Completed
100%
Causes
- Burnt out/incandescent bulb or failed LED module
- Open or corroded connector at the lamp
- Broken or chafed wiring/harness between lamp and BCM
- Blown fuse protecting the park lamp circuit
- Faulty ground at the lamp housing
- Vehicle body control module (BCM) output or driver failure
Symptoms
- Right-side park lamp does not illuminate when park/headlights are on
- Possible warning lamp or message on dash indicating lighting fault
- Intermittent operation if connector/wiring is loose
- Other lights normally operate (left park lamp may still work)
What to check
- Visually inspect right park lamp for burned-out bulb or damaged LED lens/module
- Inspect lamp socket and connector for corrosion, bent pins, water intrusion, or loose fit
- Check vehicle fuses related to exterior lamps (replace if blown)
- Turn park lights on and observe behavior; verify whether other lamps on same circuit function
- Wiggle-test harness near lamp while observing lamp to find intermittent connections (do safely)
- Scan vehicle with manufacturer scan tool to read lamp circuit status and any additional related codes
Signal parameters
- Command: BCM should output ~12 V to lamp circuit when park lights are ON
- Open-circuit: near-infinite resistance between lamp contact and BCM terminal when lamp removed or connector unplugged
- Typical incandescent park lamp current: ~0.5–1.0 A (varies by bulb wattage)
- Typical LED park lamp current: ~0.05–0.3 A (varies by module)
- Ground resistance: low ohms between lamp ground and chassis (
Diagnostic algorithm
- Safety first: ignition key off, wear eye protection, avoid energized circuits when unplugging connectors.
- Visually inspect the right park lamp assembly, bulb/LED, socket and connector for damage or corrosion. Replace bulb or LED module if visibly failed.
- With connector unplugged, measure resistance/continuity between the lamp contacts and the BCM harness terminal for the right park lamp. Expect continuity when lamp present or near-zero ohms to ground for ground side.
- With ignition ON and park lights commanded ON, back-probe the BCM output pin at the lamp connector. Verify ~12 V appears on the supply contact. If 12 V present but lamp does not light, replace lamp/bulb or socket.
- If no voltage at BCM output, check fuses and intermediate junctions for open circuit. Trace wiring toward BCM and check for open or damaged sections. Repair any broken wires or connectors.
- Check ground at lamp: measure voltage drop from lamp ground to chassis while lights ON (should be
- If wiring and lamp assembly are good but BCM output remains open, perform BCM driver tests per manufacturer procedures; reprogram or replace BCM only after confirming open driver and following vehicle-specific diagnostic flow.
- Clear codes and test drive or cycle lights to confirm repair; re-scan for reappearance of B2573.
Likely causes
- Failed right park lamp bulb or LED module
- Corroded/loose lamp connector or socket
- Broken wire or connector pin (open) in harness to right park lamp
- Faulty BCM lamp driver or internal open circuit
Fault status
Status
Right park lamp circuit open (no lamp/connection detected)
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5 - 1.5 hours
