B1647-REAR RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) receives a bus message requesting turn signal lamp illumination. When this bus message is received, the TIPM provides a pulsed voltage output through the rear turn signal control circuit. The rear turn signal control circuit connects to the dual filament Park and Turn Signal Bulb in the Lamp, Tail Stop Turn. The same ground circuit is used for both the Park and Turn Signal filaments in a dual filament lamp. For additional information on the Turn Signal Lamps operation, Exterior Lamps - Operation.

- When Monitored:
With the turn signal active.

- Set Condition:
When the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) detects a low condition on the (L62) Right Rear Turn Lamp Driver circuit.





1. INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, clear all DTCs.
3. Turn the Right Turn Signal on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display DTC: B1647-REAR RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. ATTEMPT TO SET THE OPPOSITE DTC
