id0902p2007300

System malfunction location

Headlight HI relay circuit malfunction

Detection condition

•  The front body control module (FBCM) detects an open or short to ground in the headlight HI relay circuit with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).

Fail-safe

—

Possible cause

•  Headlight HI relay malfunction

•  Front body control module (FBCM) connector or terminal malfunction

•  Short to ground in wiring harness between headlight HI relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2X

•  Open circuit in wiring harness between headlight HI relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2X

•  Front body control module (FBCM) malfunction

System malfunction location	Headlight HI relay circuit malfunction
Detection condition	• The front body control module (FBCM) detects an open or short to ground in the headlight HI relay circuit with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).
Fail-safe	—
Possible cause	• Headlight HI relay malfunction • Front body control module (FBCM) connector or terminal malfunction • Short to ground in wiring harness between headlight HI relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2X • Open circuit in wiring harness between headlight HI relay terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2X • Front body control module (FBCM) malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step	Inspection		Action
1	VERIFY FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) DTCs AGAIN • Clear front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)].) • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on). • Perform the front body control module (FBCM) DTC inspection using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)].) • Is DTC B109A:14 displayed?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Go to Step 7.
2	INSPECT HEADLIGHT HI RELAY FOR MALFUNCTION • Switch the ignition to off. • Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITHOUT i-stop)].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].) • Remove the headlight HI relay. • Inspect the headlight HI relay. (See RELAY INSPECTION.) • Is the headlight HI relay normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Replace the headlight HI relay, then go to Step 6.
3	INSPECT FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) CONNECTOR CONDITION • Disconnect the front body control module (FBCM) connector. • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. • Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 6.
4	INSPECT HEADLIGHT HI RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Verify that the headlight HI relay is removed. • Verify that the front body control module (FBCM) connector is disconnected. • Inspect for continuity between front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2X (vehicle wiring harness side) and body ground. • Is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 6.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT HEADLIGHT HI RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Verify that the headlight HI relay is removed. • Verify that the front body control module (FBCM) connector is disconnected. • Inspect the wiring harness for continuity between headlight HI relay terminal E (vehicle wiring harness side) and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2X (vehicle wiring harness side). • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness and go to the next step.
6	VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED • Reconnect all the disconnected connectors. • Reconnect the disconnected negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITHOUT i-stop)].) (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].) • Clear front body control module (FBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)].) • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on). • Operate the light switch in OFF position. • Perform the front body control module (FBCM) DTC inspection using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)].) • Is DTC B109A:14 displayed?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. • If the malfunction recurs, replace the front body control module (FBCM), then go to the next step. (See FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED • Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)].)
7		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
