1. High beam lamps inoperative
 

Circuit/System Description

The headlamp high beam relay is supplied with battery voltage at all times. The turn signal/multifunction switch signal circuit is grounded by pressing the turn signal/multifunction switch . The body control module (BCM) energizes the headlamp high beam relay by applying ground to the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. When the headlamp high beam relay is energized, the relay switch contacts close and battery voltage is applied through the high beam lamp fuses to the high beam lamp supply voltage circuit which illuminates the high beam lamps.

Conditions for Running the DTC

High beam lamps ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground on the control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The high beam lamps are inoperative.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, perform the High Beams test. The high beam lamps should be ON/OFF when changing between the commanded states.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.
2. Connect a test lamp between the B+ and the control circuit terminal 18 X2.
3. Push the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch between the ON and Off position. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF as the switch is cycled.
⇒ If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
⇒ If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
