1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Turn OFF the wipers.
3. Position the headlamps switch in the AUTO position.
4. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
5. Move the gear selector out of park position.
6. Verify the parking brake is disengaged.
7. Expose the sunload sensor assembly to a bright light.
8. Observe the headlamps.
9. Wait about 20 seconds.
10. Cover the sunload sensor assembly.
11. Wait about 20 seconds.
12. Place the gear selector in the park position.
13. Release the brake pedal.
14. Turn OFF the ignition.

Do the headlamps switch between low beam and daytime running lamps (DRL)?

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Disconnect the turn signal/multifunction switch.
3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper between the twilight sentinel delay signal circuit of the turn signal/multifunction switch and the ground circuit of the turn signal/multifunction switch.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. With a scan tool, observe the Twilight Delay Pot data parameter in the instrument panel integration module (IPM) inputs data list.

Does the scan tool indicate that the Twilight Delay Pot data parameter is less than the specified value?

0.09 V

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 5

Test the ground circuit of the turn signal/multifunction switch for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?
