Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal 1.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal B.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal F.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  5. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Headlamp Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  6. Verify the scan tool Auto Hdlp. Disable Sw. parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  7. Verify the scan tool Flash to Pass Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal C for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  8. Verify the scan tool High Beam Select switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  9. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. Verify the scan tool Headlamp Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  10. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground. Verify the scan tool Auto Hdlp. Disable Sw. parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  11. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and ground. Verify the scan tool Flash to Pass Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  12. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and ground. Verify the scan tool High Beam Select switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  13. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
