Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) controls the headlamps based on the inputs explained above. When a low beam request is received, the BCM grounds the headlamp low beam relay control circuit. This energizes the coil in the headlamp low beam relay, causing the relay switch to close. This then applies B+ to both low beam high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps through the left low beam and right low beam fuses, illuminating the low beam headlamps. When a high beam request is received, the BCM grounds the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. This energizes the coil in the high beam relay, causing the relay switch to close. This then applies B+ to both low beam HID headlamps through the left high beam and right high beam fuses, illuminating the high beam headlamps.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The headlamp control module will attempt to switch ON the cornering lights.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B2575 00 or B2699 00

The DTC will set when the headlamp control module detects no signal and low voltage on the sensor signal line.

B2575 04 or B2699 04

The DTC will set when the headlamp control module detects no signal and high voltage on the sensor signal line.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connector at the inoperative headlamp lamp listed below:
  •  E13L Headlamp - Left
  •  E13R Headlamp - Right
2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the C1 Battery.
3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the appropriate headlamp ground circuit harness connector terminal 1 and ground.
If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. Reconnect the negative terminal to the C1 Battery.
5. Remove the appropriate fuse listed below:
  •  F25UA Left Headlamp
  •  F24UA Right Headlamp
6. Install a 10 A fused jumper wire between appropriate fuse output contact and B+. Verify that the appropriate headlamp illuminates.
If the headlamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the appropriate headlamp assembly or bulb.
7. If all circuits test normal, replace the K28 Headlamp Leveling Control Module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
