circuit which energizes the low beam relay. With the low beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the LO BEAM fuses to the low beam headlamps.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
| • | Headlamps ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to voltage in the headlamp low beam relay control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The low beam headlamps 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 A5.
- Command the Low 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.
