72499 - I06 MAIN BEAM HEADLAMPS NOT WORKING

The main beam headlamps are not working in any conditions (either in the stable lever position or flasher position);
The main beam headlamps are controlled by the Body Computer Node via a relay located in the Engine Compartment Junction Unit; the lights can be switched on/off using the following controls:

  • The main beam headlamps are controlled by the Body Computer Node via a relay located in the Engine Compartment Junction Unit; the lights can be switched on/off using the following controls:
  • 1 Command from steering column switch unit in fixed position with go ahead via the Exterior Lights Control
  • 2 Command from the steering column switch unit in "Flasher function" unstable position
  • The main beam headlamp consists of a traditional bulb (known as the "auxiliary main beam") and an electronic module connected in parallel to the bulb which supplies a coil which controls a partition which completely releases the xenon dipped headlamp.

STEPOPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUTTEST RESULTS
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Connect the Examiner diagnostic equipment to the diagnostic socket and check the following at the Body Computer Node:

  • that there are no faults in the Main Beam Headlamps Relay
  • the operation of the relay through active diagnosis
  • the plausibility of the main beam headlamps on parameter
Move on to Step 1. Presence of faults in main beam headlamps relay1. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2. The main beam headlamps relay is not activatedMove on to Step
3. Parameter not plausible Move on to Step
2RELAY SUPPLY FUSE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

6CHECK ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT JUNCTION UNIT (power circuit) ALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the continuity of the connection for the power circuit for the main beam headlamps inside the engine compartment junction unit (Wiring Diagram ) E2012 MAIN BEAMS Move on to Step Connection brokenRestore the electrical connection (Wiring Diagram ) E2012 MAIN BEAMS
7STEERING COLUMN SWITCH UNIT OPERATION CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the operation of the steering column switch unit in the main beam headlamps position (Wiring Diagram ) E2012 MAIN BEAMS Move on to Step open circuit for steering column switch unit internal lineReplace the steering column switch unit    See in Op. 5550A12 complete stalk unit - r+r for versions with air bag
8ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECK.ALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the continuity of the connections between the steering column switch unit and the Exterior Lights Control (Wiring Diagram ) E2012 MAIN BEAMS Move on to Step Interruption or no insulation for the connecting cables Restore the electrical connection (Wiring Diagram ) E2012 MAIN BEAMS
9EXTERIOR LIGHTS CONTROL OPERATION CHECK ALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the operation of the connection to earth for the exterior lights control with the dipped headlamps position switched on (See test 5540AA)    Continue following the instructions in the test 5540AA Exterior lights control operational check (C.L.E.)Move on to Step Exterior lights internal control interruptedReplace the exterior lights control    See in Op. 5540A20 Exterior lights SWITCH PANEL and instrument panel light dimmer - R.R.
10CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
