Turn Signal Light Circuit





LIGHTING (EXT): LIGHTING SYSTEM: Turn Signal Light Circuit
- Turn Signal Light Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The main body ECU LH controls the operation of the turn signal flasher assembly. The turn signal flasher assembly blinks the turn signal lights.

The main body ECU LH receives RH/LH turn signal light blink request signals from the combination switch ECU through BEAN communication and sends operation signals to the turn signal flasher assembly.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK TURN SIGNAL LIGHT (OPERATION)

(a) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(b) When the turn signal light switch is operated, check that the corresponding turn signal lights flash.

HINT
The front and rear turn signal lights share the same drive circuit. Therefore, if either the front or rear turn signal lights do not come on, there may be a problem in the circuit between the turn signal flasher and a bulb, or the circuit between a bulb and body ground.

Result:





B -- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM

C -- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM
A -- Continue to next step.

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

Body No. 3 (Main Body ECU LH)





OK:

Turn signal lights flash.

NG -- INSPECT FUSE (LH-IG, TURN-HAZ)

OK -- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Exterior Lighting System

3. INSPECT FUSE (LH-IG, TURN-HAZ)

(a) Remove the LH-IG fuse from the cowl side junction block LH.

(b) Remove the TURN-HAZ fuse from the No. 1 engine room junction block.

(c) Measure the resistance of the fuses.

Standard Resistance:

Below 1 Ohms

NG -- REPLACE FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.
