Turn Signal Indicator: Testing and Inspection
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative turn signal indicator lamp condition. For any other turn signal problem, refer to Turn Signal and
Hazard Warning Systems for diagnosis. If no turn signal or hazard warning system problem is found, the following procedure will help locate a short or
open in the indicator lamp circuit.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER TO AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE.
FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the instrument cluster.
2. Connect the battery negative cable. Activate the hazard warning system by moving the hazard warning switch button to the On position. Check for
battery voltage at the inoperative (right or left) turn signal circuit cavity of the instrument cluster wire harness connector (connector B). There
should be a switching (on and off) battery voltage signal. If OK, replace the faulty (right or left) turn signal indicator lamp bulb. If not OK, repair
the open circuit to the turn signal/hazard warning (multi-function) switch as required.
