Pinpoint Test D: The High Beam(S) Are Always On
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- D1 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH INPUT
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SCCM DataLogger.
- Monitor the SCCM multifunction switch PID (HEADLAMP_SW) while placing the multifunction switch in the FLASH-TO-PASS, HIGH BEAM and REST positions.
Do the PID values agree with the multifunction switch position?
- Yes : GO to D2 .
- No
: INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to
STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES
. TEST the system for normal operation.
If the concern still exists, INSTALL a new SCCM . REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation.
- D2 CHECK THE BCM HIGH BEAM OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: BCM C2280E .
- Ignition ON.
Do the high beams continue to illuminate?
- Yes : GO to D3 .
- No : GO to D4.
- D3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLAMP
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inoperative Headlamp.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the LH headlamp C1021A-3 , circuit CLF02 (GY/BN), harness side and ground; or between the RH headlamp C1041A-3 , circuit CLF03 (VT/OG), harness side and ground.
Is any voltage present?
- Yes : REPAIR circuit CLF02 (GY/BN) (LH high beam) or circuit CLF03 (RH high beam) for a short to voltage. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : INSTALL a new headlamp assembly. REFER to HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY . TEST the system for normal operation.
- D4 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
- Disconnect all the BCM connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the BCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes : INSTALL a new BCM . REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
