VLC 002348.06 – High Beam Lights Circuit Current High

VLC 002348.06 (VLC 2348.06)

Code: 002348.06

Shortcode: 2348.06

Description:

This error code, VLC 002348.06, indicates that the Vehicle Load Center (VLC) control unit has detected that the current in the left/right high beam light circuit exceeds the fuse rating of seven amps. This suggests a potential short circuit or excessive load in the circuit.

Reaction:

When this fault is detected, the affected high beam lights will not operate, and the circuit’s fuse may blow to prevent damage, leading to reduced visibility for the driver in low-light conditions.

Recommendations:

Inspect Wiring and Connections:

  • Examine the wiring and connectors in the high beam light circuit for any signs of short circuits, such as damaged insulation or exposed wires. Repair or replace any faulty wiring or connectors.

Check the High Beam Bulbs:

  • Ensure that the high beam bulbs are not drawing excessive current due to a fault. Replace any bulbs that are found to be faulty.

Test the Relay and Fuse:

  • Verify that the relay and fuse for the high beam light circuit are correctly rated and not faulty. Replace any blown fuses or malfunctioning relays with the correct ratings.

Measure Circuit Current:

  • Use a multimeter to measure the current in the high beam light circuit to confirm it exceeds seven amps. Identify and rectify any sources of excessive current draw.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the problem persists, contact technical support for further diagnostics. Provide detailed information about the fault and the steps taken to resolve it.

Note:

High current in the high beam light circuit can be caused by factors such as short circuits, mechanical faults in the bulbs, or incorrect component ratings. Regular maintenance and careful inspection of the electrical system can help prevent such issues.
