Turn Signal and Hazard Lamps
Pinpoint Test P: One Turn Signal/Hazard Lamp Is Inoperative/Always On
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 90, Turn Signal/Stop/Hazard Lamps for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends voltage signals to the multifunction switch to monitor the LH turn request and the RH turn request. When the multifunction switch is switched to the LH or RH TURN position, the voltage signal is routed to ground.
When the SJB (Smart Junction Box) detects the multifunction switch in the LH or RH TURN position, the SJB (Smart Junction Box) sends voltage to the appropriate turn lamps.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Bulb holder
- Rear lamp jumper harness
- SJB (Smart Junction Box)
PINPOINT TEST P : ONE TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD LAMP IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ON
