The BCM supplies a voltage to the left rear and right rear side repeater lamps supply voltage circuit.
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | The left or right rear turn signal and right or left side repeater lamps must be commanded on. |
The BCM detects a short to ground in the Left or Right Rear turn Signal supply voltage circuit.
The right or left rear turn signal lamps are always on or do not illuminate.
• | The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |
• | The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |
An open/high resistance or a short to ground in the turn signal switch would cause the turn signal and side repeater lamps to become inoperative.

Ignition ON, observe right or left rear turn signal and right or left side repeater lamps while engaging the turn signal switch in the appropriate position. Selecting the left or right side repeater lamps should illuminate the selected lamps.
⇒ | If the test lamp does not flash, test the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the turn signals are not ON, test the appropriate signal circuit of the turn signal switch for a short to voltage, short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains ON all the time, test for a short to voltage on the control circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains OFF all the time, test for a short to ground or an open/high resistance on the control circuit. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the turn signal multifunction switch. |
⇒ | If greater than 1 ohm, test the supply voltage circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains ON all the time, test for a short to voltage on the control circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains OFF all the time, test for a short to ground or an open/high resistance on the control circuit. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the turn signal multifunction switch. |
⇒ | If less than infinite resistance, replace the turn signal multifunction switch. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the turn signal multifunction switch. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, replace the light bulb. |
