    Do the high beams operate correctly? 

    Yes  GO to  G2
    No  If one or both high beams are inoperative, GO to Pinpoint Test C  If one or both high beams are always on, GO to Pinpoint Test F 

  2. G2 CHECK THE LH (LEFT-HAND) MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH INPUT

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, view SCCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs).

    • Monitor the SCCM Flash to Pass Switch (FLASH-to-PASS) PID while placing the LH steering column multifunction switch in the FLASH-TO-PASS position.

    Does the PID value agree with the LH steering column multifunction switch position? 

    Yes  GO to  G4
    No  INSTALL a new LH steering column multifunction switch. REFER to: Steering Column Multifunction Switch LH . TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern still exists, GO to  G3

    • 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
