Circuit/System Description
|
Each headlamp assembly contains a headlamp leveling motor that is controlled by the headlight switch. The headlight switch is a resistance ladder switch and wired to each headlamp leveling motor. With the ignition in ON position the headlight switch and each headlamp leveling motor is applied to B+. Each headlamp leveling motor is permanently grounded.

Circuit/System Verification
|
Ignition ON, cycle the headlamp leveling switch in each position while observing both headlamps. Both headlamps should operate to the appropriate position when commanded.
|
1.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate inoperative headlamp assembly.
|
|
2.
|
Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 7 and ground.
|
|
3.
|
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
|
4.
|
Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 6 and ground. The test lamp should turn ON.
|
|
5.
|
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
|
|
6.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
|
7.
|
Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the ignition circuit terminal 9 and ground. The test lamp should turn ON.
|
|
8.
|
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
|
|
9.
|
Test for less than 0.3 V between the signal circuit terminal 10 and ground.
|
|
10.
|
If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
|
|
11.
|
Ignition OFF, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 10 and B+. Check fuse from jumper wire.
|
|
12.
|
If the fuse is blown, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
|
|
13.
|
Disconnect the 3 A fused jumper wire, test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit terminal 10 at the S30 Headlamp Switch and the control circuit terminal 8 at the appropriate headlamp assembly.
|
|
14.
|
If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
|
15.
|
Reconnect the harness connector at the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
|
16.
|
Ignition ON, test for 2.5-7 V between the control circuit terminal 8 at the appropriate headlamp assembly and ground. Move the switch for headlamp level control between all positions. The voltage should change with each position.
|
|
17.
|
If the voltage does not change, test or replace the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
|
18.
|
If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate headlamp assembly.
|
Static Test
|
1.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
|
2.
|
Switch the headlamp leveling switch in position 0. Test for 2.2-2.4 kΩ between the ignition circuit terminal 9 and the signal terminal 10.
|
|
3.
|
If not within the specified range replace the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
|
4.
|
Switch the headlamp leveling switch in position 1. Test for 1.9-2.2 kΩ between the ignition circuit terminal 9 and the signal terminal 10.
|
|
5.
|
If not within the specified range replace the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
|
6.
|
Switch the headlamp leveling switch in position 2. Test for 1.7-2.1 kΩ between the ignition circuit terminal 9 and the signal terminal 10.
|
|
7.
|
If not within the specified range replace the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
|
8.
|
Switch the headlamp leveling switch in position 3. Test for 1.4-1.7 kΩ between the ignition circuit terminal 9 and the signal terminal 10.
|
|
9.
|
If not within the specified range replace the S30 Headlamp Switch.
|
Perform the
Diagnostic Repair Verification
after completing the diagnostic procedure.
