DTC B2602 Daytime Running Lamp Control Circuit Low

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range, approximately 10-16 volts.
* The DRL feature must be enabled.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The BCM detects a short to ground or an open in the control circuit of the DRL relay coil when the daytime running lamps are inactive.
* The condition must be present for more than 3 ms.

* The BCM may store DTC B3857 in memory.
* The SERVICE VEHICLE SOON telltale illuminates.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC B2602 clears if the BCM no longer detects a short to ground or an open in the control circuit of the DRL relay coil.
* A current DTC B3857 clears if the BCM no longer detects a short to ground in the DRL relay control circuit.
* A history DTC B2602 clears after 100 consecutive ignition cycles.
* The BCM receives the Clear Code commend from the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

* If the DTC B2602 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
