1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information | ||||
2 | Verify that the low beam high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps are inoperative. Do the low beam HID headlamps operate normally? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 | ||||
3 | Is only one low beam HID headlamp inoperative? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 5 | ||||
4 | Test for an open, high resistance or short to ground in the low beam headlamp supply voltage circuit or ground circuit up to the forward lamp harness connector at the inoperative headlamp housing. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 13 | ||||
5 | Test the headlamp dimmer switch signal and ground circuits for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct a condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 6 | ||||
6 |
Do the low beam HID headlamps illuminate? | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 7 | ||||
7 | Connect a fused jumper from ground to the low beam headlamp relay control circuit terminal at the low beam headlamp relay in the underhood fuse block. Do the low beam HID headlamps illuminate? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 11 | ||||
8 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the headlamp dimmer switch. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 12 | ||||
9 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module (BCM). Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 10 | ||||
10 | Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 14 | -- | ||||
11 | Replace the low beam headlamp relay. Refer to Relay Replacement in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 14 | -- | ||||
12 | Replace the headlamp dimmer switch. Refer to Turn Signal Multifunction Switch Replacement in Steering Wheel and Column. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 14 | -- | ||||
13 | Replace each individual component, one at a time, with a known good part to determine which component is causing the concern. Refer to Did you identify and replace the component causing the condition? | Go to Step 14 | -- | ||||
14 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | System OK | Go to Step 3 | ||||
