Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. 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 high beam 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 high beam relay.
  3. 4:  This step verifies that the BCM is providing ground to the high beam relay.
  4. 5:  This step tests if ground is constantly being applied to the high beam relay.
  5. 6:  This step tests if there is opposing voltage present or an open high beam relay control circuit, including the relay coil side.
  6. 12:  After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.

3 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the high beam relay.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the headlamp high beam relay and a good ground.
Does the test lamp illuminate?		 Go to Step 4  Go to Step 10 
4 
  1. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the high beam relay and the battery positive voltage circuit of the high beam relay.
  2. While observing the test lamp, place the headlamp switch in the ON position, and then the OFF position.
Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each cycle of the switch?		 Go to Step 8  Go to Step 5 
5  Does the test lamp remain illuminated with each cycle of the switch? Go to Step 7  Go to Step 6 
6  Test the control circuit of the high beam relay for a short to voltage or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
7 Test the control circuit of the high beam relay for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 9 
8 Inspect for poor connections at the high beam relay. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module (BCM). Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 12 
10 Repair the battery positive voltage circuit of the high beam relay. Refer to Wiring Repairs .
Did you complete the repair?		 Go to Step 13  -
11 Replace the high beam relay. Refer to Relay Replacement (Attached to Wire Harness) or Relay Replacement (Within an Electrical Center) .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 13  -
