Scan Tool Data List
BCM Scan Tool Data Definitions
The BCM Scan Tool Data Definitions contains a brief description of all Lighting System related BCM parameters available on the scan tool.
Circuit Description
The fog lamp relay is energized by the fog lamp switch only when the body control module (BCM) has activated the fog lamp enable circuit that supplies the fog lamp switch. The BCM will only activate the fog lamp enable circuit if the following conditions exist
- The ignition switch must be in the RUN position.
- The headlamp switch must be in the park or headlamp ON position.
- The headlamp dimmer switch must be in the low beam position.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC
DTC B2525 Front Fog Lamp Enable Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
The BCM must be commanding the fog lamp relay to energize.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
- The fault code will set when the fog lamp enable circuit is active and a short to battery positive voltage, an open or a short to ground is present.
- The condition above must be present for more than 0.3 seconds.
- If the short to battery positive voltage is on the output side of the fog lamp switch, the fault will only set when the fog lamp switch is in the ON position.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM stores DTC B2525 in memory.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- A current DTC B2525 will clear if the short to battery positive voltage, a short to ground or an open in the fog lamp enable circuit is no longer detected by the BCM.
- A history DTC B2525 will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
- The BCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
- If the DTC B2525 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to «Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections»(/buick/lacrosse/i-2004-2009/remont/body-electrical/#how-to-diagnosis-repair-the-wiring-systems-testing) in Wiring Systems.

Headlamp Assembly or Headlamp Bulb Replacement
Headlamp Aiming
The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming system. The aim has been preset at the factory and should need no further adjustment
However, If the vehicle is damaged in an accident, the headlamp aim may be affected and adjustment may be necessary.
If oncoming vehicles flash their high beams at you, this may also mean the vertical aim needs to be adjusted.
It is recommended that the vehicle is taken to your dealer for service if the headlamps need to be re-aimed. It is possible however, to re-aim the headlamps as described in the following procedure.
The vehicle should be properly prepared as follows
- The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps are 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light colored wall or other flat surface.
- The vehicle must have all four tires on a perfectly level surface which is level all the way to the wall or other flat surface.
- The vehicle should be placed so it is perpendicular to the wall or other flat surface.
- The vehicle should not have any snow, ice or mud on it.
- The vehicle should be fully assembled and all other work stopped while headlamp aiming is being done.
- The vehicle should be normally loaded with a full tank of fuel and one person or 160 lbs (75 kg) on the driver's seat.
- Tires should be properly inflated.
Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle's low-beam headlamps. The high-beam headlamps will be correctly aimed if the low-beam headlamps are aimed properly.
The vertical headlamp aiming screws are located under the hood near the headlamps.
The adjustment screw can be turned with a 6 mm male hex.
- To adjust the vertical aim on the headlamps, do the following
- Find the aim dot on the lens of the low-beam lamp.
- Measure the distance from the ground to the aim dot on the lamp. Record the distance.
- At the wall or other flat surface, measure from the ground upward the recorded distance from Step 2 and draw or tape a horizontal line the width of the vehicle.
- Turn on the low-beam headlamps and place a piece of cardboard or equivalent in front of the headlamp not being aimed. This should allow only the beam of light from the headlamp being aimed to be seen on the flat surface.
- Turn the vertical aiming screw until the headlamp beam is aimed to the horizontal tape line. The top edge of the cut-off should be positioned at the bottom edge of the horizontal tape line.
- Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for the opposite headlamp.

Exterior Lamps
The exterior lighting consist of the following lamps
- Headlamps
- Fog Lamps
- Park Lamps
- Tail Lamps
- License Lamps
- Marker Lamps
- Turn Signal Lamps
- Stop Lamps
- Backup Lamps
Headlamps
You can use the headlamps two different ways.
- Place the headlamp switch in the HEAD position for normal operations
- Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position for automatic lamp control (ALC) operation. During ALC the low beam headlamps are ON for daytime running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions at reduced intensity or low beam headlamps ON at full intensity with exterior park lamps ON in low light conditions.
The body control module (BCM) applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to the headlamp module and high beam relay in the underhood fuse block. The ground for the headlamp module is supplied from G113 or G115. For normal manual low beam operation when the headlamp switch is place in the HEAD position, ground from G202 is applied through the headlamp switch and to the BCM through the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit. The BCM then applies a PWM voltage to the headlamp module/high beam relay voltage supply circuit. The headlamp module then applies battery positive voltage through the left front (LF) and right front (RF) LO Beam fuses to the left and right low beam headlamps. The ground for the left headlamps is supplied by G101 and the ground for the right headlamp is supplied by G100.
For high beam operation, ground is applied at all times to the headlamp dimmer switch from G202. When the headlamp dimmer switch is placed in the HIGH position, ground is then applied through the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies a ground to the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. This energizes the HI Beam relay, the relay then applies battery positive voltage through the LF and RF HI BEAM fuses to the LF and RF high beam headlamps. The ground for the left headlamps is supplied by G101 and the ground for the right headlamp is supplied by G100.
The BCM then sends a class 2 message to the instrument cluster in order to illuminate the high beam indicator lamp. If the headlamp switch is left in the HEAD position, the inadvertent power control feature will turn OFF the headlamps after 10 minutes after you turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If you place the headlamp switch in the head position after the ignition switch has been turned OFF or if the ignition switch is in ACCY position, the headlamps will remain ON until you turn them OFF or until the battery runs dead.
HDLPS Suggested Indicator
If the park lamps are turned ON manually and the ambient light sensor detects a low light condition then the body control module (BCM) will send a class 2 message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the HDLP suggested indicator.
Lights ON Warning
The body control module (BCM) activates the lights ON warning as requested by the headlamp dimmer switch. The lights ON warning sounds when the following occurs
- The key is out of the ignition.
- The BCM determines that the drivers door is open, signal is low.
- The BCM determines that the headlamp switch is in the PARK or HEAD position.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
The ambient light sensor is a light-sensitive transistor that varies its voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) in response to changes in the outside (ambient) light level. When the BCM receives this signal the BCM either turns ON the just the low beam headlamps at reduced intensity for the daytime running lamp (DRL) operation or turns ON the low beam headlamps and the exterior lamps for automatic lamp control (ALC). Any function or condition that turns ON the headlamps will cancel the DRL operation. Thirty seconds after you start the engine with the headlamp switch in the OFF position, the DRL will perform one of two actions
- Illuminate the low beam headlamps at reduced intensity in daylight conditions
- Illuminate the low beam headlamps and exterior park lamps for low light conditions
The DRL operates when the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the parking brake is not set and the transmission is not in the PARK position When these conditions are met and the DRL ambient light sensor indicates daylight conditions the DRL will illuminate
Fog Lamps
The FOG LPS fuse in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the coil and switch side of the FOG LP Relay. When the fog lamp switch is placed in the ON position, ground is applied from G202 through the fog lamp switch to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a ground to the fog lamp relay control circuit. This energizes the FOG LP relay and applies battery positive voltage through the fog lamp voltage supply circuit to the left and right fog lamps. Ground is applied at all times to the left fog lamp from G101 and to the right fog lamp from G100. The park lamps are headlamps must be ON in order for the fog lamps to illuminate. Fog lamp operation will be cancelled whenever the park lamps are turned OFF or the high beams are turned ON. When the park lamps are turned ON, the BCM sends a class 2 message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the fog lamp indicator.
Park, Tail, Marker and License Lamps
The PK LAMPS fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block applies battery positive voltage to both the coil and switch side of the PARK LAMP Relay. When the headlamp switch is placed in either the HEAD or PARK position, ground is applied from G202 to the headlamp switch. The headlamp switch then applies the ground through the park lamp ON signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then applies a ground to the park lamp relay enable circuit. This energizes the PK LAMP relay, applying battery positive voltage to all the park, tail marker and license lamps. The park, tail marker and license lamps are also turned ON when the headlamps are commanded ON by the BCM for low light operation.
Remote Keyless Entry Exterior Lamp Illumination
When the remote function actuation (RFA) module receives a door unlock command from the remote function actuator transmitter, the RFA module will ground the door unlock signal to the body control module (BCM), then send a class 2 signal to the BCM indicating that an UNLOCK command has been received. The BCM then will flash the park lamps twice. With all the doors closed and the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter is used to lock the doors the park lamps will flash twice. The park lamps will not flash if the rear compartment is opened using the RKE transmitter
Turn Signal Lamps
The TURN/HAZ fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn signal lamps and hazard lamps. When the turn signal switch is place in either the TURN LEFT or TURN RIGHT position, ground is applied from G202 through the turn signal switch to the BCM the BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits. The left front turn signal lamp is grounded at G101 and the right front at G100. The left rear turn lamp is grounded at G301 and the right rear at G302.
Turn Signal Reminder
The body control module (BCM) activates the turn signal warning as requested by either turn signal switch. The turn signal warning sounds when the following occurs
- The ignition is in the RUN position.
- The turn signal switch is in either turn position, sensing, within one second, an open to battery positive voltage transition in the turn signal control circuit, left or right turn.
- The vehicle has traveled a distance of 1.2 km (0.75 mi) by counting pulses ON the vehicle speed input circuit.
The BCM turns OFF the turn signal reminder when either the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or the turn signal switch returns to the OFF position.
Hazard Lamps
The TURN/HAZ fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn signal lamps and hazard lamps. When the hazard switch is placed in to the ON position, the driver information center (DIC) sends a signal to the BCM through he hazard switch signal circuit. The BCM then flashes all of the turn signal lamps ON and OFF.
Stop Lamps
The rear turn signal lamps are also used as the stop lamps. The TURN/HAZ fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn signal/stop lamps and hazard lamps. The CHMSL/BKUP fuse in the I/P fuse block provides battery positive voltage to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL). The brake pedal position sensor receives a low reference signal and a 10-volt reference signal from the BCM. Whenever the brake pedal is applied, the brake pedal position sensor applies a variable voltage signal to the BCM through the stop lamp switch signal circuit. The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the rear turn/stop lamps and to the CHMSL, illuminating them. The left rear turn lamp is grounded at G301 and the right rear stop/turn lamp and CHMSL is grounded at G302.
Backup Lamps
The CHMSL/BKUP fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM). When the driver places the gear selector in to the REVERSE position, the powertrain control module (PCM) sends a class 2 message to the BCM. The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the backup lamp supply voltage circuit. The left backup lamp is grounded at G301 and the right backup lamp is grounded at G302.
Battery Rundown Protection/Inadvertent Power
The body control module (BCM) used in this vehicle controls the lighting system through circuits that enable both the exterior lamp functions of park, head and fog lamps as well as the interior lamps. The BCM opens these enabling circuits 20 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF with no lamp switch activity. If the ignition switch is turned to any position other than OFF or if a lamp switch is activated, during this 20 minute period the timer will reset for another 20 minutes.
Interior Lighting
The interior lighting consist of lamps that may not be dimmed (Interior Lamps) and lamps that may be dimmed (Interior Lamps Dimming).
Interior Lamps
The first group of lamps are the interior courtesy lamps that may not be dimmed manually, these include
- The dome lamp
- The instrument panel (I/P) compartment lamp
- The I/P courtesy lamps
- The rear compartment lamp
- The roof rail courtesy/reading lamps
- The sunshade vanity mirror lamps
Interior Lamps Features
The interior lamps system features the following functions
- An illuminated entry feature that illuminates the courtesy lamps when entering the vehicle or activating the remote keyless entry system.
- An illuminated exit feature that illuminates the courtesy lamps when the ignition key has been removed from the ignition.
- An inadvertent power feature that supplies voltage to all interior lamps after the ignition is turned OFF. The inadvertent power feature will deactivate all interior lamps after 20 minutes to prevent battery rundown.
- A theater dimming feature that will slowly dim the interior lamps from full brightness to OFF.
- An lamp switch assembly that illuminates the courtesy lamps.
- Individual switches for control of each interior lamp that is not illuminate with the interior lamp switch.
Courtesy/Illuminated Entry Lamps
When the body control module (BCM) is in an active state (awake) it energizes the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit. The courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit supplies voltage to all of the interior lamps, including the illuminated entry lamps (courtesy lamps). The illuminated entry lamps are turned ON when they receive a battery positive voltage from the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit of the BCM. When the ignition is in the LOCK position the BCM will apply the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit under the following conditions
- The door jamb input transitions to an active state (opening a door).
- The use of the remote keyless entry (RKE) to unlock the side doors.
When the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit and the courtesy lamp low control circuit are active the courtesy/illuminated entry lamps will illuminate. The courtesy lamps/illuminated entry lamps include the following interior lamps
- The dome lamp
- The roof rail courtesy lamps
- The I/P courtesy lamps
When the driver uses the remote function actuator transmitter to unlock the doors, the BCM will illuminate the courtesy lamps for approximately 40 seconds, unless another BCM function causes the lamps to remain active. If the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or START position the courtesy lamps will turn OFF immediately.
When the door latch switch signal circuit is active with the ignition in the OFF position the BCM will illuminate the courtesy lamps. The courtesy lamps will remain illuminated for approximately 25 seconds, after the door latch switch signal circuit becomes inactive, unless another BCM function causes the lamps to remain active. If the ignition switch is turned to either the RUN or START position the courtesy lamps will turn OFF immediately.
Courtesy/Illuminated Exit
The illuminated exit feature will activate the courtesy lamps when the key IN input of the BCM transitions from an active state to an inactive state (removing the ignition key). When the key is removed from the ignition, the key IN input to the BCM becomes inactive. The BCM will illuminate the courtesy lamps for approximately 25 seconds, unless another BCM function causes the lamps to remain active.
Inadvertent Power Feature
Inadvertent power feature provides a similar function for the interior lamps as a retained accessory power feature. The BCM will energize the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit when the BCM is in the active state (awake). When the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit is energized, it supplies voltage to all the interior lights. The BCM will continue to supply voltage to the interior lamps after the ignition is turned OFF so that the interior lamps may be operated.
The inadvertent power feature will also act as battery run down protection by deactivate the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit after 20 minutes once the BCM becomes inactive, ignition OFF and no BCM input activity.
Theater Dimming
The theater dimming feature that will slowly dim the interior lamps from full brightness to OFF. The following actions will over ride the theater dimming feature causing the courtesy lamps to deactivate immediately if no other BCM function commands the courtesy lamps ON
- A transition from active to inactive of the interior lamps switch, turning OFF the interior lamps switch
- A LOCK command from the remote keyless entry system
- A last door closed locking function, locking and closing all the doors
Courtesy Lamps Manual Operation
The courtesy lamps, may be manually operated by the lamp switch assembly. When the dimmer switch is placed in the DOME position the BCM receives a ground from the courtesy lamp switch signal circuit. Upon receiving the courtesy lamp switch signal the BCM then applies battery positive voltage to the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit, which illuminates the courtesy lamps. The voltage for all interior lamps is supplied by the courtesy lamp supply voltage circuit of the BCM, whenever the BCM is active. The interior lamp switch will override any BCM operation of the interior lamps, such as entry illumination.
Dome Lamp
The dome lamp is turned ON by the lamp switch assembly or during illuminated entry.
During illuminated entry or when the lamp switch assembly is in the DOME position, the body control module (BCM) wakes up and then energizes the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit, suppling voltage to all interior lamps.
I/P Compartment Lamp
When the I/P compartment is opened the I/P compartment lamp illuminates, if the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit of the BCM is activated, BCM awake.
The I/P compartment lamp illuminates when the courtesy lamps supply circuit of the BCM supplies voltage to the I/P compartment lamp and the I/P compartment switch closes, providing a ground path.
I/P Courtesy Lamp
The I/P courtesy lamp is turned ON by the lamp switch assembly or during illuminated entry.
During illuminated entry or when the I/P dimmer switch is DOME the BCM wakes up and then energizes the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit, suppling voltage to all interior lamps.
Rear Compartment Lamp
When the rear compartment is opened, the rear compartment lamp illuminates.
When the rear compartment is opened, the rear compartment courtesy lamp switch sends a ground signal to the BCM, waking the BCM. When the BCM wakes up it will then energize the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit, suppling voltage to the rear compartment courtesy lamp. The rear compartment courtesy lamp switch will provide a ground path for the rear compartment courtesy lamp in order to illuminate the lamp.
Roof Rail Courtesy/Reading Lamps
The roof rail courtesy lamps are turned ON by the lamp switch assembly, the individual roof rail courtesy lamp switch or during illuminated entry.
During illuminated entry or when the I/P dimmer switch is ON the BCM wakes up and then energizes the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit, suppling voltage to all interior lamps.
The roof rail courtesy/reading lamps can be turned ON from the individual roof rail courtesy lamp switch. The BCM supplies voltage through the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit when the BCM is awake. Manually turning ON the roof rail courtesy lamp switch provides a ground path.
Sunshade Vanity Mirror Lamps
When the vanity mirror cover on the sunshade is opened, the sunshade mirror lamp illuminates.
The sunshade mirror lamps receive voltage from the courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit anytime the BCM is awake. The sunshade illuminated mirror lamps receive ground from their individual switches when the sunshade is open.
Interior Lamps Dimming
The second group of lamps include lamps which may be dimmed. This group uses a combination of class 2 dimming and incandescent lamps.
- The PRNDL lamp
- The door switches and window switches
- The HVAC control head assembly
- The outside rearview mirror switches
- The driver information center (DIC)
- The radio
- The lamp switch assembly
- The steering wheel controls
- The instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- The traction control switch
When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position, ground is supplied through the headlamp switch to body control module (BCM). The BCM also applies a voltage reference and a low reference signal to the interior lamp dimmer switch. When the interior lamp switch is varied, the position of the switch is applied through the instrument panel (I/P) dimming control circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies a voltage to the interior lamps.
The lamps become illuminated when the park lamps are ON. The brightness of all the incandescent lamps is determined by a variable voltage signal from the dimmer switch and sent through the instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit. The lamps are located in various components (see schematics).
Incandescent Dimming
The incandescent lamps become illuminated when the park lamps are on. The brightness of all the incandescent lamps is determined by a variable voltage signal from the dimmer switch and sent through the instrument panel lamp supply voltage circuit. The incandescent lamps are located in various components (see schematics).
Driver Controls and Modules
The BCM module processes the inputs and the controls. The ambient light sensor supplies the BCM with a signal for daytime conditions or for low light conditions
- The BCM
- The DIC
- The IPC
Driver controls include the following components
- The I/P dimmer switch
- The door jamb switches
- The headlamp switch
- The rear compartment lid ajar switch
