BSM INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT FLASH WHILE UNDER BSM INDICATOR LIGHT-FLASHING CONDITIONS (WITH LIGHT SWITCH OPERATION (TURN SIGNAL SWITCH)) [BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR 10-PIN TYPE]


id0903n2015600

Description
BSM indicator light does not flash while under BSM indicator light-flashing conditions (with combination switch operation (turn signal switch))
•  The BSM indicator light does not flash or illuminate continuously, but the conditions to flash the BSM indicator light are satisfied (vehicle speed 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or more, turn signal on, and vehicle in warning zone).
•  BSM indicator light does not flash or illuminate continuously, but turn signals are on.
Possible Causes
Note
•  This malfunction symptom is basically the same as symptom “BSM indicator light does not illuminate while under BSM indicator light-illumination conditions”.
•  The BSM control module mistakenly recognizes a vehicle as being outside of the warning zone when it is actually inside of it.
―   Radar (BSM control module integrated) is not emitted inside of warning zone (unable to emit radar inside warning zone)
•  Damage, deformity or looseness to installation bracket or vehicle frame (including moderate impacts).
•  Malfunction in steering angle signal (communication error between body control module (BCM) and BSM control module.
•  Problem with rear bumper such as dirt on radar emitting/receiving area, application of stickers (including transparent types), repairs using putty application.
―  BSM control module does not receive echo-back correctly
•  BSM control module (radar) malfunction
•  Problem with rear bumper such as dirt on radar emitting/receiving area, application of stickers (including transparent types), repairs using putty application.
Note
•  Rear bumper problems such defective installation of rear bumper, excessive dirt on radar emitting/receiving area, sticker adhesion (including transparent types), repairs to rear bumper using putty
•  Non-genuine bumper or paint, or installation of after-market parts negatively affecting radar echo-back ability
―   After-market electrical parts interfere with BSM system
•  BSM does not recognize vehicle speed correctly (BSM control module mistakenly recognizes vehicle speed as being within 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or more
―  PCM communication error with BSM control module
―  Malfunction in ABS wheel speed sensor related parts
•  Malfunction in BSM indicator light related parts
―  Open circuit in wiring harness between BSM indicator light and BSM control module
―  Open circuit in wiring harness or poor ground between BSM control module and ground
―  BSM indicator light malfunction
•  Signal is not input for turn signal
―  Combination switch (turn signal switch) malfunction
―  Open circuit in wiring harness between combination switch (turn signal switch) and body control module (BCM)
―  Communication error between body control module (BCM) and BSM control module
―  BSM control module malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Result

Action

1
VERIFY MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM
•  BSM indicator light illuminates while under light-off conditions.
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the symptom troubleshooting procedure, ”BSM indicator light does not illuminate while under BSM indicator light-illumination conditions”.
2
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) INPUT SIGNAL OR BSM
•  Monitor the following PIDs on the suspected side of the BCM using the M-MDS.
―  TURN_SW_L
―  TURN_SW_R
•  Are the monitoring values normal?
Yes
Replace the BSM control module.
No
Retrieve DTCs from the BCM, instrument cluster, and BSM control module using the M-MDS.
