Diagnostic Aids
- The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
- There is an intermittent short to voltage in the LH turn signal monitor circuit.
- The turn signal switch or the hazard switch is shorted internally or is sticking.
- If the BCM detects continuous voltage on the LH turn signal monitor circuit, the BCM interprets this as a short to voltage. The BCM will continue with normal DRL operation, and the LF turn signal will remain inoperative.
- If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while moving related wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

| 3 | Observe the left front turn signal lamp. Is the lamp always on? |
Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4 |
| 4 | Inspect the condition of the left front turn signal bulb. Is the bulb burned out? |
Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 5 |
| 5 | Test for an open, high resistance, or short to ground in the left turn signal lamp supply voltage circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing
and Wiring Repairs
in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? |
Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 7 |
| 6 | Test for a short to voltage in the left turn signal lamp supply voltage circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing
and Wiring Repairs
in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? |
Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 7 |
| 7 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the body control module (BCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
and Connector Repairs
in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? |
Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9 |
| 8 | Replace the left front turn signal bulb. Refer to Headlamp Assembly or Headlamp Bulb and/or Cornering, Sidemarker, Park, Turn Signal Bulb Replacement for sedans or Park/Turn Signal Lamp Bulb Replacement for coupes. Did you complete the replacement? |
Go to Step 10 | - |

IMPORTANT:
Perform the set up procedure for the Body Control Module (BCM). Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration
in Body Control System. Replace the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement
in Body Control System.Did you complete the replacement? |
