Description

Headlight LO relay (RH) circuit malfunction

Detection condition

  • Front body control module (FBCM) detects a short to power supply in the headlight LO relay (RH) circuit with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on).

Fail-safe function

Not applicable

Possible cause

  • Headlight LO relay (RH) malfunction

  • Front body control module (FBCM) connector or terminal malfunction

  • Short to power supply in the wiring harness between headlight LO relay (RH) terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2V

  • Front body control module (FBCM) malfunction


Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1

VERIFY FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) DTCs AGAIN

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Go to Step 6.

2

INSPECT HEADLIGHT LO RELAY (RH)

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the headlight LO relay (RH), then go to Step 5.

(See RELAY LOCATION.)

3

INSPECT FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) CONNECTOR
  • Disconnect the front body control module (FBCM) connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 5.

4

INSPECT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY IN HEADLIGHT LO RELAY (RH) CONTROL CIRCUIT
  • Verify that the headlight LO relay (RH) is removed.

  • Verify that the front body control module (FBCM) connector is disconnected.

  • Reconnect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

  • Measure the voltage at the front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2V (wiring harness-side).

  • Is the voltage 0 V?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between headlight LO relay (RH) terminal E and front body control module (FBCM) terminal 2V.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to the next step.

5

VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

6

VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
  • Are any other DTCs displayed?

Yes

Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

(See DTC TABLE [FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM)].)

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
