Circuit/System Description

2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Base, 4.8 CSECTION Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Switch is placed in the headlamp ON position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the headlamp low beam signal circuit. The BCM then applies ground to the HDLP LO/HID Relay control circuit which energizes the low beam relay. With the low beam relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing B+ to flow through the LOW HDLP fuses to the low beam headlamps. Ground for the left headlamp is supplied at G100 and the right headlamp receives ground at G101.
