DTC B2682 05 Cadillac STS I

Exterior Lights ~344 words

Will set when the headlamp leveling module detects an open or short to voltage in the right headlamp leveling actuator motor 2 control circuit after 4 consecutive monitoring cycles.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

When DTC B2682 sets, the headlamp leveling module will disable all requests to both headlamp leveling actuators.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  1. The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
  2. You issue a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command.
  3. A history DTC will clear once 40 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

Thoroughly inspect the wiring and connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis causing part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

DTC B2682

Circuit Description

The front suspension position sensor provides the headlamp level controller with front suspension position information. The sensor is permanently grounded and has voltage supplied with the ignition in the ON or CRANK position. The sensor arm is connected to the control arm of the front suspension. As the vehicle travels, the suspension compresses and rebounds moving the suspension position sensor arm. This causes the signal output of the sensor to change. The headlamp level controller compares this information with the rear suspension position sensor information and adjusts the headlamp leveling as needed. For more detailed information concerning headlamp leveling operation, refer to Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation .
