Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the High Beam Headlamps on for at least 16 seconds.
    2. With the scan tool, read the Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Is the DTC active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

      • The condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension. If no problems are found, test complete.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  2. CHECK THE (L34) RIGHT HIGH BEAM DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the Headlamps off.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Disconnect the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.
    4. Disconnect the BCM C1/A harness connector.
    5. Turn the ignition on.
    6. Measure the voltage of the (L34) Right High Beam Driver circuit.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (L34) Right High Beam Driver circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (L34) RIGHT HIGH BEAM DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (L34) Right High Beam Driver circuit between the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector and the BCM C1/A harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Repair the open in the (L34) Right High Beam Driver circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z901) Ground circuit at the Left Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z902) Ground circuit at the Left Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms for both connections?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the open in the appropriate Ground circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. CHECK THE BCM 
    NOTE:

    The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

    1. Reconnect the BCM C1/A harness connector.
    2. Connect a 12-volt test light between the (L34) Right High Beam Driver circuit and (Z901) Ground circuit in the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Turn the High Beam Headlamps on.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No
