  1. T1 CHECK THE TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMPS OPERATION 
    CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Operate the left and right turn signals.
    • Operate the hazard lamps.
    • Do the turn signals and hazard lamps operate correctly? 
    1. Yes:  GO to T2.
    2. No:  REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING .
  2. T2 CHECK THE CIRCUIT IN QUESTION - CIRCUIT 2 (WH/LB) (RH) OR CIRCUIT 3 (LG/WH) (LH) 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220a (RH) or C220b (LH).
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster C220a pin 3, circuit 3 (LG/WH), harness side and ground, while the steering column multifunction switch is placed in the left turn position (LH); or between the instrument cluster C220b pin 3, circuit 2 (WH/LB), harness side and ground, while the steering column multifunction switch is placed in the right turn position (RH).

    • Does the voltage alternate between 0 volts and 10 volts with the turn signal on? 
    1. Yes:  GO to T3.
    2. No:  REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. T3 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the instrument cluster connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the 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 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  . TEST the system for normal operation.
    2. No:  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
