Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The headlamp control module calculates the headlamp angle and sends commands to the left and right adaptive forward lighting system headlamp
actuators. The headlamp actuators drive the headlamps to the position commanded by the headlamp control module. The headlamp control module
monitors the headlamp actuator motor control circuits for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected,
a DTC will be stored in memory and the driver will be notified with a message displayed over the driver information center located on the
instrument cluster.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The headlamps are turned ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B257C 00
