Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
- Record the Environmental Data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON THE (F926) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT
- CHECK THE (M9) HEADLAMP SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- CHECK THE (Z209) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR CONTINUITY TO GROUND
- CHECK THE BCM FOR PROPER OPERATION
- Turn the ignition off.
- Connect a jumper wire between the (Z209) Ground circuit and the (M9) Headlamp Switch Signal circuit at the Headlamp Switch harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
Is DTC: B1050-11-COLUMN SWITCH MODULE MAIN LIGHTS-CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND set as Active?
Yes
- Replace the Headlamp Switch in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SWITCH, HEADLAMP, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the open in the (M9) Headlamp Switch Signal circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 10
- CHECK (F926) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the BCM C7/G harness connector.
- Measure the resistance on the (F926) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit between the Headlamp Switch harness connector and C7/G harness connector - terminal 13.
Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the open or high resistance on the (F926) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- CHECK THE (M9) HEADLAMP SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT IN THE HARNESS CONNECTOR
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the BCM C8/H harness connector.
- Check for continuity between the (M9) Headlamp Switch Signal circuit and all other circuits on the Headlamp Switch harness connector.
- Check for continuity between the (M9) Headlamp Switch Signal circuit and all other circuits on the BCM C8/H harness connector.
Is there continuity between the (M9) Headlamp Switch Signal circuit and any other circuit(s)?
Yes
- Repair the short between the (M9) Headlamp Switch Signal circuit and the circuit that has continuity.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 10
- CHECK THE (Z209) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the BCM C8/H harness connector.
- Measure the resistance on the (Z209) Ground circuit between the Headlamp Switch harness connector and C8/H harness connector - terminal 51.
Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the open or high resistance on the (Z209) Ground circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 10
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all BCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Body Control Module (BCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
