Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Envoy XL, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Listen for an audible click when the high beam relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 3:  Tests for voltage at the coil side of the high beam relay.
  3. 4:  Verifies that the body control module (BCM) is providing ground to the high beam relay.
  4. 5:  Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the high beam relay.
  5. 6:  Tests if there is opposing voltage present or an open high beam relay control circuit.
  6. 12:  After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.
DTC B2580

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference:  Headlights/Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Schematics  
1 Did you perform the Lighting Systems Diagnostic System Check? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems 
2 
  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. 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 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the high beam relay.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. 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 
  1. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the high beam relay and the battery positive voltage circuit of the high beam relay.
  2. 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 voltage or an open. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
7 Test the control circuit of the high beam relay for a short to ground. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the high beam relay. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING and WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 12 
10 Repair the battery positive voltage circuit of the high beam relay. Refer to WIRING REPAIRS in Wiring Systems.
Did you complete the repair?		 Go to Step 13  -
11 Replace the high beam relay. Refer to High Beam Relay Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 13  -
12 
IMPORTANT: Perform the setup procedure for the BCM.
Replace the body control module (BCM). Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT in Body Control System.Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 13  -
