Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X2 harness connectors at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition OFF, exterior lamps OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal D and the control circuit terminal F. Low beam headlamps ON, verify the scan tool High Beam Select Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the control circuit terminal F for an open/high resistance.
  13. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
