TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146654
The BCM monitors inputs from the combination switch (lighting and turn signal 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 hazard warning operation. The BCM sends a turn signal indicator request to the com-
bination 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:0000000005146655
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-44, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146656
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to EXL-77, "Wiring Diagram".
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.LH : Turn signal lamp LH blinking
RH : Turn signal lamp RH blinking

HEADLAMP AIMING SWITCH
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146660
The manual headlamp aiming system uses a headlamp aiming switch to adjust the axis of the headlamp aim-
ing motor. The headlamp aiming switch has four settings, each with a different resistance value. The head-
lamp aiming motor adjusts to the proper axis based off the position of the headlamp aiming switch.
Diagnosis Procedure - Without Daytime Light SystemINFOID:0000000005146661

headlamp aiming motor RH connector E107 (B).
3. Check continuity between the headlamp aiming switch connec-
tor M148 terminal 1 (A) and headlamp aiming motor LH E11 and
RH E107 terminal 7 (B).
4. Check continuity between the headlamp aiming switch connec- tor M148 terminal 1 and ground.
Are the continuity test results as specified?
