Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH INPUT
    1. Ignition ON.
    2. Using a scan tool, view SCCM PIDs  .
    3. Using a scan tool, monitor the SCCM HEADLAMP_SW PID while placing the multifunction switch in the flash-to-pass and high beam positions.

    Do the PID values agree with the multifunction switch position? 

  2. CHECK THE BCM HIGH BEAM OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: Illuminated Headlamp.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      Always On High Beam Ground
      G08036558
      G08036559
      Headlamp Ground
      Connector-Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      Left (Halogen) C1021A-3 CLF02 (GY/BN)
      G08036560
      - Ground
      Right (Halogen) C1041A-3 CLF03 (VT/OG) - Ground
      Left (HID) C1284A-3 CLF02 (GY/BN) - Ground
      Right (HID) C1285A-3 CLF03 (VT/OG) - Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes: GO to .
    • No: INSTALL a new headlamp assembly. REFER to Headlamp Assembly .
  3. CHECK THE BCM HIGH BEAM OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: BCM C2280E.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      Always On High Beam Ground
      G08036561
      G08036562
      Headlamp Ground
      Connector-Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      Left (Halogen) C1021A-3 CLF02 (GY/BN)
      G08036563
      - Ground
      Right (Halogen) C1041A-3 CLF03 (VT/OG) - Ground
      Left (HID) C1284A-3 CLF02 (GY/BN) - Ground
      Right (HID) C1285A-3 CLF03 (VT/OG) - Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes: REPAIR the circuit in question.
    • No: GO to .
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
    1. Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    2. Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    3. Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    4. Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present?
