DTC B2585

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor
DTC B2585 00
- Park Lamp Control Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is applied at all times to both the coil and switch sides of the PRK LAMP Relay. When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position, ground is applied through the park lamp switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a ground to the park lamp relay control circuit. This energizes the relay and applies voltage through both park lamp fuses and to all the park lamps.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
* Park lamps ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B2585 00 will set when the BCM detects a short to voltage in the park lamp relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

When DTC B2585 00 is present, the park lamps will not operate.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the park lamp relay.
2. Connect a test lamp between B+ and the control circuit terminal E5.
3. Ignition ON, command the Parking Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between commanded states.

• If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
• If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

4. If the circuit tests normal, replace the park lamp relay.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
