Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

3: Tests for voltage at the voltage supply side of the headlamp low beam relay.
4: Verifies that the BCM is providing ground to the headlamp low beam relay.
5: Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the headlamp low beam relay.
6: Tests if there is opposing voltage present or an open headlamp low beam relay control circuit, including the relay coil side.
12: After replacement of the BCM you must calibrate the new module for proper operation.

DTC B2575

Step	Action	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Headlights/Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Schematics Connector End View Reference: Lighting Systems Connector End Views or Body Control System Connector End Views in Body Control System
1	Did you perform the Lighting Systems Diagnostic System Check?	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems
2	Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Place the headlamp switch in the ON position. Place the headlamp dimmer switch in the low beam position. Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position. Do the low beam headlamps operate as expected?	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems	Go to Step 3
3	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the headlamp low beam relay. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the headlamp low beam relay and a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 4	Go to Step 10
4	Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the headlamp low beam relay and the battery positive voltage circuit of the headlamp low beam relay. While observing the test lamp, place the headlamp switch in the ON position, and then the OFF position. Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each cycle of the switch?	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 5
5	Does the test lamp remain illuminated with each cycle of the switch?	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 6
6	Test the control circuit of the headlamp low beam relay for a short to voltage or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 9
7	Test the control circuit of the headlamp low beam relay for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 9
8	Inspect for poor connections at the headlamp low beam relay. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 11
9	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module (BCM). Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 12
10	Repair the battery positive voltage circuit of the headlamp low beam relay. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 13	-
11	Replace the headlamp low beam relay. Refer to Relay Replacement (Within an Electrical Center) or Relay Replacement (Attached to Wire Harness) in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 13	-
12	IMPORTANT: Perform the setup procedure for the BCM. Replace the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement in Body Control System.Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 13	-
13	Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text. Does the DTC reset?	Go to Step 2	System OK
