    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to O2.

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  2. O2 CHECK CIRCUIT CLS32 (BN/YE) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280d.
    • Measure the resistance between the hazard lamp switch C2355-5, circuit CLS32 (BN/YE), harness side and the SJB C2280d-20, circuit CLS32 (BN/YE), harness side.

    Yes  : GO to O3.

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. O3 CHECK THE HAZARD LAMP SWITCH 
    • Connect: Hazard Lamp Switch

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to O4.

    No  : INSTALL a new hazard lamp switch. REFER to HAZARD FLASHER LAMP SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.

  4. O4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
    • Check for:
      • Corrosion
      • Pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  : INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.

    No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
