1. Interior Backlighting Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The instrument panel dimmer switch is used to increase and decrease the brightness of the interior backlighting components. The instrument panel dimmer switch provides a voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) that will increase as the brightness of the lights are increased and decrease as the brightness of the lights are decreased. The BCM provides a low reference, signal, and B+ voltage reference to the instrument panel dimmer switch. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in the desired position, the dimmed voltage setting is applied from the instrument panel dimmer switch through the instrument panel dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM interprets the signal and applies a pulse width modulated voltage through the LED dimming 1 and dimming 2 control circuits illuminating the interior backlighting to the requested level of brightness.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
Park Lamps ON.

Circuit/System Description

For headlamp operation, the body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, the three signal circuits are unaffected and the BCM relies on the ambient light sensor input to turn the headlamps and daytime running lamps ON and OFF. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the headlamp switch in the PARK LAMPS position, the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested. When the headlamp switch is in the HEADLAMP position, both the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds by commanding the park lamps and headlamps ON.

DTC B258A 00

Left Low Beam Control Circuit Malfunction

DTC B258E 00

Right Low Beam Control Circuit Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, all three signal circuits are open. When placed in the AUTO position, the BCM monitors inputs from the ambient light sensor to determine if headlamps are required or if daytime running lamps will be activated based on outside lighting conditions. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the headlamp switch in the PARK position, the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested. When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMP position, both the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds to the low beam request by applying ground to the left and right low beam relay control circuits, which energize the left and right low beam relays. With the left and right low beam relays energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the low beam fuses to the left and right low beam control modules, which illuminate the low beam LEDs.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9 - 16 V.
Low beam headlamps ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B258A 00

The left headlamp low beam control module detects an internal malfunction in the left low beam control circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

One or more of the low beam LEDs are inoperative.
The driver information center will display Failure Low Beam on Left Headlamp or Failure Low Beam on Right Headlamp.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

DTC B258A or B258E will set when one or more of the left or right low beam LEDs are inoperative. No parts are serviceable within the headlamp assemblies so complete headlamp assembly replacement is necessary. The appropriate K135 Headlamp Low Beam Control Module, K191 Headlamp High Beam Control Module, and K166 Multifunction LED Control Module may be reused when replacing the headlamp assembly.

1. Headlamps Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

Automatic Headlamps Without CE1

The body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, all three signal circuits are open. When placed in the AUTO position, the BCM monitors inputs from the ambient light sensor to determine if the headlamps are required or if daytime running lamps will be activated based on outside lighting conditions. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the headlamp switch in the PARK position, the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested. When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMP position, both the headlamp switch and park lamps ON signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds to the low beam request by applying ground to the low beam relay control circuit which energizes the low beam relay. With the low beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the low beam fuses to the low beam control circuits illuminating the low beam headlamps.

Circuit/System Description

The dome lamp switch has 3 positions: DOOR, OFF, and ON. The ON position provides a ground for continuous operation and the dome lamp will remain illuminated until the switch is placed in either the DOOR or OFF position. When in the DOOR position, the dome lamp operation is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When any door is opened, the door ajar switch contacts close and the BCM receives a door-open input. The BCM illuminates the dome lamp when any door is opened or a door lock/unlock request is activated with the key fob. After all doors have been closed, the dome lamp will remain illuminated approximately 3 seconds after the last door closes. When the driver places the dome lamp switch in the OFF position, the dome lamp will be disabled. In the event that the dome lamp were to remain illuminated for more than 10 minutes with the ignition switch in the OFF position and no doors opened, the BCM will deactivate the dome lamp control circuit to prevent total battery discharge.

Battery positive voltage is applied to the headlamp control module at all times. The headlamp control module has a normal operational voltage range of about 12.5 - 16 V and is only fully functional with the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the headlamp switch in the AUTO position. The communications enable signal from the body control module (BCM) wakes the headlamp control module microprocessor. The headlamp control module receives serial data messages from the engine control module (ECM), transmission control module (TCM), electronic brake control module (EBCM), and BCM with information regarding power mode, speed, steering angle, transmission gear selection, and headlamp switch status. The headlamp control module calculates the headlamp angle and sends commands to the left and right adaptive forward lighting system headlamp actuators. The headlamp actuators drive the headlamps to the position commanded by the headlamp control module. The headlamp control module monitors the headlamp actuator motor control circuits for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected, a DTC will be stored in memory and the driver will be notified with a message displayed over the driver information center located on the instrument cluster.

1. Adaptive Forward Lighting Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The communications enable signal from the body control module (BCM) wakes the headlamp control module microprocessor. The headlamp control module receives serial data messages from the engine control module (ECM), transmission control module (TCM), electronic brake control module (EBCM), and BCM with information regarding power mode, speed, steering angle, transmission gear selection, and headlamp switch status. The headlamp control module calculates the headlamp angle and sends commands to the left and right adaptive forward lighting system headlamp actuators. The headlamp actuators drive the headlamps to the position commanded by the headlamp control module. The headlamp control module monitors the headlamp actuator motor control circuits for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected, a DTC will be stored in memory and the driver will be notified with a message displayed over the driver information center located on the instrument cluster.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Lighting

1. Daytime Running Lamps Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The ambient light sensor is used to monitor outside lighting conditions. The ambient light sensor provides a voltage signal that will vary between 0.2 and 4.9 V depending on outside lighting conditions.

The body control module (BCM) provides a 5 V reference signal to the ambient light sensor and the HVAC control module provides a low reference ground. The BCM monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit to determine if outside lighting conditions are correct for either daytime running lamps or automatic lamp control when the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position. In daylight conditions the BCM will command the daytime running lamps ON. During low light conditions the BCM will command the low beam headlamps ON. Any function or condition that turns on the headlamps will cancel daytime running lamps operation. With the vehicle in park, the BCM commands the park lamps on which utilizes the same lamps as the daytime running lamps. Once the vehicle is in gear, the BCM then commands the daytime running lamps on with a separate circuit from the park lamps.

Lighting

1. Front Fog Lamps Malfunction
2. Front Fog Lamp Switch Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The front fog lamp relay is supplied with battery voltage at all times. The front fog lamp switch signal circuit is grounded momentarily by pressing the front fog lamp switch. The body control module (BCM) energizes the front fog lamp relay by applying ground to the front fog lamp relay control circuit. When the front fog lamp relay is energized, the relay switch contacts close and battery voltage is applied through the front fog lamp fuse to the front fog lamp control circuit which illuminates the front fog lamps. With the front fog lamp switch activated the BCM sends a message via serial data to the instrument cluster requesting the instrument cluster to illuminate the front fog indicator.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Lighting

1. Low Beam Headlamps Inoperative
2. Low Beam Headlamps Always ON

Circuit/System Description

The vehicle headlamps are controlled by the body control module (BCM) based on inputs from the headlamp switch and the turn signal/multifunction switch. The headlamp switch has four positions: OFF, AUTOMATIC LIGHT, PARKING LIGHT, and LOW BEAM. The default headlamp switch position is AUTOMATIC LIGHT, in which the BCM uses the ambient light sensor to determine when headlamps are needed. The OFF portion of the headlamp switch is a momentary switch which overrides the automatic headlamp and will turn OFF the vehicle headlamps. When in the OFF position, the headlamp switch grounds the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit, prompting the BCM to turn OFF the headlamps. The Park position of the headlamp switch will only illuminate the vehicle parking lamps.

The LOW BEAM position of the headlamp switch will illuminate both the parking lamps, as well has the headlamps. With the headlamp switch in the LOW BEAM position, the headlamp switch headlamps on signal circuit is grounded, prompting the BCM to turn on the headlamps, regardless of other factors such as ambient light.

When a low beam request is received, the BCM grounds the headlamp low beam relay control circuit.

This energizes the coil in the headlamp low beam relay, causing the relay switch to close. This then applies B+ to both low beam high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps through the left low beam and right low beam fuses, illuminating the low beam headlamps. When a high beam request is received, the BCM grounds the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. This energizes the coil in the high beam relay, causing the relay switch to close. This then applies B+ to both low beam HID headlamps through the left high beam and right high beam fuses, illuminating the high beam headlamps.

Diagnostic Aids

The following symptoms are noticeable signs of bulb failure:

Flickering light, caused in the early stages of bulb failure.
Lights go out, caused when the ballast detects excessive, repetitive bulb re-strike.
Color change - The lamp may change to a dim pink glow.

Circuit/System Description

Low Beam Headlamps (with T4A)

For headlamp operation, the body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, the three signal circuits are unaffected (open) and the BCM relies on the ambient light sensor input to turn the headlamps and daytime running lamps ON and OFF. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the headlamp switch in the PARK LAMPS position, the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested.

When the headlamp switch is in the HEADLAMP position, both the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds by commanding the park lamps and low beam headlamps ON. With the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMP or AUTO position, the BCM responds by applying battery positive voltage to the left and right low beam headlamp control circuits illuminating the low beam headlamps.

Low Beam Headlamps (with T4L)

For headlamp operation, the body control module (BCM) monitors three signal circuits from the headlamp switch. When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, the three signal circuits are unaffected (open) and the BCM relies on the ambient light sensor input to turn the headlamps and daytime running lamps ON and OFF. When the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, the headlamp switch headlamps OFF signal circuit is grounded, indicating to the BCM that the exterior lamps should be turned OFF. With the headlamp switch in the PARK LAMPS position, the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit is grounded, indicating that the park lamps have been requested.

When the headlamp switch is in the HEADLAMP position, both the headlamp switch park lamps ON signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM responds to the low beam request by applying ground to the left and right low beam relay control circuits which energizes the left and right low beam relays. With the low beam relays energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the left and right low beam fuses. Battery voltage is then applied from the low beam fuses, through the low beam control circuits to the left and right headlamp/cornering lamp control modules located in each headlamp assembly. The left and right headlamp/cornering lamp control modules respond by illuminating the low beam LED headlamps.

High Beam Headlamps (with T4A)

The high beam and flash to pass functions are contained within the turn signal/multifunction switch. The BCM provides the turn signal/multifunction switch with two signal circuits, the high beam signal circuit and the flash to pass signal circuit. When the low beam headlamps are ON and the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the high beam position, ground is applied to the BCM through the high beam signal circuit. The BCM responds to the high beam request by applying ground to the high beam relay control circuit which energizes the high beam relay. With the high beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing battery voltage to flow through the left and right high beam fuses to the high beam control circuits illuminating the left and right high beam headlamps.

High Beam Headlamps (with T4L)

The high beam and flash to pass functions are contained within the turn signal/multifunction switch. The body control module (BCM) provides the turn signal/multifunction switch with two signal circuits, the high beam signal circuit and flash to pass signal circuit. When the low beam headlamps are ON and the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the high beam position, ground is applied to the BCM through the high beam signal circuit. The BCM responds to the high beam request by sending a message via serial data to the headlamp control module. The headlamp control module responds to the high beam request by communicating via serial data with the left and right headlamp/cornering lamp control modules located in each headlamp assembly. The left and right headlamp/cornering lamp control modules respond by illuminating there respective high beam LEDs.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Lighting

1. Headlamp Leveling Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

Each headlamp assembly contains a headlamp leveling actuator that is controlled by the headlamp leveling switch. The headlamp leveling switch is supplied with ignition voltage and ground and contains a resistor ladder with 4 positions for adjusting the headlamps up or down. When the headlamp leveling switch is activated to the desired position, voltage from the B+ ignition circuit is pulled down through the resistor ladder and the voltage is applied to the left and right headlamp leveling actuators via the headlamp leveling control circuits. The headlamp leveling actuators are supplied with B+ and ground.

When the headlamp leveling switch is activated, the left and right headlamp leveling actuators respond by moving the headlamps to the desired position.

Diagnostic Aids

For testing purposes, the vehicle battery must be fully charged.

1. Headlamp Leveling Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

Automatic Headlamp Leveling (without Electronic Suspension Control)

Automatic Headlamp Leveling (with Electronic Suspension Control)

The front and rear vertical suspension acceleration sensors provide the suspension control module with suspension position information. Each sensor receives a 5 V reference, signal, and low reference circuits from the suspension control module. The vertical suspension acceleration sensors are connected to each control arm of the front and rear suspensions. As the vehicle travels, the suspension compresses and rebounds moving the vertical suspension acceleration sensors. This causes the signal output of the sensor to change. The suspension control module compares the information from all four vertical suspension acceleration sensors and adjusts the suspension as needed. The suspension control module communicates the suspension positions with the headlamp control module via serial data. The headlamp control module uses the suspension position sensor information received from the suspension control module to calculate the difference in vehicle pitch and sends a serial data message to both headlamp leveling control modules located in each headlamp assembly. The headlamp leveling control modules responds by driving their respective headlamp leveling actuators to the position commanded by the headlamp control module.

Diagnostic Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

With the headlight switch in the HEADLAMP or PARKLAMP position, the appropriate headlamp switch signal circuit is grounded through the headlight switch. The body control module (BCM) then sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster requesting the instrument cluster to illuminate the lights on indicator. With the turn signal/multifunction switch in the HIGH BEAM or FLASH TO PASS position the appropriate turn signal/multifunction switch signal circuit is grounded through the turn signal/multifunction switch. The BCM then sends a serial data message to the instrument cluster requesting the instrument cluster to illuminate the high beam indicator. The BCM will also request the instrument cluster to turn on the lights on indicator located in the driver information center anytime the headlamps are ON and the ignition is OFF or the driver door is opened.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Lighting

1. Stop Lamps Malfunction
2. Center High Mounted Stop Lamp Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The brake pedal position sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal.

The brake pedal position sensor provides an analog voltage signal that will increase as the brake pedal is applied. The body control module (BCM) provides a low reference signal and a 5 V reference voltage to the brake pedal position sensor. When the variable signal reaches a voltage threshold indicating the brakes have been applied, the BCM will apply battery voltage to the left and right stop lamp control circuits as well as the center high mounted stop lamp control circuit illuminating the left and right stop lamps and the center high mounted stop lamp.

Diagnostic Aids

When testing at the stop lamp bulb sockets, make sure all measurements and test lamp connections are in the correct terminal location and do not come in contact with each other during testing.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Lighting

1. Turn Signal Lamps and/or Indicators Malfunction
2. Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch Malfunction
3. Turn Signal Lamp Outage Detection Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

Ground is applied at all times to the turn signal/multifunction switch. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the ignition switch in the ON or START positions. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in either the TURN RIGHT or TURN LEFT position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through either the right turn or left turn signal switch signal circuit. The BCM responds to the turn signal switch input by applying a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps through there respective control circuits. When a turn signal request is received by the BCM, a serial data message is sent to the instrument cluster requesting the respective turn signal indicator be pulsed ON and OFF.
