WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
- Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 Ξ© between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 Ξ© between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Headlamp On Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Headlamp Off Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Flash to Pass Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal C for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool High Beam Select Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. Verify the scan tool Headlamp On Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground. Verify the scan tool Headlamp Off Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and ground. Verify the scan tool Flash to Pass Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and ground. Verify the scan tool High Beam Select Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and the control circuit terminal F. Low beam headlamps ON, verify the scan tool High Beam Select Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the control circuit terminal F for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.

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.
