Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in the headlamps high or flash to pass (FTP) position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the headlamp high beam signal circuit or the flash to pass signal circuit. The BCM applies ground to the headlamp HIGH BEAM relay control circuit which energizes the HIGH BEAM relay. With the HIGH BEAM relay energized, the switch contacts close allowing B+ to flow through the HI BEAM fuses to the high beam headlamps.
