Diagnostic Test

  1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, clear all DTCs.
    3. Turn the Left Turn Signal on.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active: B1644-REAR LEFT TURN LAMP CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  2. CHECK (Z910) GROUND CIRCUITS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Left Rear Turn Signal Lamp assembly harness connector.
    3. With a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe each (Z910) Ground circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly on each ground circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (Z910) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN 
    1. Measure the resistance of the appropriate (Z910) Ground circuit(s) at the Left Rear Turn Signal Lamp assembly harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  4. CHECK (L63) LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the Left Turn Signal still on and a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (L63) Left Rear Turn Signal Control circuit.

      Does the test light blink brightly from on to off with the turn signal indicator?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (L63) LEFT TURN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TIPM C7 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (L63) Left Rear Turn Signal Control circuit between the Left Rear Tail Lamp assembly harness connector and the TIPM C7 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. (L63) LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Measure for voltage on the (L63) Left Rear Turn Signal Control circuit.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No
