Pinpoint Test P: One Turn Signal/Hazard Lamp Is Inoperative/Always On
Turn Signal and Hazard Lamps
Pinpoint Test P: One Turn Signal/Hazard Lamp Is Inoperative/Always On
Normal Operation
When the Smart Junction Box (SJB) detects the multifunction switch in the LH TURN position, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) provides voltage to the LH front and mirror turn lamps.
When the SJB (Smart Junction Box) detects the multifunction switch in the RH TURN position, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) provides voltage to the RH front and mirror turn lamps.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Mirror turn lamp
- Exterior mirror
- Headlamp assembly
- SJB (Smart Junction Box)
PINPOINT TEST P : ONE TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD LAMP IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ON

Yes
For a front turn lamp, INSTALL a new headlamp assembly. REFER to Headlamp Assembly . TEST the system for normal operation.
For a mirror turn lamp, GO to P5.
No
REPAIR the ground circuit in question for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
P5 CHECK THE MIRROR HARNESS FOR AN OPEN
- Check the mirror harness between the side turn lamp connector and the mirror connector for an open.
Is the mirror harness OK?
Yes
INSTALL a new mirror turn lamp. REFER to Turn Signal Lamp - Outside Rear View Mirror . TEST the system for normal operation.
No
INSTALL a new exterior mirror. TEST the system for normal operation.
P6 REPEAT THE SELF-TEST AND RECHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE TURN LAMP
- Turn the hazard lamps off.
- 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).
- Turn the hazard lamps on.
- For an inoperative front turn lamp, measure the voltage between the LH headlamp C1021-1, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH headlamp C1041-1, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and ground.
- For an inoperative mirror turn lamp, measure the voltage between the LH exterior mirror C516-3, circuit CLS20 (BN/BU), harness side and ground; or between the RH exterior mirror C625-3, circuit CLS24 (BN/WH), harness side and ground.
Does the voltage alternate from 0 volts to greater than 10 volts?
Yes
For a front turn lamp, INSTALL a new headlamp assembly. REFER to Headlamp Assembly . TEST the system for normal operation.
For a side turn lamp, INSTALL a new exterior mirror. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to P7.
P7 CHECK THE TURN LAMP VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn the hazard lamps off.
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SJB (Smart Junction Box) C2280F (Front Turn Lamp).
- Disconnect: SJB (Smart Junction Box) C2280C (Mirror Turn Lamp).
- For an inoperative front turn lamp, measure the resistance between the LH headlamp C1021-1, circuit CLS21 (BU/GN), harness side and ground; or between the RH headlamp C1041-1, circuit CLS25 (YE/VT), harness side and ground.
- For an inoperative mirror turn lamp, measure the resistance between the LH exterior mirror C516-3, circuit CLS20 (BN/BU), harness side and ground; or between the RH exterior mirror C625-3, circuit CLS24 (BN/WH), harness side and ground.
Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
GO to P8.
No
REPAIR the circuit in question for a short to ground. After the repair:
If no DTCs were present, TEST the system for normal operation.
If DTC B106E was 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 was present, INSTALL a new SJB (Smart Junction Box). TEST the system for normal operation.
P8 CHECK THE TURN LAMP VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

GO to P9.
No
REPAIR the turn lamp voltage supply circuit in question for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
P9 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB (Smart Junction Box) OPERATION
- 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. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
