Normal Operation

NOTE:
  • The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

When the high beams are turned on, the SJB/GEM routes voltage to the instrument cluster through circuit (BR/R) to illuminate the high beam indicator. The instrument cluster provides the bulb ground through circuit (B/Y).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following: 

HIGH BEAM INDICATOR PINPOINT TEST 10

PINPOINT TEST 10 THE HIGH BEAM INDICATOR IS NEVER ON
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 CHECK FOR CORRECT HIGH BEAM OPERATION
  • Turn the headlamp switch to the headlamps ON position.
  • Set the multifunction switch to the high beam position.
  • Do the high beams operate correctly? 
Yes Go to next step.
No See HEADLAMPS to continue diagnosis of the high beams.
2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
  • Place the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS OFF position.
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster connector 0922-101.
  • Place the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position.
  • Place the multifunction switch in the HIGH BEAM position.
  • Key in ON position.
  • Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster 0922-101 pin 11, circuit (BR/R), harness side and ground.
  • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
Yes Go to step 4.
No Go to next step.
3 CHECK CIRCUIT (BR/R) FOR AN OPEN
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Place the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS OFF position.
  • Disconnect: SJB/GEM J-2280a.
  • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster 0922-101 pin 11, circuit (BR/R), harness side and the SJB/GEM J-2280a pin 21, circuit (BR/R), harness side.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Go to step 5.
No REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
4 CHECK THE GROUND TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster 0922-102 pin 1, circuit (B/Y), harness side and ground.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Go to step 6.
No REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
5 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB/GEM OPERATION
  • Disconnect all the SJB/GEM connectors.
  • Check for:
    • corrosion
    • damaged pins
    • pushed-out pins
  • Connect all the SJB/GEM 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 SJB/GEM. See SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) . 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.
6 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION
  • Disconnect all the instrument cluster connectors.
  • Check for:
    • corrosion
    • damaged pins
    • pushed-out pins
    • incorrectly installed bulb sockets
    • burnt-out bulbs
  • Connect all the instrument cluster 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 instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . 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.
