Turn Signal Lamps Malfunction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the BCM.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect the X4 harness connector at the BCM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative turn signal lamp.
- Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the appropriate ground circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- Left front turn signal ground terminal 1
- Right front turn signal ground terminal 1
- Left rear turn signal ground terminal B
- Right rear turn signal ground terminal B
- Left repeater ground terminal B
- Right repeater ground terminal B
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- Left front turn signal control terminal 3
- Right front turn signal control terminal 3
- Left rear turn signal control terminal H
- Right rear turn signal control terminal H
- Left repeater control terminal A
- Right repeater control terminal A
- Command the appropriate Turn Signal Lamp ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate turn signal lamp assembly.
