Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This DTC will clear on current status after the condition for setting the fault is corrected.
A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
History and current DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool.

DTC B2580

Step	Action	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Headlights/Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Schematics Connector End View Reference: Master Electrical Component List in Wiring Systems
1	Did you perform the Lighting Systems Diagnostic System Check?	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems
2	Install a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. With a scan tool, command the high beam relay ON and OFF. Does the high beam relay turn ON and OFF with each command?	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems	Go to Step 3
3	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the high beam relay. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Probe the battery positive voltage circuit of the high beam relay with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 4	Go to Step 10
4	Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the high beam relay and the battery positive voltage circuit of the high beam relay. With a scan tool, command the high beam relay ON and OFF. Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 5
5	Does the test lamp remain illuminated with each command?	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 6
6	Test the control circuit of the high beam relay for a short to battery positive voltage or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 9
7	Test for a short to ground in the high beam headlamp relay control circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 9
8	Inspect for a high resistance or a poor connection at the high beam headlamp relay in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 12
9	Inspect for a high resistance or a poor connection at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 13
10	Inspect for a high resistance or a poor connection at the harness connectors of the underhood fuse block. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 11
11	Replace the underhood electrical center. Refer to Underhood Electrical Center or Junction Block Replacement in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repairs?	Go to Step 14	-
12	Replace the high beam headlamp relay in the underhood fuse block. Refer to Relay Replacement (Within an Electrical Center) or Relay Replacement (Attached to Wire Harness) in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 14	-
13	Replace the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement in Body Control System. Perform the setup procedure for the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Body Control System. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 14	-
14	Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text. Does the DTC reset?	Go to Step 2	System OK
