PINPOINT TEST E : The High Beams Are On Continuously

  1. E1 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH INPUT

    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a scan tool, view SCCM PIDs.
    • Using a scan tool, monitor the SCCM HEADLAMP_SW PID while placing the multifunction switch in the flash-to-pass and high beam positions.

    Do the PID values agree with the multifunction switch position? 

    Yes  GO to  E2.
    No  INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to Steering Column Multifunction Switch . TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern still exists, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) .
  2. E2 CHECK THE BCM HIGH BEAM OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Illuminated Headlamp.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      Headlamp-Left (Halogen) C1021A-3

      Ground
      Headlamp-Right (Halogen) C1041A-3 Ground
      Headlamp-Left (HID) C1284A-3 Ground
      Headlamp-Right (HID) C1285A-3 Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes  GO to  E3.
    No  INSTALL a new headlamp assembly. Refer to Headlamp Assembly .
  3. E3 CHECK THE BCM HIGH BEAM OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: BCM C2280E.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      Headlamp-Left (Halogen) C1021A-3
      GFD33595Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground
      Headlamp-Right (Halogen) C1041A-3 Ground
      Headlamp-Left (HID) C1284A-3 Ground
      Headlamp-Right (HID) C1285A-3 Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes  REPAIR the circuit in question.
    No  GO to  E4.
  4. E4 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION

    • Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    • 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.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules - Without Intelligent Access or REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules - With Intelligent Access .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
