B16D3-11






B16D3-11-RIGHT DRL LAMP CONTROL - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND





For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The BCM provides a voltage output through the front daytime running lamp driver circuits to power the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) Light Emitting Diodes (LED)s, which are located in the Front Lamp unit. A ground path for the lamps is present through the harness to the body sheet metal. For additional information on the Daytime Running Lamps operation, Exterior Lamps - Operation.

- When Monitored:
With the DRL active.

- Set Condition:
When the Body Control Module (BCM) detects a low condition on the (L59) Right Daytime Running Lamp Driver circuit for more than five seconds.
