Turn Signal Light Circuit





LIGHTING: LIGHTING SYSTEM: Turn Signal Light Circuit
- Turn Signal Light Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The main body ECU LH controls the operation of the turn signal flasher. The turn signal flasher blinks the turn signal lights.

The main body ECU LH receives RH/LH turn signal light blink request signals from the combination switch ECU through BEAN communication and sends operation signals to the turn signal flasher.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK TURN SIGNAL LIGHT (OPERATION)

(a) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(b) When the turn signal light switch is operated, check that the corresponding turn signal lights flash.

HINT
The front and rear turn signal lights share the same drive circuit. Therefore, if either the front or rear turn signal lights do not come on, there may be a problem in the circuit between the turn signal flasher and the bulb, or the circuit between the bulb and body ground.

Result:





C -- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM

B -- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM
A -- Continue to next step.

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
