OBD-II (EN): Headlight Switch OFF Position Circuit Fault
Code B1275 signals a problem with the main light switch off position circuit – this most often manifests as headlights that are on and cannot be turned off. The cause is most often a worn combination light switch, less frequently damage to the wiring harness or MICU controller. We recommend a quick visit to an auto electrician, as permanently on lights can lead to battery discharge.
Main lights locked in the 'on' position and unresponsive to the switch; inability to turn off lights using the standard switch; increased battery drain/discharge when parked; possible incorrect operation of other combination switch functions (turn signals, wipers).
• Damaged or worn combination light switch (cause in over 80% of cases) • Damage to the wiring harness or connector corrosion in the light switch circuit • Faulty Multiplex Integrated Control Unit (MICU) • Short or open circuit in the switch 'OFF' position signal circuit • Mechanical damage to contacts inside the steering column switch
