Pinpoint Test Y: The High Beam Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

When the multifunction switch is in the high beam position, a message is sent to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) communication bus. The IPC upon receipt of the high beam on message, illuminates the high beam indicator.

If the high beam status message is missing from the SJB for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the high beam indicator to the last on/off state, based upon the last known good high beam status message received.

If the high beam status message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0140:87 and defaults the high beam indicator off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- High beam concern
- SJB
- IPC



PINPOINT TEST Y: THE HIGH BEAM INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON

-------------------------------------------------
Y1 DETERMINE THE FAULT CONDITION


- Place the headlamps in the HIGH BEAM position.
- Ignition ON.
- Observe the high beam indicator.
- Does the high beam indicator illuminate?

Yes
GO to Y4.

No
LEAVE the headlamps in the HIGH BEAM position. GO to Y2.

-------------------------------------------------
Y2 CHECK THE HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS OPERATION


- Observe the high beam headlamps.
- Do the high beam headlamps operate correctly?

Yes
GO to Y3.

No
REFER to Lighting and Horns.

-------------------------------------------------
Y3 CARRY OUT THE IPC INDICATOR LAMP CONTROL ACTIVE COMMAND USING THE SCAN TOOL


- Turn off the headlamps.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IPC DataLogger.
- Select the IPC high beam indicator (HIGH_BEAM). Command the high beam indicator on and off while observing the high beam indicator.
- Does the high beam indicator illuminate when commanded on, and turn off when commanded off?

Yes
GO to Y4.

No
INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.

-------------------------------------------------
Y4 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IPC SELF-TEST


- Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC self-test.
- Are any DTCs recorded?

Yes
For DTC U0140:87, GO to Pinpoint Test AS. Pinpoint Tests AS: DTC U0140:87

For all other DTCs, REFER to DTC Charts. Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes

No
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Body Control Systems. TEST the system for normal operation.
