Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

1. Block the drive wheels.
2. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
3. Place the gear selector in the DRIVE position.
4. Ensure the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position.
5. Ensure the ambient light sensor is not covered or has no obstruction to daylight.

Does the system operate normally?

Go to Testing for Electrical Intermittents in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

Is only one daytime running lamp (DRL) inoperative?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 5

Test the DRL supply voltage circuit of the affected lamp for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 16

Go to Step 14

1. Ensure the park brake is not set.
2. Install a scan tool.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. With the scan tool, observe the park brake switch parameter in the body control module (BCM) Data List.

Does the scan tool display RELEASED?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 6

Test the signal circuit of the park brake switch for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 16

Go to Step 10

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the DRL relays.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the DRL diode supply voltage and the DRL supply voltage circuits of the DRL relays.

Do the DRL illuminate?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 8

Test for an open or high resistance in the DRL diode supply voltage circuit.

Did you find and correct the condition?
