Pinpoint Test P: The Turn Signal Lamps Are Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. P1 CHECK THE HIGH BEAM OPERATION 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Turn the headlamp switch to the headlamps ON position.
    • Place the multifunction switch in the high beam position.
    • Do the high beams operate correctly? 
    1. Yes  : TURN the headlamp switch OFF. GO to P2.
    2. No  : Go To PINPOINT TEST B: THE HIGH BEAMS ARE INOPERATIVE  to diagnose the high beams.
  2. P2 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH OUTPUT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Monitor the instrument cluster turn signal status PID while
    • placing the multifunction switch in the RH and then LH turn positions.
    • Does the PID match with the multifunction switch positions? 
    1. Yes  : GO to  P6.
    2. No  : GO to P3.
  3. P3 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202.
    • Carry out the multifunction switch component test.

      Refer to COMPONENT TESTING .

    • Is the multifunction switch OK? 
    1. Yes  : GO to P4.
    2. No  : INSTALL a new multifunction switch. Refer to STEERING SYSTEM . TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. P4 CHECK CIRCUIT 8 -LG43 (WH/VT) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220b.
    • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster C220b-20, circuit 8-LG43 (WH/VT), harness side and the multifunction switch C202-7, circuit 8-LG43 (WH/VT), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. Yes  : GO to P5.
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. P5 CHECK CIRCUIT 8 -LG43 (WH/VT) FOR SHORT TO POWER 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster C220b-20, circuit 8-LG43 (WH/VT), harness side and ground.

    • Is any voltage present? 
    1. Yes  : GO to P6.
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. P6 CHECK FOR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect all instrument cluster connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all instrument cluster connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. Yes  : INSTALL a new instrument cluster. Refer to INFORMATION, GAUGES & WARNING DEVICES . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. REPEAT the self-test.
