Turn Signal Lamps and/or Indicators Inoperative

Turn Signal Lamps and/or Indicators Inoperative

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference: Exterior Lights Schematics
Connector End View Reference: Master Electrical Component List in Wiring Systems
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2 Are only the turn signal indicators in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) inoperative? Go to Step 15  Go to Step 3 
3 Is only one turn signal lamp inoperative? Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4 Test the inoperative turn signal lamp supply voltage circuit for the following:
  • An open
  • A high resistance
  • A short to ground

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 21  Go to Step 16

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the RF, RR, LF, and LR Turn/Hazard Lamp Command parameters in the rear integration module (RIM) lighting data list.
  4. Operate the turn signal switch from the left turn to right turn positions.
Does the scan tool indicate that the RF, RR, LF, and LR Turn/Hazard Lamp Command parameters change state with the turn signal switch?
Go to Step 12  Go to Step 6

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the C1 harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  3. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper between the right front turn signal switch signal circuit and ground.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Do the right turn signals operate correctly?
Go to Step 7  Go to Step 8
