Did you perform the Lighting Systems Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems

Verify that the low beam headlamps are inoperative.

Do the low beam headlamps operate normally?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

Is only one low beam headlamp inoperative?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5

1. Inspect the inoperative bulb for an open filament and connector for poor terminal contact and replace/repair as necessary. Refer to Headlamp Bulb Replacement or Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
2. If no problem is found, repair the open, high resistance or short to ground in the low beam headlamp supply voltage circuit or ground circuit to the inoperative lamp. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Does the wiper activated headlamp (WAH) function of the wiper system operate normally?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 6

1. Block the wheels.
2. Place the ignition switch in the RUN position with the engine OFF.
3. Place the gearshift lever in DRIVE.
4. Place the wiper switch in the LO speed position.
5. Use the scan tool to monitor the Front Wipers Active input to the body control module (BCM).

Does the scan tool display Yes after approximately 3 cycles of the wiper blades?

Go to Step 14

Go to Step 7

Test the windshield wiper switch signal 2 circuit for an open, high resistance, or short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct a condition?

Go to Step 19
