DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE - HIGH BEAM INDICATOR INOPERATIVE
| TEST | ACTION | APPLICABILITY |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
NOTE:
Ensure that the Junction Block Fuse #11 is not open. If the fuse is open make sure to check for a short to ground.
NOTE:
Ensure that the Exterior High Beam Headlamps operate properly before proceeding with this test. Turn the ignition on.With the DRBIII® in MIC Actuators, actuate the Hi Beam Lamp.Did the High Beam Indicator illuminate?Yes --> Go To 2No --> Go To 6 |
All |
| 2 | Turn the ignition on. With the DRBIII® in Body Control Inputs/Outputs, read the Hi Beams state while actuating the High Beam Headlamps. Does the DRBIII® Inputs/Outputs display On? Yes --> Replace the Instrument Cluster in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Go To 3 |
All |
| 3 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Junction Block C6 harness connector. Actuate the High Beam Headlamps. Measure the voltage between the Dimmer Switch High Beam Output circuit and ground at the Junction Block C6 harness connector. Is the voltage above 10.5 volts? Yes --> Go To 4 No --> Go To 5 |
All |
| 4 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect and isolate the Negative Battery cable. Disconnect the Junction Block C6 harness connector. Disconnect the BCM from the Junction Block. Using the Wiring Diagrams as a guide, measure the resistance of the Dimmer Switch High Beam Output circuit through the Junction Block. Is the resistance above 10 ohms? Yes --> Replace the Junction Block in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the Body Control Module in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 5 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Junction Block C6 harness connector. Disconnect the Multi- Function Switch harness connector. Measure the resistance of the Dimmer Switch High Beam Output circuit. Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms? Yes --> Repair the Dimmer Switch High Beam Output circuit between the Multi- Function Switch and the Junction Block for an open. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the Multi- Function Switch in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
All |
| 6 | Turn the ignition off. Remove and inspect the High Beam Indicator bulb and socket. Is the bulb or socket defective? Yes --> Replace the High Beam Indicator Bulb or socket in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . No --> Replace the Instrument Cluster in accordance with the Service Information. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . |
