Diagnostic Aids
- The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
- There is an intermittent short to voltage in the RH turn signal monitor circuit.
- The turn signal switch or the hazard switch is internally shorted or is sticking.
- The BCM needs to detect voltage oscillations on the RH turn signal monitor circuit in order to de-energize the RH DRL relay. If the BCM detects continuous voltage on the RH turn signal monitor circuit, the BCM interprets this as a short to voltage. The BCM will continue with normal DRL operation, and the RF 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.

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems | Go to Step 3 |
| 3 | Observe the right front turn signal lamp. Is the lamp always on? |
Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4 |
| 4 | Inspect the condition of the right 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 right 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 right 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 right 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 BCM. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration
in Body Control System. Replace the BCM. Refer to Body Control Module Replacement
