  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate headlamp leveling motor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10.0 ohms between the motor control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 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.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10.0 ohms between the motor control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 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.
  4. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10.0 ohms between the motor control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If 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.
  5. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10.0 ohms between the motor control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If 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.
  6. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 3.
  7. Command the DHL motor control to the UP and DOWN positions with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test for a short to ground on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the headlamp control module.
  8. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 2 and control circuit terminal 4.
  9. Command the DHL motor control to the UP and DOWN positions with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
    • If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test for a short to ground on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the headlamp control module.
  10. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate headlamp assembly.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
