    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes:  GO to  N10.
    • No:  REPAIR circuit CLS21 (BU/GN) (LH turn lamp) or circuit CLS25 (YE/VT) (RH turn lamp) for a short to ground. After the repair:

      If no DTCs are present, TEST the system for normal operation.

      If DTC B106E is present, CLEAR the DTCs and  REPEAT the self-test (required to enable the turn lamp output driver if DTC B106E is present)  . TEST the system for normal operation.

      If DTC B106F is present, INSTALL a new SJB  . REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.

  7. N7 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FRONT TURN LAMP 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Inoperative Turn Lamp.
    • Turn the hazard lamps on.
    • Measure the voltage between the inoperative turn lamp, harness side and ground as follows:
