DRL DISABLE - EXPORT ONLY

Vehicles manufactured for export markets are shipped from the assembly plant with the required standard equipment Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) enabled. It is required in these export markets that the vehicle owner be able to disable the DRL feature without the use of tools. The following procedure details the proper way to disable the DRL feature.





1. Locate the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1) on the top of the right front strut tower (2) and just behind the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) (3) in the engine compartment.
2. Unlatch and remove the cover from the top of the PDC.





3. Remove the two DRL relays (2) from the inboard receptacles of the PDC (1).
4. Reinstall the cover over the top of the PDC.

NOTE: Disabling the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) will result in Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) being set in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). These DTC should be ignored unless or until it has been confirmed that the vehicle owner did not remove the DRL relays or did not request the disabling of the DRL feature.
