Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Listen for an audible click when the DRL relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 3:  This step tests for voltage at the coil side of the DRL relay.
  3. 4:  This step verifies that the BCM is providing ground to the DRL relay.
  4. 5:  This step tests if ground is constantly being applied to the DRL relay.
