Pinpoint Test Ab: DTC B1D64:87, B1D65:87

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. AB1 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLAMP 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: LH Headlamp Assembly C1021 (DTC B1D64:87).
    • Disconnect: RH Headlamp Assembly C1041 (DTC B1D65:87).
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between the LH headlamp C1021-5, circuit CBP42 (GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH headlamp C1041-5, circuit CBP42 (GN), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. Yes  : GO to AB2.
    2. No  : REPAIR circuit CBP42 (GN) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  2. AB2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLAMP USING THE CONNECTOR GROUND 
    • Measure the voltage between the LH headlamp C1021-5, circuit CBP42 (GN), harness side and the LH headlamp C1021-3, circuit GD121 (BK/YE), harness side; or between the RH headlamp C1041-5, circuit CBP42 (GN), harness side and the RH headlamp C1041-3, circuit GD123 (BK/GY), harness side.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    1. Yes  : GO to AB3.
    2. No  : REPAIR circuit GD121 (BK/YE) (LH headlamp) or circuit GD123 (BK/GY) (RH headlamp) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. AB3 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE HCM AND THE HEADLAMP FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: HCM C1600.
    • For the LH headlamp, measure the resistance between the HCM C1600-17, circuit VLF32 (YE), harness side and the LH headlamp C1021-2, circuit VLF32 (YE), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. Yes  : GO to AB4.
    2. No  : REPAIR circuit VLF32 (YE) (LH headlamp) or circuit VLF33 (BU) (RH headlamp) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  4. AB4 CHECK FOR CORRECT HCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the HCM connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the HCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. Yes  : INSTALL a new HCM. REFER to HEADLAMP CONTROL MODULE (HCM)  in this service information. TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
