Low Beam Relay Circuit Shorted Lo/Open

When Monitored: Ignition in RUN and IOD fuse/connector installed.

Set Condition: This condition detects if the to beam relay has not been installed in the vehicle by monitoring the BCM to beam relay output for battery voltage applied.

Possible Causes are:

  1. Install a known-good relay in place of the Low Beam relay. Does the system now operate correctly? If yes, replace the low beam relay. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER 1  under VERIFICATION TESTS. If no, go to next step.
  2. Looking at the Junction Block, see if the relay is present. Is the relay present? If yes, go to next step. If no, install the correct relay. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER 1  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  3. For the results of this test to be valid, voltage must be present at the Junction Block C5 connector cavity No. 1. Measure the voltage of the fused B (+) circuits to Low Beam relay cavities No. 30 and 85. Is the voltage more than 10 volts at both cavities? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the junction block. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER 1  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  4. Remove the Low Beam relay from the Junction Block. Turn ignition off. Remove the Body Control Module from the Junction Block. Using an ohmmeter measure the Low Beam Relay control circuit from relay cavity No. 86 to the Junction Block Body Control Module connector cavity No. 4. Was the resistance less than 5 ohms? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the junction block. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER 1  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  5. Turn ignition off. Remove the Body Control Module from the Junction Block. Remove the Low Beam Relay from the junction block. Measure the resistance of the Low Beam Relay Control circuit. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the junction block. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER 1  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  6. Replace the Body Control Module. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER 1  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
