B1633-LEFT HIGH BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW

B1633-LEFT HIGH BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW



For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.


Theory of Operation

The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) receives a bus message requesting high beam lamp illumination. When this bus message is received, the TIPM provides a voltage output through the high beam driver circuit. The high beam driver circuit connects to the High Beam Lamp. A headlamp return signal circuit is used instead of a ground circuit.


Possible Causes

(L33) LEFT HIGH BEAM DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(L33) LEFT HIGH BEAM DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (L911) LEFT HEADLAMP RETURN SIGNAL CIRCUIT
LEFT HIGH BEAM BULB
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)

1. INTERMITTENT CONDITION


1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, clear all DTCs.
3. Turn the High Beam Headlamps on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.


Does the scan tool display DTC: B1633-LEFT HI BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes


No


2. ATTEMPT TO SET THE OPPOSITE DTC


1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Left Headlamp Lamp harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.


Does the scan tool display DTC: B1634-LEFT HI BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes


No


3. CHECK THE (L33) LEFT HIGH BEAM DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TIPM C3 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (L33) Left High Beam Driver circuit.


Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?

Yes


No


4. CHECK THE (L33) LEFT HIGH BEAM DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (L911) LEFT HEADLAMP RETURN SIGNAL CIRCUIT



1. Measure the resistance between the (L33) Left High Beam Driver circuit and the (L911) Left Headlamp Return Signal circuit.


Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?

Yes


No
