FRONT FOG LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463591
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power di stribution module engine room) controls the front fog lamp relay based on
inputs from the BCM over the CAN communication lines . When the front fog lamp relay is energized, power
flows from the front fog lamp relay in the IPDM E/R to the front fog lamps.

TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463597
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:0000000009463598
1.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP
CONSULT
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-106, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000009463599
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to EXL-60, "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 or rear combination lamp har ness connector or the door mirror harness connector (if
equipped with turn signal in mirror) in question.

HOW TO FOLLOW TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009462973
NOTICE:
Trouble diagnoses indicate work procedures required to diagnose problems effectively. Observe the following
instructions before diagnosing.
• Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the “Work Flow” in each section.
• After repairs, re-check that the problem has been completely eliminated.
• Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Locat ion for the Systems described in each section for
identification/location of components and harness connectors.
• When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should be OFF.
• Refer to the Circuit Diagram for quick pinpoint check.
If you need to check circuit continui ty between harness connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-har-
ness is used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual section and Harness Layout in PG section for identi-
fication of harness connectors.
• Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery voltage.
• After accomplishing the Diagnosis Procedures and Elec trical Components Inspection, make sure that all
harness connectors are reconnected as they were.
