Pinpoint Test N: One Turn Signal/Hazard Lamp Is Inoperative/Always On
Turn Signal and Hazard Lamps
Pinpoint Test N: One Turn Signal/Hazard Lamp Is Inoperative/Always On
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 90, Turn Signal/Stop/Hazard Lamps for schematic and connector information Electrical Diagrams.
Normal Operation
When the Smart Junction Box (SJB) detects the multifunction switch is in the LH TURN position, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) provides voltage to the LH front turn lamp. When the SJB (Smart Junction Box) detects the multifunction switch is in the RH TURN position, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) provides voltage to the RH front turn lamp. The rear turn lamps are controlled utilizing the rear stoplamp circuitry.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Bulb holder
- SJB (Smart Junction Box)
PINPOINT TEST N : ONE TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD LAMP IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ON

Yes
For the LH front turn lamp, REPAIR circuit CLS21 (BU/GN) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
For the RH front turn lamp, REPAIR circuit CLS25 (YE/VT) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
No
GO to N10.
N4 CHECK THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE SJB (Smart Junction Box) SELF-TEST
- Check the recorded results from the SJB (Smart Junction Box) on-demand self-test.
Is DTC B2A27 or DTC B2A29 present?
Yes
GO to N5.
No
GO to N8.
N5 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE INOPERATIVE TURN LAMP
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inoperative Turn Lamp.
- Activate the hazard flasher lamp function.
- Measure the voltage between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and ground.
Does the voltage alternate between 0 and greater than 10 volts?
Yes
GO to N6.
No
GO to N7.
N6 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE TURN LAMP USING THE CONNECTOR GROUND
- Measure the voltage between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and the LH front turn lamp C1023-1, circuit GD120 (BK/GN), harness side; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and the RH front turn lamp C1043-1, circuit GD120 (BK/GN), harness side.
Does the voltage alternate between 0 and greater than 10 volts?
Yes
INSTALL a new bulb holder. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test
No
REPAIR circuit GD120 (BK/GN) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test
N7 CHECK THE SJB (Smart Junction Box) TURN LAMP OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the hazard lamp function off.
- Disconnect: SJB (Smart Junction Box) C2280F.
- Measure the resistance between the inoperative turn lamp, harness side and the SJB (Smart Junction Box), harness side as follows:
Inoperative Turn Lamp Connector-Pin SJB (Smart Junction Box) Connector-Pin Circuit LH front C1023-3C2280F-21 CLS21 (BU/GN) RH front C1043-3C2280F-23 CLS25 (YE/VT)
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
GO to N10.
No
REPAIR circuit CLS21 (BU/GN) (LH front turn) or circuit CLS25 (YE/VT) (RH front turn) for an open. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
N8 CHECK THE BULB HOLDER FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inoperative Turn Lamp.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: SJB (Smart Junction Box) Self-Test.
- Clear the DTCs and repeat the self-test (required to enable the turn lamp output driver if DTC B106E is present).
- Activate the hazard flasher lamp function.
- Measure the voltage between the LH front turn lamp C1023-3, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH front turn lamp C1043-3, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and ground.
Does the voltage alternate from 0 to greater than 10 volts?
Yes
INSTALL a new bulb holder. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to N9.
N9 CHECK THE SJB (Smart Junction Box) TURN LAMP OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SJB (Smart Junction Box) C2280F.
- Measure the resistance between the SJB (Smart Junction Box), harness side and ground as follows:
Inoperative Turn Lamp SJB (Smart Junction Box) Connector-Pin Circuit LH front C2280F-21 CLS21 (BU/GN) RH front C2280F-23 CLS25 (YE/VT)
Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
GO to N10.
No
REPAIR circuit CLS21 (BU/GN) (LH front turn lamp) or circuit CLS25 (YE/VT) (RH front turn lamp) for a short to ground. After the repair:
If no DTCs are present, TEST the system for normal operation.
If DTC B106E is present, CLEAR the DTCs and REPEAT the self-test (required to enable the turn lamp output driver if DTC B106E is present). TEST the system for normal operation.
If DTC B106F is present, INSTALL a new SJB (Smart Junction Box). TEST the system for normal operation.
N10 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB (Smart Junction Box) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect all the SJB (Smart Junction Box) connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB (Smart Junction Box) connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new SJB (Smart Junction Box). TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
