Circuit Description

The BCM monitors the voltage on CKT 524 in order to determine the amount of voltage present in the high beam circuit. The BCM will set DTC B2600 when either of the following conditions exists:

    • CKT 524 is shorted to battery voltage.
    • CKT 524 is shorted to ground and the daytime running lamps (DRL) are requested ON.

The BCM monitors CKT 524 in order to determine if either of the following lamps are ON:

    • The DRLs
    • The high beams

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The BCM commands the DRL relay ON under the following conditions:
       - There is an open in CKT 524.
       - CKT 524 is shorted to ground.
       - CKT 524 is shorted to battery voltage.
    • The system voltage is between 9.0-16.0 volts.
    • The above conditions exist for 0.5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The daytime running lamps will not operate correctly.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • A current DTC will clear after the next ignition cycle that does not contain a fault.
    • A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
    • History and current DTCs may be cleared using a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Always diagnose the first DTC that is listed on the scan tool.
    • Verify that the scan tool displays DTC B2600 as a current code before you perform diagnostics.
    • The scan tool may command the DRL relay ON. This test is located under the Special Functions menu.
    • Compare the state of the DRL relay as indicated on the scan tool with the actual state of the DRL relay.
    • Test for an inoperative high beam headlamp.
    • Use an incandescent shop light or a flashlight. Direct the lighting toward the light sensor in order to force the light sensor into a LIGHT state.
    • Inspect for loose or poor connection at all of the related components.
    • Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems.
