Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
Each headlamp assembly contains a headlamp leveling motor that is controlled by the headlamp control module. The front and rear suspension
position sensors provide the headlamp control module with suspension position information. Each sensor receives a 5 V reference, signal, and low
reference circuits from the headlamp control module. The sensors are connected to the control arms of the front and rear suspension. As the vehicle
travels, the suspension compresses and rebounds moving the suspension position sensor arms. This causes the signal output of the sensor to change.
The headlamp control module compares the information from both suspension position sensors and adjusts the headlamp leveling as needed. The
headlamp control module is wired to each headlamp leveling motor with 4 directional motor control circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 V.
* Ignition in the ON or RUN position.
* Headlamps ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B3435 00
The headlamp control module detects a short to voltage or an open/high resistance on any of the left motor control circuits.
