The body control module (BCM) turns ON the park lamp relay when the ambient light sensor senses a dark condition. Battery positive voltage is supplied to the park lamp relay at all times through the PARK LAMP fuse. The BCM grounds the park lamp relay control circuit in order to activate the relay.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B2588 Park Lamp Relay Output Circuit High
• | The ignition switch is in the ON position. |
• | The ambient light sensor senses a dark condition, automatic lamp control (ALC) park lamps ON. |
The park lamp relay control circuit is shorted to voltage for 1 second.
• | The BCM turns OFF the park lamp relay control circuit for the remainder of the ignition cycle. |
• | The SERVICE indicator illuminates. |
• | The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |
• | The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |
If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 2 | |
Does the park lamp relay turn ON and OFF with each command? | Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections | Go to Step 3 | |
3 | Test the control circuit of the park lamp relay for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module (BCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 6 | -- |
