DTC B1970: Exterior Light Power Fault: Notes

BCM commands exterior lights on by energizing low beam and parking light relays. DTC B1970 will set when exterior lights have been commanded on and BCM detects a short to ground in Red/White wire between BCM and relays. When DTC B1970 is set, BCM will command exterior lights off, then attempt to turn exterior lights on until lights are no longer requested. DTC B1970 will clear when conditions for fault no longer exist or when scan tool is used. A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if conditions for fault no longer exist.

NOTE: If DTC B1970 is a history code, problem may be intermittent. Wiggle wires while performing the following test.
