Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMPS ON position, the Smart Junction Box (SJB) monitors the high beam request circuit from the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is placed in the HIGH BEAM position, the signal is routed to ground. The SJB then energizes the high beam relay (integrated into the SJB ) which supplies voltage to the headlamps.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Multifunction switch
- SJB
