Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Headlamp High Beam Relay Control | 1 | 1 | B2580 00 | -- |
1. Headlamps Malfunction |
Voltage is applied at all times to the headlamp high beam relay from battery voltage. When the multifunction switch is placed in either the FTP or HIGH position, ground is applied through the signal circuits to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a ground to the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. This energizes the relay and applies voltage through the HI BEAM fuses to both left and right headlamp assemblies energizing the high beam solenoids.
• | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
• | Headlamps ON. |
DTC B2580 00 will set when the BCM detects a short to voltage in the headlamp high beam relay control circuit.
When DTC B2580 00 is present, the high beam headlamps and flash to pass (FTP) will not operate.
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
