Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the DRL relay by grounding the control circuit of the DRL relay coil.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range (approximately 10-16 volts). |
| • | The DRL feature must be enabled. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The BCM detects a short to ground or an open in the control circuit of the DRL relay coil when the daytime running lamps are inactive. |
| • | The condition must be present for more than 3 ms. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The BCM stores DTC B2602 in memory. |
| • | The BCM may store DTC B3857 in memory. |
| • | The SERVICE VEHICLE SOON telltale illuminates. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC B2602 clears if the BCM no longer detects a short to ground or an open in the control circuit of the DRL relay coil. |
| • | A current DTC B3857 clears if the BCM no longer detects a short to ground in the DRL relay control circuit. |
| • | A history DTC B2602 clears after 100 consecutive ignition cycles. |
| • | The BCM receives the Clear Code commend from the scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | If the DTC B2602 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
| • | An intermittent short to ground or an open in the following locations may cause an intermittent malfunction to occur: |
| - | The control circuit of the DRL relay coil |
| - | The DRL relay |
| - | The BCM |
