2014 Jeep Wrangler JK Factory Service Manual 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics

B1640-FRONT RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH



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.


Possible Causes

(L160) RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL DRIVER CIRCUIT OPEN
(L160) RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
(Z904) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
PARK AND TURN SIGNAL BULB
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)

1. INTERMITTENT CONDITION


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: B1640-FRONT RIGHT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes


No


2. CHECK THE (L160) RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE IN THE HARNESS


1. Turn the Right Turn Signal off.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Disconnect the Right Front Park/Turn Lamp harness connector.
4. Disconnect the TIPM C4 harness connector.
5. Turn the ignition on.
6. Measure the voltage between ground and the (L160) Right Front Turn Signal Driver circuit.


Is there any voltage present?

Yes


No


3. CHECK THE TIPM FOR CORRECT OPERATION


1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Reconnect the TIPM C4 harness connector.
3. Connect a 12-volt test light between the (L160) Right Front Turn Signal Driver circuit and the (Z904) Ground circuit at the Right Front Park/Turn Lamp harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Turn the Right Turn Signal on.


Does the test light blink on and off?

Yes


No


4. CHECK THE (L160) RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN IN THE HARNESS


1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TIPM C4 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (L160) Right Front Turn Signal Driver circuit between the Right Front Park/Turn Lamp harness connector and the TIPM C4 harness connector.


Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes


No


5. CHECK THE (Z904) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN IN THE HARNESS


1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z904) Ground circuit.


Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No
