DTC Descriptors

DTC B25F6 00

Left Headlamp Cooling Fan Circuit Malfunction

DTC B25F7 00

Right Headlamp Cooling Fan Circuit Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The temperature of each headlamp assembly is measured by three temperature sensors. Each headlamp assembly includes a temperature sensor for the cornering lamp LEDs, low beam LEDs, and high beam LEDs. In the case that either headlamp assembly overheats, the low beam control module activates the appropriate cooling fan.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Battery voltage must be between 9 - 16 V.
• Low beam headlamps ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC B25F6 00

The headlamp control module detects a malfunction on the left headlamp cooling fan circuit.

DTC B25F7 00

The headlamp control module detects a malfunction on the right headlamp cooling fan circuit.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

• The driver information center will display Advanced Front Lighting System Fault.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

No parts are serviceable within the headlamp assemblies so complete headlamp assembly replacement is necessary. The appropriate K135 Headlamp Low Beam Control Module, K191 Headlamp High Beam Control Module, and K166 Multifunction LED Control Module may be reused when replacing the headlamp assembly.
