B163F-FRONT RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW
B163F-FRONT RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW
 |
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) receives a bus message requesting turn signal lamp illumination. When this bus message is received, the TIPM provides a pulsed voltage output through the front turn signal control circuit. The front turn signal control circuit connects to the dual filament Park and Turn Signal Lamp. The same ground circuit is used for both the Park and Turn Signal filaments in a dual filament lamp.
-
When Monitored:
With the turn signal active.
-
Set Condition:
When the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) detects a low condition on the (L160) Right Front Turn Signal Control circuit.
Possible Causes |
|---|
| (L160) RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND |
| PARK AND TURN SIGNAL BULB |
| TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) |
| 1. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 2. | With the scan tool, clear all DTCs. |
| 3. | Turn the Right Turn Signal on. |
| 4. | With the scan tool, read DTCs. |
Does the scan tool display DTC: B163F-FRONT RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).
2. ATTEMPT TO SET THE OPPOSITE DTC
| 1. | Turn the ignition off. |
| 2. | Disconnect the Right Front Park/Turn Lamp harness connector. |
| 3. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 4. | Turn the Right Turn Signal on. |
| 5. | With the scan tool, read DTCs. |
Does the scan tool display DTC: B1640-FRONT RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?
Yes
- Replace the Right Park and Turn Signal Bulb in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Go To 3
3. CHECK THE (L160) RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
| 1. | Turn the ignition off. |
| 2. | Measure the resistance between ground and the (L160) Right Front Turn Signal Control circuit. |
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Repair the short to ground in the (L160) Right Front Turn Signal Control circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).
