Circuit/System Description
When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the headlamps high or flash to pass (FTP) position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the headlamp high beam signal circuit or the flash to pass signal circuit. The BCM applies ground to the headlamp HIGH BEAM relay control circuit which energizes the HIGH BEAM relay. With the HIGH BEAM relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing B+ to flow through the HI BEAM fuses to the high beam headlamps. Ground for the left headlamp is supplied at G100 and the right headlamp receives ground at G101.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
| • | Headlamps ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B2580 00 will set when the BCM detects a short to voltage in the headlamp HIGH BEAM relay control circuit.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
When DTC B2580 00 is present, the high beam headlamps and flash to pass (FTP) 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 X4 harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal C3 and B+.
- Command the High Beam Relay Command 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, test or 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 open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
