* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Diagnostic Procedure Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor
DTC B2582 00
- Headlamp High Beam Control Circuit Low

DTC B2583 00
- Headlamp High Beam Control Circuit High

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

When the body control module (BCM) receives a ground signal from the multifunction high beam or flash to pass (FTP) switch commanding to illuminate the high beam headlamps, the BCM will energize the HI/LO BEAM relay by applying B+ to the HI/LO BEAM relay control circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B2582

When the BCM receives a high beam switch on command and the front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to ground.

B2583

When the BCM receives a high beam switch off command and the front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to voltage.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The high beam headlamps will not operate or will remain always on.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* This DTC will clear on current status after the condition for setting the fault is corrected.
* A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.

Circuit/System Testing

High Beam Relay Control Circuit Test
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the HI/LO BEAM relay.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the relay ground terminal and ground.

If less than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the relay coil control circuit terminal and the ground circuit terminal.
4. Ignition ON, operate the high beam switch ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF.

If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the relay.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
