DTC B3949 02
- Right Front Turn Signal Circuit Short to Ground
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
Ground is applied at all times to the turn signal/multifunction switch. The turn signal lamps may only be activated with the ignition switch in the
ON or START position. When the turn signal/multifunction switch is placed in either the TURN RIGHT or TURN LEFT position, ground is
applied to the body control module through either the right turn or left turn signal switch signal circuit. The BCM then applies a pulsating voltage to
the front and rear turn signal lamps through there respective voltage supply circuits. When a turn signal request is received by the BCM, a serial
data message is sent to the instrument cluster requesting the respective turn signal indicator be pulsed ON and OFF.
Conditions for Running the DTC
