Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information






Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information HCM-B104301

Condition
The Headlamp Control Module (HCM) checks the signal from the position sensors.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects that:
- The signal from the front position sensor is 0 V or above 5 V.
The control module's test for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) starts in the event of:
- Ignition switch position II.
- Battery voltage higher than 10 V.

Note! The control module can only detect the fault once the test has been started and the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored when the conditions are met.
