Pinpoint Test M: The LH/RH Turn or High Beam Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

When the multifunction switch is in the LH/RH TURN position or the headlamps are in the HIGH BEAM position, a message is sent to the Instrument Cluster (IC) from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) through the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN), to flash the LH/RH turn signal indicator on and off or to turn on the high beam indicator.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Exterior lighting concern
- SJB
- IC
