Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    LED LAMPS ONLY: After any Fault Sense circuit repair or replacement is completed, the Turn Lamps must be activated at least 20 cycles for the DTC status to change from Active to Stored. After the DTC status has been changed to Stored, the DTC can be erased from the internal memory of the Body Control Module (BCM).

    1. With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. With the scan tool, perform an ECU reset to the BCM, and then erase DTCs.
    3. Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10.0 seconds.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. Record the Environmental Data.
    6. Using the recorded Environmental Data and the When Monitored Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    7. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE (L62) RIGHT REAR TURN LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the BCM C5/E harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (L62) Right Rear Turn Lamp Driver circuit between the Right Tail Lamp Assembly harness connector and the BCM C5/E harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 1 Ohm?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (L62) Right Rear Turn Lamp Driver circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  10
  6. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON THE RIGHT TURN LAMP DRIVER CIRCUIT 
    NOTE:

    Depending on the vehicle, and how it is equipped, the circuit being tested may be listed as the (L62) Right Rear Turn Lamp Driver circuit, the (L54) Right Stop Lamp Driver circuit, or the (L6) Right Stop/Turn Lamp Feed circuit.

    NOTE:

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

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Measure the voltage on the equipped Right Turn Lamp Driver circuit at the Right Tail Lamp Assembly harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the equipped Right Turn Lamp Driver circuit for an short to voltage.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
  7. CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON THE (L562) RIGHT LIGHTING FAULT SENSE CIRCUIT 
    1. Measure the voltage on the (L562) Right Lighting Fault Sense circuit at the Right Tail Lamp Assembly harness connector.
