C1496 Diagnosis

The fuse in the main PDM powering this circuit may be open. The root cause could be excessive loads on an output, or a short to ground in the VBAT2 supply to the CHM.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.
