Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEAD or PARK position, ground is applied to the park lamp switch ON signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM responds by applying voltage to the park lamps, tail lamps, and license lamps control circuits illuminating the park, tail, and license lamps.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.

* Park lamps ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B2585 01 and B2585 04

The BCM detects a short to voltage or an open/high resistance in the left front park lamps control circuit.

DTC B2585 02

The BCM detects a short to ground in the left front park lamps control circuit.

DTC B3867 01 and B3867 04

The BCM detects a short to voltage or an open/high resistance in the right front park lamps control circuit.

DTC B3867 02

The BCM detects a short to ground in the right front park lamps control circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC B2585 01

The left park lamps are always ON.

DTC B2585 02 and B2585 04

The left park lamps are always OFF.

DTC B3867 01

The right park lamps are always ON.

DTC B3867 02 and B3867 04

The right park lamps are always OFF.

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

DTC B2585

1. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, trunk latch latched, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate left front park lamp or left rear side marker lamp.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the appropriate ground circuit terminal listed below and ground.

* E4N park/turn signal lamp - left terminal C

* E2LR side marker lamp - left rear socket terminal

If 5 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 5 ohms

3. Connect a test lamp between the appropriate control circuit terminal listed below and ground, ignition ON.

* E4N park/turn signal lamp - left terminal A

* E2LR side marker lamp - left rear socket terminal

4. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Left Park Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.

If the test lamp is always OFF

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 body control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.

If the test lamp is always ON

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.

If the test lamp turns ON and OFF

5. Test or replace the appropriate left park/marker lamp.

DTC B3867

1. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, trunk latch latched, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate right front park lamp or right rear side marker lamp.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the appropriate ground circuit terminal listed below and ground.

* E4P park/turn signal lamp - right terminal C

* E2RR side marker lamp - right rear socket terminal

If 5 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

If less than 5 ohms

3. Connect a test lamp between the appropriate control circuit terminal listed below and ground, ignition ON.

* E4P park/turn signal lamp - right terminal A

* E2RR side marker lamp - right rear socket terminal

4. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Right Park Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.

If the test lamp is always OFF

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 body control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.

If the test lamp is always ON

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.

If the test lamp turns ON and OFF

5. Test or replace the appropriate right park/marker lamp.
