Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Headlamp Control Module) (page 2 of 6) – Volvo XC90 FWD L6-3.2L VIN 98 B6324S (2007)

Headlamp Control Module: Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Checking the power supply and ground terminal

Power supply Headlamp Control Module (HCM)

Headlamp Control Module (HCM) is supplied with voltage via a voltage input on the control module.
When the ignition is on, the power input is powered and the control module is in active mode.

-

Power input 1 (#A1) is supplied power via a fuse from the system relay. This power input governs the supply of power to the Headlamp Control
Module (HCM). It will not be possible to activate the control module if there is an open-circuit.

Checking the power supply

Check the power supply cable from the system relay to headlamp control module (HCM) terminal #A1 for an open-circuit, loose connections, contact
resistance and oxidation. Check the fuse. The voltage must be approximately battery voltage.

Ground terminal Headlamp Control Module (HCM)

Headlamp Control Module (HCM) has a ground input. The ground input from the control module is connected to a ground terminal in the body via a
ground lead. See the relevant wiring diagram for further information about the ground terminal.

-

Ground input 1 #A6 is power ground and connected to the ground connection in the body.

Checking the ground terminal

Check the ground cable between headlamp control module (HCM) terminal #A6 and ground terminal. Check for an open-circuit, loose connections,
contact resistance and oxidation. At ignition on, the voltage-drop between Headlamp Control Module (HCM) ground connection and chassis connection
may not be greater than 0.5 V.
Remedy as necessary.
