Pinpoint Test 3

PINPOINT TEST 3: THE HEADLAMP ON REMINDER CHIME IS INOPERATIVE/DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation
The smart junction box (SJB) receives the headlamp switch status from the headlamp switch and the LH front door ajar status from the LH front door ajar switch through hardwired circuitry. The headlamps on warning chime sounds when the LH front door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF position, the key is not in the ignition lock cylinder, and the headlamp switch is in the PARK or HEADLAMP ON position. The SJB communicates the headlamp on chime request to the instrument cluster when the headlamps or parking lamps are on and the driver door is opened. The autolamps feature must not be selected for the headlamps on warning chime to operate.

Possible Causes
- Door ajar indication
- SJB
- Instrument cluster

Diagnostic Procedure

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