Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Lights (MICU) Input Test (2014 2015 2016)

NOTE: 

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect driver's under-dash fuse/relay box connectors E, F, G, H, K, M, P, and Q - Refer to: Driver's Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation .

.NOTE:  All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.

3. Inspect the connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

4. With the connectors still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired results not obtained
F8 BLU Connect terminals F8 and F11 with a jumper wire Check the turn signal lights operation:
The left front turn signal light should come on.
  • Blown bulb
  • Poor ground (G201) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
F12 WHT Connect terminals F12 and F11 with a jumper wire Check the turn signal lights operation:
The right front turn signal light should come on.
  • Blown bulb
  • Poor ground (G202) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
E10 BLU Connect terminals E10 and F11 with a jumper wire Check the turn signal lights operation:
The left rear turn signal light should come on.
  • Blown bulb
  • Poor ground (G606) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
E11 GRN/WHT Connect terminals E11 and F11 with a jumper wire Check the turn signal lights operation:

  • Poor ground (G501) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
M5 WHT Connect terminals M5 and F11 with a jumper wire Check the turn signal lights operation:
The right side turn signal light and right turn signal indicator should come on.
  • Faulty LED
  • Faulty gauge control module
  • Poor ground (G507) or an open in the ground wire
  • An open or high resistance in the wire

5. Reconnect the connectors to the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, do the following input tests:
