Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK TURN SIGNAL LIGHT (OPERATION) 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG)
    2. When the turn signal light switch is operated, check that the corresponding turn signal lights flash

      HINT:

      The front and rear turn signal lights share the same drive circuit. Therefore, if either the front or rear turn signal lights do not come on, there may be a problem in the circuit between the turn signal flasher and a bulb, or the circuit between a bulb and body ground
