B2578
DTC B2578
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The body control module (BCM) controls the automatic headlamp relay through the headlamp relay control circuit. The BCM grounds the headlamp relay control circuit, energizing the automatic headlamp relay.
DTC DESCRIPTOR
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B2578 Headlamp Control Circuit High
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The BCM must be commanding the headlamp relay to energize.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- The BCM detects a short to battery positive voltage in the headlamp relay control circuit when the BCM tries to energize the automatic headlamp relay.
- The condition above must be present for more than 0.3 seconds.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The BCM stores DTC B2578 in memory.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- A current DTC B2578 will clear if the BCM no longer detects a short to battery positive voltage in the headlamp relay control circuit, after the ignition is cycled.
- A history DTC B2578 will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
- The BCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
- If the DTC B2578 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent.
- The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur:
- An intermittent short to battery in the automatic headlamp relay coil control circuit.
- The automatic headlamp relay coil is intermittently shorted to battery.
-The BCM is intermittently shorted to battery.
