B0984 GMC Description
Battery positive voltage is applied to the headlamp control module at all times. The headlamp control module has a normal operational voltage range of about 12.5-16 V and is only fully functional with the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the headlamp switch in the AUTO position. The communications enable signal from the Body Control Module (BCM) wakes the headlamp control module microprocessor. The headlamp control module receives serial data messages from the Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM), and BCM with information regarding power mode, speed, steering angle, transmission gear selection, and headlamp switch status. The headlamp control module calculates the headlamp angle and sends commands to the left and right adaptive forward lighting system headlamp actuators. The headlamp actuators drive the headlamps to the position commanded by the headlamp control module. The headlamp control module monitors the headlamp actuator motor control circuits for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected, a DTC will be stored in memory and the driver will be notified with a message displayed over the driver information center located on the instrument cluster.
