Pinpoint Test N: One Turn Signal/Hazard Lamp Is Inoperative/Always On
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- N1 DETERMINE IF A TURN LAMP IS ALWAYS ON
- Ignition ON.
- Monitor the turn lamps.
- Is either front turn lamp always on?
- Yes : GO to N2.
- No : GO to N3.
- N2 CHECK THE SJB TURN LAMP OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280f.
- Ignition ON.
- Does the front turn lamp in question continue to illuminate?
- Yes : REPAIR circuit CLS21 (BU/GN) (LH front turn lamp) or circuit CLS25 (YE/VT) (RH front turn lamp) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : GO to N9.
- N3 USE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE SJB SELF-TEST
- Check the recorded results from the SJB on-demand self-test.
- Was DTC B2A27 or DTC B2A29 present?
- Yes : GO to N6.
- No : GO to N4.
- N4 CHECK THE BULB HOLDER FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect: Inoperative Front Turn Lamp.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SJB Self-Test.
- Clear the DTCs and repeat the self-test (required to enable the turn lamp output driver if DTC B106E is present)
- Activate the hazard flasher lamp function.
- Measure the voltage between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and ground.
- Does the voltage alternate from 0 volts to greater than 11 volts?
- Yes : INSTALL a new bulb holder. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : GO to N5.
- N5 CHECK THE SJB TURN LAMP OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn the hazard lamps off.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280f.
- Measure the resistance between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
- Yes : GO to N9.
- No
: REPAIR circuit CLS21 (BU/GN) (LH turn) or circuit CLS25 (YE/VT) (RH turn) for a short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test
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 SJBSJB. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES . TEST the system for normal operation.
- N6 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FRONT TURN LAMP
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inoperative Front Turn Lamp.
- Ignition ON.
- Turn the hazard lamps on.
- Measure the voltage between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and ground.
- Does the voltage alternate from 0 volts to greater than 11 volts?
- Yes : GO to N7.
- No : GO to N8.
- N7 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FRONT TURN LAMP USING THE CONNECTOR GROUND
- Measure the voltage between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and the LH front turn lamp C1023-1, circuit GD129 (BK/YE) harness side; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and the RH front turn lamp C1043-1, circuit GD129 (BK/YE) harness side.
- Does the voltage alternate from 0 volts to greater than 11 volts?
- Yes : INSTALL a new bulb holder. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : REPAIR circuit GD129 (BK/YE) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- N8 CHECK THE SJB TURN LAMP OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the hazard lamps off.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280f.
- Measure the resistance between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and the SJB C2280f-21, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and the SJB C2280f-23, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
- Yes : GO to N9.
- No : REPAIR circuit CLS21 (BU/GN) (LH turn) or circuit CLS25 (YE/VT) (RH turn) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test
- N9 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- 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 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. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
