Diagnosis and Testing: SMARTBEAM®

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Dodge Charger and 2010 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: For SmartBeam® to operate, the vehicle must have the appropriate headlamp switch installed, the high beam select switch pushed forward, and the Auto Low/High option must be enabled using the customer programmable features function of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Also, both the Totally Integrated Power Module/Front Control Module (TIPM/FCM) and the Steering Control Module (SCM) must be properly configured for the automatic headlamps option using a diagnostic scan tool. See Electrical/Lamps/Lighting - Exterior/SMART BEAM - Standard Procedure

SMARTBEAM® DIAGNOSIS

CONDITION	POSSIBLE CAUSES	CORRECTION
AUTO HEADLAMPS INEFFECTIVE	1. Feature not enabled.	1. Enable Auto Low or Auto Low/High using the customer programmable features function of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
	2. Incorrect or ineffective switch.	2. Inspect, test and replace headlamp switch if required.
	3. Incorrect TIPM/FCM or SCM configuration.	3. Use a diagnostic scan tool to check and correct the TIPM/FCM or SCM configuration settings if required. See Electrical/Lamps/Lighting - Exterior - Diagnosis and Testing
	4. Ineffective circuits between sun load sensor and instrument cluster (except with SmartBeam®).	4. Test and repair sun sensor and sun sensor return circuits if required (except with SmartBeam®).
	5. Ineffective sun load sensor (except with SmartBeam®).	5. Test and replace sun load sensor if required (except with SmartBeam®).
	6. Ineffective Rain/Light Sensor Module (RSM) (with SmartBeam®).	6. Use a diagnostic scan tool to test and replace the RSM if required. See Electrical/Lamps/Lighting - Exterior - Diagnosis and Testing
	7. Area being driven in has too much ambient light.	7. Retest in darker conditions.
SMARTBEAM® INEFFECTIVE AND GREEN LED ON INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR NOT FLASHING	1. Feature not enabled.	1. Enable Auto Low/High using the customer programmable features function of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
	2. Automatic headlamps are not turned ON.	2. Turn automatic headlamps ON.
	3. High beams not selected on the control stalk.	3. Push the left multi-function switch control stalk forward to the high beam position.
	4. Vehicle speed is below 32 kilometers-per-hour (20 miles-per-hour).	4. Increase vehicle speed. SmartBeam® is not designed to operate at speeds below 32 kilometers-per-hour (20 miles-per-hour).
	5. Incorrect or ineffective switch.	5. Inspect, test and replace headlamp switch if required.
	6. Incorrect TIPM/FCM or SCM configuration.	6. Use a diagnostic scan tool to check and correct the TIPM/FCM or SCM configuration settings if required. See Electrical/Lamps/Lighting - Exterior - Diagnosis and Testing
	7. SmartBeam® imager lens dirty or obstructed.	7. Initiate the Imager Optics Test from the Demonstration Mode to confirm the function of the SmartBeam® optics. Clean imager lens and windshield or remove obstructions from the windshield glass if required.
	8. Ineffective ground circuit.	8. Test and repair open ground circuit to inside rear view mirror as required.
	9. Ineffective feed circuit.	9. Test and repair open fused run relay output circuit to inside rear view mirror if required.
	10. Loss of data bus communication.	10. Use a diagnostic scan tool to test the data bus. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Diagnosis and Testing
	11. Ineffective inside rear view mirror.	11. Use a diagnostic scan tool to test the ElectroChromic (EC) inside rear view mirror. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
	12. Area being driven in has too much ambient light.	12. Retest in darker conditions.
SMARTBEAM® INEFFECTIVE AND GREEN LED ON INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR FLASHING CONTINUALLY	1. SmartBeam® calibration required (slow flash - once-per-second).	1. Perform the SmartBeam® Calibration procedure.
	2. SmartBeam® failed calibration procedure due to improper set up (fast flash - twice-per-second).	2. Perform the SmartBeam® Calibration procedure properly.
	3. SmartBeam® failed calibration procedure due to a mechanical misalignment (fast flash - twice-per-second).	3. Use a diagnostic scan tool to retrieve the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Diagnosis and Testing Perform the appropriate SmartBeam® Imager Shim Adjustment procedure.
SMARTBEAM® INEFFECTIVE AND GREEN LED ON INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR FLASHES ONLY AFTER IGNITION IS CYCLED ON	1. Three or four flashes after cycling ignition ON.	1. Internal mirror fault - ElectroChromic (EC) system failure. Replace the EC mirror if required.
	2. Five flashes after cycling ignition ON.	2. Internal mirror fault - active light sensor system failure. Replace the EC mirror if required.
	3. Six flashes after cycling ignition ON.	3. Internal mirror fault - SmartBeam® camera (imager) failure. Replace the EC mirror if required.
