Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
    3. Turn the headlamps on.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • Go to step  8

    1. Turn the headlamps off.
    2. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    3. Disconnect the Rear Headlamp Level Sensor harness connector.
    4. Disconnect the Right HIDL harness connector.
    5. Measure the resistance between ground and the (L961) Headlamp Leveling Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit in the Right HIDL harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (L963) HEADLAMP LEVELING SENSOR REAR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance of the (L961) Headlamp Leveling Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit between the Rear Headlamp Level Sensor harness connector and the Right HIDL harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (L963) HEADLAMP LEVELING SENSOR REAR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    Fig 4: Checking Headlamp Leveling Sensor Rear Signal Circuit Open Or High Resistance

    1. Measure the resistance of the (L963) Headlamp Leveling Sensor Signal circuit between the Rear Headlamp Level Sensor harness connector and the Right HIDL harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. (L961) HEADLAMP LEVELING SENSOR 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (L962) HEADLAMP LEVELING SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT 
    Fig 5: Checking Headlamp Leveling Sensor 5 Volt Supply Circuit Shorted To Headlamp Leveling Sensor Return Circuit

    1. Measure the resistance of the (L961) Headlamp Leveling Sensor 5 Volt Supply circuit and the (L962) Headlamp Leveling Sensor Return in the Right HIDL harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  7
  7. REAR HEADLAMP LEVELING SENSOR 
    1. Replace the Rear Headlamp Level Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.

      Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

    2. Ignition on, engine not running.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Turn the headlamps on.
    5. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the DTC reset or is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Test Complete.
  8. INTERMITTENT WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTORS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring harness and connectors specific to this circuit.
    3. Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit.
    4. Using the scan tool, monitor the data related to this circuit while performing the wiggle test. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Test Complete.
