regardless of the ignition switch position. When the
turn signal (multi-function) switch control stalk is
moved up (right turn) or down (left turn), the turn
signal system is activated. When the turn signal sys-
tem is activated, the circuitry of the turn signal
switch and the combination flasher will cause the
selected (right or left) turn signal indicator, front
park/turn signal lamp, and rear tail/stop/turn signal
lamp to flash on and off. With the hazard warning
(multi-function) switch in the On position, the hazard
warning system is activated. When the hazard warn-
ing system is activated, the circuitry of the hazard
warning switch and the combination flasher will
cause both the right side and the left side turn signal
indicators, front park/turn signal lamps, and rear
tail/stop/turn signal lamps to flash on and off.
Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the turn signal and hazard warning sys-
tem.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL &
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
When diagnosing the turn signal and hazard warn-
ing circuits, remember that high generator output
can burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to
diagnose and repair the charging system as required.
If the problem being diagnosed is related to a failure
of the turn signals to automatically cancel following
completion of a turn, inspect the multi-function
switch for a faulty or damaged cancel actuator and
inspect the turn signal cancel cam on the clockspring
for damaged lobes or improper installation. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Actuate the turn signal switch or the hazard warning
switch. Observe the turn signal indicator lamp(s) in
the instrument cluster. If the flash rate is very high,
check for a turn signal bulb that is not lit or is very
dimly lit. Repair the circuits to that lamp or replace
the faulty bulb, as required. If the turn signal indi-
cator(s) fail to light, go to Step 2.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check the fused ignition switch output (run-acc) fuse
(Fuse 10 - 10 ampere) in the Junction Block (JB) and
the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse 4 - 20 ampere) in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse(s).
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse 4 - 20 ampere) in the PDC. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the PDC and the battery as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse 10 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit between
the JB and the ignition switch as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the combination flasher from the JB and
replace it with a known good unit. Reconnect the bat-
tery negative cable. Test the operation of the turn
signal and hazard warning systems. If OK, discard
the faulty combination flasher. If not OK, remove the
test flasher and go to Step 6.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit cavity in the JB receptacle
for the combination flasher. If OK, go to Step 7. If
not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
(run-acc) circuit between the combination flasher and
the fused ignition switch output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse
10 - 10 ampere) in the JB as required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit
cavity of the JB receptacle for the combination
flasher. If OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit between the combination
flasher and the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse 4 - 20 ampere)
in the PDC as required.
(8) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the JB receptacle for the combination
flasher and a good ground. There should be continu-
ity. If OK, go to Step 9. If not OK, repair the open
ground circuit to ground (G201) as required.
