Side Marker/Turn Signal/Hazard Flasher System

Turn Signal/Hazard Relay Input Test

1. Remove the dashboard lower cover. Remove the

turn signal/hazard relay from the left kick panel,

then disconnect the 6P connector.

2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be

sure they are all making good contact.

If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair

them as necessary, and recheck the system.

If the terminals look OK, make the following input

tests at the connector.

— If any test indicates a problem, find and cor-

rect the cause, then recheck the system.

— If all the input tests prove OK, the control unit

must be faulty; replace it.
