DTC Descriptor

DTC B2605 02

-
Right Daytime Running Lamps Control Circuit Short to Ground

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

When the headlight switch is placed in low beam position, the body control module (BCM) applies a voltage to the head lamps through there respective voltage supply circuits.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running, headlamp switch in AUTO position, and the ambient light is day.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to ground on the control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The right daytime running lamp is inoperative.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, command the Low Beam Relay Command ON and OFF with a scan tool. The low beam headlamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the E4H Headlamp-Right Low Beam.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the E4H Headlamp-Right Low Beam ground circuit terminal B and ground.

• If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the E4H Headlamp-Right Low Beam control circuit terminal A and ground.

4. Command the Low Beam Relay 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 signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.

• If the test lamp is always OFF, test the Signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the K9 BCM.

5. If all the circuits test normal, replace the E4H Headlamp-Right Low Beam.
