Pinpoint Test E: The Flash-To-Pass Feature Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) monitors input from the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is placed in the FLASH-TO-PASS position, the SCCM sends a message to the Body Control Module (BCM) over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN), indicating a flash-to-pass request. The BCM then provides voltage to the high beams.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Multifunction switch
- SCCM

PINPOINT TEST E: THE FLASH-TO-PASS FEATURE IS INOPERATIVE

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
