Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The ambient light sensor is used to monitor outside lighting conditions. The ambient light sensor provides a voltage signal that will vary between 0.2-4.9 V depending on outside lighting conditions. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5 V reference signal to the ambient light sensor which is permanently grounded. The BCM monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit to determine if outside lighting conditions are correct for either daytime running lamps (DRL) or automatic lamp control when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. In daylight conditions, the BCM will command the DRL ON by applying a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to the left and right DRL control circuits illuminating the DRL. Any function or condition that turns on the headlamps will cancel DRL operation.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
* Headlamp switch in AUTO position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B2600 01
The BCM detects a short to voltage in the left DRL control circuit.
B2600 02
The BCM detects a short to ground in the left DRL control circuit.
B2600 04
The BCM detects an open in the left DRL control circuit.
B2605 01
The BCM detects a short to voltage in the left DRL control circuit.
B2605 02
The BCM detects a short to ground in the left DRL control circuit.
B2605 04
The BCM detects an open in the left DRL control circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM will disable the affected daytime running lamp control circuit.
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 harness connector at the appropriate daytime running lamp.
2. Vehicle OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit terminal listed below and ground:
* Terminal 2 (T4A-TR6)
* Terminal 3 (T4A+TR6)
* Terminal 4 (T4F)
• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal listed below and ground:
* Terminal 3 (T4A-TR6)
* Terminal 4 (T4A+TR6)
* Terminal 5 (T4F)
4. Ignition ON.
5. Command the Dedicated Daytime Running Lamp Command ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states
• If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
• If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the faulty daytime running lamp.
