Headlamp Switch Malfunction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the headlamp switch.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal 4.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Headlamp Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 6 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Auto Hdlp. Disable Sw. parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 8 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground. Verify the scan tool Headlamp Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 8 and ground. Verify the scan tool Auto Hdlp. Disable Sw. parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or and open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the headlamp switch.
