    • Go to next step: If the parameter changes 
  5. Verify the scan tool High Beam Select Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive while commanding the high beams ON and OFF with the turn signal/multifunction switch.
    • If the parameter does not change 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch Malfunction.

    • Go to next step: If the parameter changes 
  6. Connect a test lamp between the Left Low Beam Fuse (F32UA) test point and ground, ignition ON.
  7. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Low Beam Headlamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - BCM Relay Control Malfunction

    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  8. Connect a test lamp between the Right Low Beam Fuse (F37UA) test point and ground, ignition ON.
  9. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Low Beam Headlamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - BCM Relay Control Malfunction

    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  10. Remove the test lamp.
  11. Verify the low beam headlamps turn ON and OFF when commanding the Low Beam Headlamps ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    • If the low beam headlamps do not turn ON and OFF 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Headlamps Malfunction - Low Beam (T4F or T4L).

    • Go to next step: If the low beam headlamps turn ON and OFF 
  12. Verify the high beams turn ON and OFF when commanding the High Beams ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    • If the high beams do not turn ON and OFF 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Headlamps Malfunction - High Beam.

    • Go to next step: If the high beams turn ON and OFF

    • If the automatic high beam control indicator does not turn ON and OFF 

      Refer to Automatic High Beam Select Switch Malfunction.

    • Go to next step: If the automatic high beam control indicator turns ON and OFF 
  14. NOTE:
    • Placing a towel over the ambient light sensor can simulate a dim light condition and shining an incandescent light at the ambient light sensor can simulate a bright light condition.
  15. Verify the scan tool Ambient Light Status parameter changes while switching from dim to bright ambient light conditions
    • If the parameter does not change 

      Refer to Ambient Light Sensor Malfunction.

    • Go to next step: If the parameter changes and the automatic headlamps turn ON and OFF
