Headlamps

CAUTION: When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part number 3548-1358-00.

NOTE:
If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the Warranty Policy and Procedures manual (section B1.2), or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation of a new module/component.

NOTE:
Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only five digit codes. Match the five digits from the scan tool to the first five digits of the seven digit code listed to identify the fault (the last two digits give extra information read by the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).

NOTE:
When performing voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to three decimal places and with a current calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.

NOTE:
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

NOTE:
If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.

NOTE:
Prior to installation/replacement of the Headlamp assembly carry out all relevant internal visual and mechanical checks for correct cable location and termination including: checks for corroded, bent or backed out pins or terminals, incorrectly inserted connectors and harness damage due to chaffing or incorrect routing.

NOTE:
If the control module has been removed and reinstalled, carry out a DTC code clear, cycle the ignition state to off, then on. This will erase any DTCs that have been logged during the module installation procedure
