DTC Descriptor
DTC B2595 00
- Right Cornering Lamp Control Circuit



Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is applied at all times to the right front cornering lamp PCB relay which is part of the underhood fuse block. When the turn signal switch is placed in the right turn position, ground is applied through the right turn signal switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM) The BCM then applies a ground to the right cornering lamp relay control circuit energizing the relay. With the relay energized, battery voltage is applied through the switch side of the relay, the RF CRN LAMP Fuse, and the right front cornering lamp supply voltage circuit to the right front cornering lamp.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition must be ON
* The park or headlamps must be ON
* The right turn signal must be ON
* The cornering lamp must be commanded on by the BCM


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to voltage on the right cornering lamp relay control circuit while trying to command the cornering lamp ON.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM will deactivate the cornering lamp relay for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

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

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
2. Connect a test lamp between B+ and the control circuit terminal H2.
3. Ignition ON, command the Right Cornering Lamp 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.

4. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.


Repair Instructions

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

* Underhood Electrical Center or Junction Block Replacement (Service and Repair)
* Control Module References (Programming and Relearning) for BCM replacement, setup, and programming
