B2648

DTC B2648

Circuit Description

The body control module (BCM) uses the ambient light sensor signal to control the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) System. The ambient light sensor is connected directly to the BCM.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC B2648 Ambient Light Low Reference Circuit

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 battery positive voltage or an open the DRL ambient light sensor low reference circuit.
* The BCM detects a open in the ambient light sensor signal circuit.
* The condition must be present for more than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The BCM stores DTC B2648 in memory.
* The SERVICE VEHICLE SOON telltale illuminates.
* The headlamps, the park lamps, the tail lamps and the marker lamps illuminate to low light intensity.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC B2648 clears when the BCM no longer detects the fault in the signal circuit or the low reference circuit of the DRL ambient light sensor.
* A history DTC B2648 clears after 100 consecutive ignition cycles.
* The BCM receives the Clear Code command from the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

* If the DTC B2648 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
* An intermittent short to voltage or an open in the following locations may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur:

- The low reference circuit of the DRL ambient light sensor
- The sensor circuit of the DRL ambient light sensor.
- The ambient light sensor
- The BCM
