switched battery current received on a fused B(+) cir-
cuit so that the hazard warning remains operational
regardless of the ignition switch position. When the
turn signal (multi-function) switch control stalk is
moved up (right turn) or down (left turn), the turn
signal system is activated. When the turn signal sys-
tem is activated, the circuitry of the turn signal
switch and the combination flasher will cause the
selected (right or left) turn signal indicator, front
park/turn signal lamp, and rear tail/stop/turn signal
lamp to flash on and off. With the hazard warning
(multi-function) switch in the On position, the hazard
warning system is activated. When the hazard warn-
ing system is activated, the circuitry of the hazard
warning switch and the combination flasher will
cause both the right side and the left side turn signal
indicators, front park/turn signal lamps, and rear
tail/stop/turn signal lamps to flash on and off.
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the turn signal and hazard warning sys-
tem.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL &
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
When diagnosing the turn signal and hazard warn-
ing circuits, remember that high generator output
can burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to
diagnose and repair the charging system as required.
If the problem being diagnosed is related to a failure
of the turn signals to automatically cancel following
completion of a turn, inspect the multi-function
switch for a faulty or damaged cancel actuator and
inspect the turn signal cancel cam on the clockspring
for damaged lobes or improper installation. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Actuate the turn signal switch or the hazard warning
switch. Observe the turn signal indicator lamp(s) in
the instrument cluster. If the flash rate is very high,
check for a turn signal bulb that is not lit or is very
dimly lit. Repair the circuits to that lamp or replace
the faulty bulb, as required. If the turn signal indi-
cator(s) fail to light, go to Step 2.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check the fused ignition switch output (run-acc) fuse
(Fuse 10 - 10 ampere) in the Junction Block (JB) and
the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse4-20ampere) in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse(s).
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse4-20ampere) in the PDC. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the PDC and the battery as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse 10 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open

BR/BELAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR 8L - 3
LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR (Continued)

The Integrated Circuitry (IC) within the combina-
tion flasher (Fig. 6) contains the logic that controls
the flasher operation and the flash rate. Pin 6 of the
IC receives a sense voltage from the hazard warning
circuit of the multi-function switch. When the hazard
warning switch is turned on, the9hazard on sense9
voltage will become low due to the circuit being
grounded through the turn signal bulbs. This low
voltage sense signals the IC to energize the flash con-
trol Positive-Negative-Positive (PNP) transistor at a
pre-calibrated flash rate or frequency. Each time the
PNP transistor energizes the hazard warning circuit,
the pin 69hazard on sense9voltage will become high
and the IC signals the PNP transistor to de-energize
the circuit. This cycling will continue until the haz-
ard warning switch is turned off.
Likewise, pin 8 of the IC receives a sense voltage
from the turn signal circuits of the multi-function
switch. When the left or right turn signal switch is
turned on, the9turn signal on sense9voltage will
become low due to the circuit being grounded
through the turn signal bulbs. This low voltage sense
signals the IC to energize the flash control PNP tran-
sistor at a pre-calibrated flash rate or frequency.
Each time the PNP transistor energizes the turn sig-
nal circuit, the pin 89turn signal on sense9voltage
will become high and the IC signals the PNP transis-
tor to de-energize the circuit. This cycling will con-
tinue until the right or left turn signal switch is
turned off.A special design feature of the combination flasher
allows it to9sense9that a turn signal circuit or bulb
is not operating, and provide the driver an indication
of the condition by flashing the remaining bulbs in
the affected circuit at a higher rate (120 flashes-per-
minute or higher). Conventional flashers either con-
tinue flashing at their typical rate (heavy-duty type),
or discontinue flashing the affected circuit entirely
(standard-duty type). During turn signal operation,
the combination flasher IC compares normal battery
voltage input on pin 2 with the shunt resistor voltage
input on pin 7. If the IC9senses9that the voltage dif-
ference between pin 2 and pin 7 is different than the
pre-calibrated value of the IC, it will increase the
rate at which it signals the PNP transistor to ener-
gize the pin 1 output. Thus, the inoperative half (left
or right side) of the turn signal circuit will flash
faster.
Because of the active electronic elements within
the combination flasher, it cannot be tested with con-
ventional automotive electrical test equipment. If the
combination flasher is believed to be faulty, test the
turn signal system and hazard warning system. Then
replace the combination flasher with a known good
unit to confirm system operation. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/TURN

²Turn Signal Control- The multi-function
switch control stalk actuates the turn signal switch.
When the control stalk is moved in the upward direc-
tion, the right turn signal circuitry is activated; and,
when the control stalk is moved in the downward
direction, the left turn signal circuitry is activated.
The multi-function switch turn signal circuitry simul-
taneously provides a signal to the turn signal sense
of the combination flasher to activate or deactivate
the flasher output, and directs the output of the
flasher to the proper turn signal lamps. The turn sig-
nal switch has a detent position in each direction
that provides turn signals with automatic cancella-
tion, and an intermediate, momentary position in
each direction that provides turn signals only until
the multi-function switch control stalk is released.
When the control stalk is moved to a turn signal
switch detent position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn sig-
nal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
mechanism rotates with the steering wheel and the
cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is
extended from the multi-function switch. When the
steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver,
one of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will con-
tact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in
the direction opposite that which is signaled. In other
words, if the left turn signal detent is selected, the
lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the
left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the steer-
ing wheel rotates to the right and returns to center,
which will cancel the turn signal event and release
the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the
neutral Off position.
²Washer Mode- Pushing the button on the end
of the multi-function switch control knob towards the
steering column provides a battery current output
through the momentary single pole, single throw
washer switch circuitry to operate the washer pump/
motor and provides a signal to the CTM. If the wip-
ers are not operating when the washer switch is
actuated, the CTM will operate the wiper motor for
as long as the washer switch is depressed plus about
three additional wipe cycles. If the wipers are oper-
ating in the intermittent mode when the washer
switch is actuated, the CTM will operate the wiper
motor at a fixed low speed for as long as the washer
switch is depressed plus about three additional wipe
cycles before the wipers return to the selected inter-
mittent wipe interval.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MULTI-FUNCTION

TURN SIGNAL CANCEL CAM
DESCRIPTION
The turn signal cancel cam is concealed within the
steering column below the steering wheel. The turn
signal cancel cam consists of two lobes that are inte-
gral to the lower surface of the clockspring rotor. The
clockspring mechanism provides turn signal cancella-
tion as well as a constant electrical connection
between the horn switch, driver airbag, speed control
switches, and remote radio switches on the steering
wheel and the instrument panel wire harness on the
steering column. The housing of the clockspring is
secured to the steering column and remains station-
ary. The rotor of the clockspring, including the turn
signal cancel cam lobes rotate with the steering
wheel.
The turn signal cancel cam is serviced as a unit
with the clockspring and cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire clockspring unit must be
replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/
CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The turn signal cancel cam has two lobes molded
into the lower surface of the clockspring rotor. When
the turn signals are activated by moving the multi-
function switch control stalk to a detent position, a
turn signal cancel actuator is extended from the
inside surface of the multi-function switch housing
toward the center of the steering column and the
turn signal cancel cam. When the steering wheel is
rotated during a turning maneuver, one of the two
turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn sig-
nal cancel actuator. The cancel actuator latches
against the cancel cam rotation in the direction oppo-
site that which is signaled. In other words, if the left
turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel
cam will ratchet past the cancel actuator when the
steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch
the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to
the right and returns to center, which will cancel the
turn signal event and release the control stalk from
the detent so it returns to the neutral Off position.
