Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch Malfunction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal 1.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between B+ and the ground circuit terminal B.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Headlamp On Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Headlamp Off Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Flash to Pass Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal C for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool High Beam Select Switch parameter is Inactive.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Verify the scan tool Low Beam Relay Command parameter is Off.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal F for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground. Verify the scan tool Headlamp On Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground. Verify the scan tool Headlamp Off Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and ground. Verify the scan tool Flash to Pass Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and ground. Verify the scan tool High Beam Select Switch parameter is Active.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal F and ground. Verify the scan tool Low Beam Relay Command parameter is On.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
