2010 Cadillac CTS Sedan AWD V6-3.6L Page 586
The headlamp control module detects an overheating condition on any of the right motor control circuits.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
* When DTC B3435 or DTC B3440 sets, the headlamp control module will attempt to return the lamps to a nominal position and disable all
requests to all headlamp actuators.
* The driver information center (DIC) will display AFL Lamps Need Service.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the ignition is cycled.
* A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction-free cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate headlamp.
2. Remove the AFS 15 A fuse.
3. Ignition OFF, scan tool OFF, test for 10 ohm -25k ohm between each control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 1
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 2
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 3
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 4
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the headlamp control module.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the headlamp control
module.
4. Install the AFS 15 A fuse.
5. Ignition ON, scan tool OFF, headlamps ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between each control circuit terminal listed below and
ground.
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 1
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 2
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 3
* Headlamp leveling motor control terminal 4
瀚慖f the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the headlamp control module.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the headlamp assembly.
