1. Rear Turn Signal Always ON
|
Circuit/System Description |
Ground is applied at all times to the turn signal/multifunction switch. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in either the turn right or turn left position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through either the right turn or left turn signal switch signal circuit. The BCM then applies a voltage to the front/side and rear turn signal lamps through their respective voltage supply circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC |
The appropriate turn signal is active.
Conditions for Setting the DTC |
B3950 02 or B3951 02
The BCM detects a short to ground on the control circuit.B3950 04 or B3951 04
The BCM detects an open control circuit.Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
The appropriate turn signal lamp is inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC |
The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification |
Ignition ON, perform the appropriate Rear Turn Signal/Hazard Lamp test. The appropriate rear turn signal/hazard lamp should be ON/OFF.
Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate turn signal lamp listed below:
|
• |
E5E Tail Lamp - Left harness connector X1
|
• |
E5F Tail Lamp - Right harness connector X1
|
2. |
Test for less than 5 Ω between the appropriate turn signal lamp ground circuit harness connector listed below and ground.
|
• |
E5F Tail Lamp - Right ground circuit harness connector terminal F
|
• |
E5E Tail Lamp - Left ground circuit harness connector terminal F
|
3. |
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
4. |
Connect a test lamp between the appropriate turn signal lamp control circuit harness connector listed below and ground.
|
• |
E5F Tail Lamp - Right Turn Signal Lamp circuit harness connector terminal B
|
• |
E5E Tail Lamp - Left Turn Signal Lamp circuit harness connector terminal B
|
5. |
Command the appropriate Turn Signal Lamp test ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
|
6. |
If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
|
7. |
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
|
8. |
If all the circuits test normal, replace the appropriate turn signal lamp.
