Turn Signal Warning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The EMIC provides a turn signal warning feature by monitoring the turn signal indicators and electronic vehicle speed and distance messages received from the PCM over the PCI data bus. If the EMIC determines that a turn signal is left on for a distance greater than about 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) at a vehicle speed greater than about 24 kilometers per hour (15 miles per hour), it will send an electronic message to the CTM requesting a continuous chime to sound until the turn signal is turned off or until the vehicle speed is less than 24 kilometers per hour (15 miles per hour), whichever occurs first.

The hard wired turn signal switch inputs to the EMIC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic methods. However, proper testing of the EMIC, the CTM, the PCM, the PCI data bus, and the electronic messages sent by the PCM to the EMIC or from the EMIC to the CTM requires the use of a DRBIII(R) scan tool.
