TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776190
The BCM monitors inputs from the combination switch to determine when to activate the turn signals. The
BCM outputs voltage direction to the left and right turn signals during turn signal operation or both during haz-
ard warning operation. The BCM sends a turn signal indicator request to the combination meter via the CAN
communication lines.
The BCM performs the fast flasher operation (fail-safe) if any bulb or harness of the turn signal lamp circuit is
open.
NOTE:
Turn signal lamp blinks at normal speed when using the hazard warning lamp.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000003776191
1.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP
CONSULT-III
1. Select "FLASHER" of BCM (FLASHER) active test item.
2. With operating the test items, check that the turn signal lamp blinks.
Does the turn signal lamp blink?
YES >> Turn signal lamp circuit is normal.
NO >> Refer to EXL-46, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776192
1.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP BULB
Check the applicable lamp bulb to be sure the proper bulb standard is in use and the bulb is not open.
Is the bulb OK?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace the bulb.
2.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP OUTPUT VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the front turn/fog lamp connector or the rear combi- nation lamp connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
4. With turn signal switch operating, check the voltage between the BCM harness connector M20 and ground.
Is voltage reading as specified?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Replace BCM. Refer to BCS-56, "
Removal and Installation".

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776211
XENON HEADLAMPS
The brightness and color of the light may vary slightly immediately after turning the headlamp ON. This condi-
tionwill remain until the xenon bulb becomes stable. This is normal.
• Illumination time lag may occur between right and left. This is normal.
AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM
The auto light system may not turn the headlamp ON/OF F immediately after passing a dark area or a bright
area (short tunnel, sky bridge, shadowed area etc.). This is normal.
