The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative headlamp high beam indicator lamp condition. If the problem being diagnosed is related to
inoperative headlamp high beams, be certain to repair the headlamp system before attempting to diagnose or repair the high beam indicator lamp. If no
headlamp system problems are found, the following procedure will help locate an open in the high beam indicator lamp circuit.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING
WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE
THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO
DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the instrument cluster from the instrument panel.
2. Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the headlamps ON and select the headlamp high beams with the left multi-function switch stalk. Check
for battery voltage at the high beam indicator driver circuit cavity of the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the
instrument cluster. If OK, replace the faulty high beam indicator lamp bulb. If not OK, repair the open high beam indicator driver circuit between
the instrument cluster and the headlamp beam select (left multi-function) switch as required.
