B1042 Diagnosis

The output circuits that are powered by VBAT3 will all be inoperative. Other fault codes may be present, but troubleshoot for this first. The fuse in the main PDM powering this circuit may be open.The ICU reads the wiper switch position and sends the status of the switch to the BHM. This fault becomes active when the ICU reads that both LO speed and HI speed are active at the same time.

The BHM measures the current on this circuit when the headlamp output is commanded ON. This fault indicates that the left high beam headlamp circuit is drawing more current than it is designed to supply and possibly there is a wiring fault shorting this circuit to ground.
