Default highbeam issue

Hello again!

My right highbeam does not work. The left one works just fine. While changing oil the mech looked at the right one and even replaced it with a new one but it didnt work. What do you guys think the problem could be?

also I've noticed that when accelerating hard, if I go off the gas completely the car will jump forward 1 or 2 times. This might be a transmission issue but the tranny works perfect so Im not sure.

Sometimes it feels like the car isnt getting all the power it should(my guess is some turbo issue).

I tried the thing tech wrote about(holding the read button and pressing backfog lights twice) and it said DTCS in car. Then I went through them until I came to TCM(I belive) and it would say something like reading or loading. I waited for about 5 minutes but no success so I gave up and turned the car off. TCM to me sounds like TURBO CONTROL MODULE? or am I making that up

The TCM is transmisison control module. The drive cycle was not complete for it.
The throttle body might need to be cleaned.

For the highbeam check the fuse in the fuse panel.

Sometimes it takes a while of driving before the computer finishes checking the system for faults. When you checked it it hadn't finished checking it for faults.

Ok, so I turned on the DTC checking again and this time I drove about 4 miles in city and 25miles hwy. The TCM still said checking for DTC. So I thought that one is not coming on anyways because something is wrong with it. I went through the others and this is what I found.
REM has DTC
ECM has DTC
CEM has DTC
DDM has DTC
CCM has DTC

also there were a few others that hadnt gone through the drivecycle but I was home so I didnt want to drive around any longer. Do you have any idea of what could be wrong? I am going to get into the TB very soon, need some reading up on it first so I dont do it wrong.

With out a scanner I cannot help that much but now a scanner should read a code out of the engine control module.
Try to get the code pulled.
