What code's ? # code's P0 what ? Any BCM - body control module code's ? Did you do diagnostic test's for said code's ? Do you know what a factroy diagnostic flow chart is ? Is the vehicle a 4X4 or 2X4 ? What engine ? Do you know what class 2 serial data bus is ? Do you have wiring diagrams ?
Headlamp ON/OFF control is determined by the body control module (BCM) by a signal on the headlamp switch headlamp on signal circuit when the headlamp switch is in the HEAD position. When the headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, the BCM determines headlamps ON/OFF by the voltage from the ambient light sensor.

High Beams
The high beam headlamps receive voltage from the headlamp HI relay located in the underhood fuse block. The body control module (BCM) controls the relay on the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. High beam control is determined by a signal on the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit from the multifunction switch. When the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit is grounded, the BCM grounds the headlamp high beam relay control circuit, illuminating the high beam headlamps. The right and left high beam circuits are independent and are fused independently in the underhood fuse block. The right and left headlamps are grounded at G100 and G104.
The high beam indicator is illuminated when the instrument cluster receives a class 2 serial data message from the BCM that the high beams are illuminated.
Low Beams
The low beam headlamps receive voltage from the headlamp LOW relay located in the underhood fuse block. The body control module (BCM) controls the relay on the headlamp low beam relay control circuit. Low beam control is determined by a signal on the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit from the multifunction switch. When the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit is open, the BCM grounds the headlamp low beam relay control circuit, illuminating the low beam headlamps. The right and left low beam circuits are independent and are fused independently in the underhood fuse block. The right and left headlamps are grounded at G100 and G104.

DTC B2645
The body control module (BCM) monitors the ambient light sensor signal circuit in order to determine if the daytime running lights (DRL) or the auto headlights (ALC) should be turned ON in the AUTO mode. When the BCM senses the ambient light sensor signal voltage is between 1.75-4.9 volts, either the DRL will be commanded ON or the ALC will be commanded ON depending upon the amount of light received by the sensor.

    Did you clear the code's too see if all the same code's come back ? You have a few U code's , these are communication network code's . solving these may take care of the rest . There is a lot of information in factory service repair manual for all these code's . More then i can supply here . Your best , get service info from alldata or something like that .http://alldatadiy.com/?affiliate_id=9377...

    This would supply all diagnostic's for all the code's . Testing power & ground circuits to all the control modules . Testing network wiring etc...

    Circuit Description
    Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification (ID) number of the module which sent the message for state of health monitoring/node alive messages. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an ID number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that modules node alive message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit is required to send a Node Alive message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned ID number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1---. --- is equal to the 3 digit ID number of the module.

    The control module ID number list provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with an internal class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle would have a lost communication DTC set by other modules. Use the control module ID number list in order to determine which module is not communicating and the lost communications with -- - diagnostic table in order to diagnose the malfunction. When no message is detected from a learned ID number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1--- is set.

    • DTC P0054 HO2S Heater Resistance Bank 1 Sensor 2

    • DTC P0060 HO2S Heater Resistance Bank 2 Sensor 2

    The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. A heating element inside the HO2S minimizes the time required for the sensor to reach operating temperature. Voltage is provided to the heater by the ignition 1 voltage circuit through a fuse. With the engine running, ground is provided to the heater by the HO2S heater low control circuit, through a low side driver within the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM commands the heater ON or OFF to maintain a specific HO2S operating temperature range. The PCM determines the temperature by measuring the current flow through the heater. When the heater is in the ON state, the PCM will pulse the heater OFF for a duration of 50 ms, once per second. When the heater is in the OFF state, the PCM will pulse the heater ON for a duration of 50 ms, once per second. The PCM calculates the heater resistance on a cold start. This diagnostic will only run once per ignition cycle. If the PCM detects that the heater calculated resistance is not within an expected range, DTC P0054 sets for HO2S bank 1 sensor 2, or DTC P0060 sets for HO2S bank 2 sensor 2.

The MAP sensor and Knock Sensor are both very easily replaced. A better scanner will tell you which sensor is going bad on your transmission. An Autozone code reader will not tell you which sensor on the trans. is acting up. Most sensors on your trans. are very easity replaced as well. They just screw in and plug it. It's worth paying to get a "real" scan done. The trans. sensors are inexpensive and you can replace any other your listed sensors yourself.

dealer repair as it may be 1 of 3 things to be replaced:
1 - Body Control Module (BCM) 1 - Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) 1 - Sensor Diagnostic Module (SDM)

If the BCM or SDM has to be replaced the dealer will have to reprogram them to match your vehicles specifications. The instrument panel can be replaced by the vehicle owner with a few turns of a screwdriver and such

My radio on my 2005 Chevy silverado wont turn off when i turn my car open and open the door and its making my truck die, changed the ignition switch this did not help. Any other suggestions?

its making my truck die - What does that mean? Is the truck's engine shutting down while it is running, or is the battery being drained such that the engine will not start?
Is the radio ON even when the ignition switch is turned off? Your radio power wire may be connected to a point that is always on instead of to a point that is controlled by the ignition switch.

1993 Suburban dies when you turn on headlights

In most 1993 Chevy Subrubans the headlights do not have an automatic option. It is possible to get this feature installed but factor settings do not have this option installed.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2005 Silverado 3500 with 8100 gas enginne, Truck lost fuel preasure at a stop sign, I noticed no responce when applying the throttle. So I put it in park and it ran very rough until it died after the fuel...

My 2005 GMC does not have a fuel filter anywhere. Must be another great idea that an engineer came up with." we will tell them not having a filter cuts down on maintainence costs" As far as not having fuel to the engine, I would pull the line loose ane turn the key on to see if you have any fuel flow you might have to cycle the key several times as the pump will only run for 3 seconds with each key cycle, maybe a rubber line has collapsed on the inside, happens on brake lines all the time.

1999 Pontiac Sunfire won't even turn over, but the

The radio will work even with a dying or discharged battery.

First, be sure to check all of your fuses in the engine compartment.

A full battery will keep the headlights bright with the engine off. With a dying or discharged battery, the headlights will be noticeably dim.

When you turn the key to crank the engine, does the starter try to turn or make a fast clicking? If so, the battery if low or dying. If it makes a slow click then stops, then it's REALLY dying.

If you don't have a battery charger, go to Walmart and get some jumper cables. Hook up a friend's car to yours. If it starts, then the battery was low, either from a bad battery or a bad alternator.

If it doesn't, you have electrical problems, possibly a bad starter or starter solenoid.
