Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp: Testing and Inspection
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, refer to Lighting and Horns/Lamps for diagnosis of the headlamp system. If no headlamp system problems are found,
proceed as follows.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER TO AIRBAG SYSTEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING
WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
If the headlamp high beam indicator lamp fails to light during the bulb test (about four seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the On position),
replace the headlamp high beam indicator lamp bulb with a known good unit. If the indicator lamp still fails to operate, diagnosis of the lamp, the
instrument cluster circuitry, the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus, or the Body Control Module (BCM) should be performed with a DRB scan
tool as described in the Proper Diagnostic Procedures. For further diagnosis of the headlamp high beam indicator lamp and the instrument cluster
circuitry, see Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Panel/Instrument Cluster.
