Diagnostic Instructions

•	Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

•	Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

•	Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

With the headlight switch in the HEADLAMP or PARKLAMP position, the appropriate headlamp switch signal circuit is grounded through the headlight switch. The body control module (BCM) then sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster requesting the instrument cluster to illuminate the lights on indicator. With the turn signal/multifunction switch in the HIGH BEAM or FLASH TO PASS position the appropriate turn signal/multifunction switch signal circuit is grounded through the turn signal/multifunction switch. The BCM then sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster requesting the instrument cluster to illuminate the high beam indicator. The BCM will also request the instrument cluster to turn on the lights on indicator located in the driver information center anytime the headlamps are ON and the ignition is OFF or the driver door is opened.

Diagnostic Aids

This diagnostic procedure assumes that the headlamps operate as described in Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation .
