High Beam Indicator Output Shorted To Battery

  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), under lower left side of instrument panel. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, erase Central Timer Module (CTM) DTCs. Turn headlights on. Actuate high beams. Using scan tool, observe CTM DTCs. If scan tool displays HIGH BEAM INDICATOR OUTPUT SHORTED TO BATTERY, go to next step. If scan tool does not display HIGH BEAM INDICATOR OUTPUT SHORTED TO BATTERY, problem is intermittent. Visually inspect and wiggle test related wiring.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Gray 26-pin Central Timer Module (CTM) connector C1. CTM is located behind left side kick panel. Disconnect Gray 10-pin instrument cluster connector C2. See Figure . Using DVOM connected to ground, measure voltage at Gray 10-pin instrument cluster connector C2 terminal No. 9 (Red/Gray wire). See Figure . If more than one volt exists, repair short to voltage in Red/Gray wire between Gray 10-pin instrument cluster connector C2 terminal No. 9 and Gray 26-pin CTM connector C1 terminal No. 18. If one volt or less exists, replace CTM. See CENTRAL TIMER MODULE  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
