DTC Descriptors

DTC B2585 01

-
Park Lamp Control Circuit Short to Voltage

DTC B2585 06

-
Park Lamp Control Circuit Open or Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

Battery positive voltage is applied at all times from the PARK LAMPS fuse to both the coil and switched sides of the PARK LAMP Relay in the underhood electrical center. Ground is applied to the multifunction switch at all times. When the headlamp switch is placed in either the HEAD or PARK position, ground is applied to the park lamp relay control circuit. This energizes the PARK LAMP Relay and applies battery positive voltage to all of the park, tail, license, and marker lamps.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B2585 01

The BCM detects a short to battery voltage in the park lamp relay control circuit.

B2585 06

The BCM detects an open or short to ground in the park lamp relay control circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

* When DTC B2585 01 is present, the park lamps will not operate.

* When DTC B2585 06 is present, the park lamps will remain ON.

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. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal C9 and ground.

• If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.

3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A9 and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the control circuit terminal C9 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the park lamp relay.

4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal A8 and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance.

5. Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal A9 and the control circuit terminal C8.

6. Command the Parking Lamps 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 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.

7. If all circuits test normal, replace the park lamp relay.
