I have a 2022 Kenworth w900l. Left low beam does now come on, right side works. When high beams are switched on the left low beam will work. I am not getting power to the left low beam wire. Checked all fuses and they are all good. All input power going to the chassis node have power however the output pin for the left low beam at chassis node doesn’t send out power. On dash code reads Chas. Node Pwr. Input Faulty check fuse and low beam lamp fault detected. Truck only has 200,000 km. Has anyone had this issue? Have you replaced the chassis node and it fixed the problem?

I think the low beam light is a dual filament bulb if I'm remembering it right. One wire is low beam, other wire sends power when high beam is activated, 3rd wire ground.
Have you tried a new headlight? Some of these newer units with cab ECUs won't power up a circuit if it detects its open (ie unplugged or burned bulb). -

I'd have isolated the left low beam wire at the node and powered it up with a fused jumper lead to confirm the wiring was good and also checked that the headlight ground was good before throwing money at it. No idea if Paccar grounds the headlights to the frame or if ground comes back to the node though. Have to take that into account before sending power down circuits with computers in them.
Oxbow Thanks this. -
Interesting that the message states "Input fault" but you say that all the inputs are good. Circuit needs to be under load, it can be ok when unloaded but not ok with a load. Which is why a good tech will use a bulb to test the circuit under load.Attached Files:

It ended up being the chassis node. Check all wires over couple times and then decided to plug the new chassis node in and it all works now. Bit of an expensive repair.
JB7 Thanks this.
