   Fault symptom
  
  
   Direction indicators light continuously. Direction indicators do not light.
   
   
  
  
   
   
   
    Diagnostic procedure
   
   
    1 Check the normal operation of the direction indicators
   
   
  
  
   Switch on the hazard flashers.
   
   
   
    Is the function correct?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 2.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Continue fault diagnosis as described in Service Manual 3:5 "Electrical system, ICE". See also fault diagnosis for diagnostic trouble code B1432, B1433 or B1442 and also checking of direction indicators and hazard flashers.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    2 Check the operation of the direction indicators, using an ISAT scan tool.
   
   
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Connect the ISAT scan tool. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
  
   The direction indicators should remain on continuously.
   
   
   
    Is the function correct?
   
   
   
    
     The fault is of intermittent nature, proceed to point 4.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 3.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    3 Check the wiring
   
   
  
  
   Remove the alarm control module. Conduct a continuity test between:
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | control module pin 24 and connector, left-hand side direction indicators. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | control module pin 12 and connector, right-hand side direction indicators 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | pins 24 and 12 of the electronic control module and a good grounding point. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
   The resistance should be < 1 ohm.
   
   
   
    Is the resistance correct?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 4.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Repair or replace the wiring harness.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    4 Final check
   
  
  
   Check to see if the fault symptom remains.
   
   
   
    Is the problem still present?
   
   
   
    
     See "Before replacing a control module".
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     The remedial measures taken were correct or the fault is of intermittent nature.
