DTC B3802

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The body control module (BCM) monitors the park lamp switch on signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps on signal circuit in order to determine when the park lamps and headlamps should be illuminated. When the headlamp switch is turned to PARK, the BCM senses that the park lamp switch signal on circuit is grounded and the headlamps switch headlamps ON signal circuit is open. The BCM will then energize the park lamp relay illuminating the park lamps. When the headlamp switch is turned to HEAD, the BCM senses that the park lamp switch on signal circuit and the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit are grounded. The BCM will then energize the park lamp relay and headlamp low beam relay or high beam relay illuminating the park lamps and headlamps.
