Causes

  • Burned out or faulty high-beam bulb (halogen, HID ballast failure, or LED driver failure)
  • Open or shorted wiring between the lamp and the body/control module
  • Corroded or loose connector or socket at the right-front lamp
  • Faulty ground at the right-front lamp circuit
  • Blown fuse or failed high-beam relay
  • Faulty body control module (BCM) or headlamp control module output

Symptoms

  • Right-front high beam does not illuminate
  • Dashboard high-beam indicator may not activate or may flash
  • Intermittent operation or flicker of the RF high beam
  • Malfunction indicator or lamp-related warning stored in BCM
  • Uneven illumination between left and right high beams

What to check

  • Retrieve freeze-frame/data and current DTCs with scan tool; confirm B2507 is active
  • Visually inspect RF headlamp assembly, lens, and connector for corrosion, water, or damage
  • Check for blown fuses and correct relay operation for high beams
  • Verify bulb type and seating; inspect bulb filament or LED for visible damage
  • Inspect wiring harness for chafing, pinched sections, or rodent damage near RF lamp and along harness routing
  • Backprobe the RF high-beam connector while commanding high beams on/off and observe voltage and ground

Signal parameters

  • With high beams OFF: lamp positive pin ≈ 0 V (or low PWM duty)
  • With high beams ON: lamp positive pin ≈ battery voltage (approx. 11–14.5 V) for halogen/HID; LED modules may see PWM at battery-level amplitude
  • Typical halogen high-beam current draw: roughly 1–6 A (varies by lamp type); LED current lower but depends on module
  • Bulb filament resistance when cold: typically low (a few ohms) and higher when hot; measure continuity (non-infinite)
  • Open-circuit: infinite resistance between positive and lamp ground; short-to-ground: near 0 Ω between positive and vehicle ground
  • If module-driven, control output may be PWM — typical frequency range 200–2000 Hz depending on manufacturer

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Confirm the symptom and verify the DTC B2507 with a scan tool; note any related codes
  2. Visually inspect the RF lamp, connector, wiring, and mounting for damage or corrosion
  3. Check fuses and relays for the high-beam circuit; replace if faulty and retest
  4. Swap the RF high-beam bulb with the LF high-beam bulb (or known-good bulb) to determine if the bulb is faulty
  5. Backprobe the lamp connector while commanding high beams ON: verify battery voltage at the feed pin and good ground at the ground pin
  6. If no voltage at connector, trace wiring back to the fuse/relay and BCM; perform continuity and resistance checks to locate opens or shorts
  7. If voltage is present but lamp does not light and bulb is known-good, check resistance of bulb/socket and measure current draw; inspect for intermittent connection
  8. Inspect and clean connector pins and grounds; repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors (solder, crimp, or replace harness section as appropriate)
  9. If wiring and lamp are good, test output driver at BCM or headlamp module per manufacturer's diagnostic data; if module driver is faulty, follow module replacement and programming procedures
  10. After repairs, clear codes, cycle lights, and road-test to confirm repair; re-scan to ensure the DTC does not return

Likely causes

  • Failed high-beam bulb or LED module at right-front
  • Corroded/loose connector or damaged wiring (open or short) at the RF lamp
  • Poor ground connection at the RF lamp housing
  • Failed lamp control output from BCM or headlamp module
