Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. Record the Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON THE (L60) RIGHT FRONT TURN LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT 
    NOTE:

    Make sure the Turn Lamps are off when performing this step.

    1. Turn the Right Turn Lamps off.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Disconnect the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. Measure the voltage on the (L60) Right Front Turn Lamps Driver circuit at the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Go To  6

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (Z901) AND (Z902) GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z901) Ground circuit at the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z902) Ground circuit at the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms for any of the connections?

      Yes 

      • Repair the open or high resistance in the (Z901) or (Z902) Ground circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE BCM RIGHT TURN LAMP OUTPUT 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Turn the Right Turn Lamps on.
      NOTE:

      The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

    3. Connect a 12-volt test light between the (Z901) Ground circuit and (L60) Right Front Turn Lamp Driver circuit at the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly in sequence with the Turn Lamps?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE (L60) RIGHT FRONT TURN LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the BCM C1/A harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (L60) Right Front Turn Lamp Driver circuit between the Right Front Lamp Assembly harness connector and the BCM C1/A harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the open or high resistance in the (L60) Right Front Turn Lamp Driver circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
  6. CHECK THE (L60) RIGHT FRONT TURN LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the BCM C1/A harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (L60) Right Front Turn Lamps Driver circuit at the BCM C1/A harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (L60) Right Front Turn Lamp Driver circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
  7. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all BCM harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    10. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No
