Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks


PINPOINT TEST A : THE DRL (DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS) ARE INOPERATIVE
A1   CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE HEADLAMPS

  • Repair:
    • corrosion (install new connector or terminals – clean module pins)
    • damaged or bent pins – install new terminals/pins
    • pushed-out pins – install new pins as necessary
  • Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
  • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
