Turn Signal Lamps
NOTE:
The turn signal switch is integral to the left multi-function switch/SCM, which communicates with the EMIC/CCN over the LIN data bus. Before performing any of the following tests, determine whether the other functions of the left multi-function switch/SCM are operational. If the other left multi-function switch/SCM functions are ineffective, diagnose and repair that problem before attempting to repair the Turn Signal Lamps.
| CONDITION | POSSIBLE CAUSES | CORRECTION |
|---|---|---|
| ONE TURN SIGNAL LAMP DOES NOT ILLUMINATE | 1. Ineffective or missing bulb. | 1. Test and replace turn signal bulb if required. |
| 2. Ineffective ground circuit. | 2. Test and repair open ground circuit if required. | |
| 3. Ineffective feed circuit. | 3. Test and repair open right or left turn signal feed circuit if required. | |
| 4. Ineffective TIPM inputs or outputs. | 4. Use a diagnostic scan tool to test the TIPM inputs and outputs. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. | |
| ALL RIGHT SIDE OR ALL LEFT SIDE TURN SIGNAL LAMPS (OR BOTH SIDES) DO NOT FLASH | 1. Ineffective feed circuit. | 1. Test and repair open right or left turn signal feed circuit if required. |
| 2. Ineffective EMIC (CCN) inputs or outputs. | 2. Use a diagnostic scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information for further EMIC diagnosis. | |
| 3. Ineffective TIPM inputs or outputs. | 3. Use a diagnostic scan tool to test the TIPM inputs and outputs. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. | |
| ALL RIGHT SIDE OR ALL LEFT SIDE TURN SIGNALS FLASH TOO RAPIDLY (MORE THAN 100 FLASHES PER MINUTE) | 1. Ineffective or missing bulb. | 1. Test and replace turn signal bulb if required. |
| 2. Ineffective ground circuit. | 2. Test and repair open bulb ground circuit if required. | |
| 3. Ineffective feed circuit. | 3. Test and repair open right or left turn signal feed circuit if required. | |
| TURN SIGNALS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY CANCEL | 1. Ineffective cancel cam. | 1. Inspect and replace the turn signal cancel cam (clockspring) if required. |
| 2. Ineffective cancel actuator. | 2. Inspect and replace the turn signal cancel actuator (left multi-function switch) if required. |
