   Are both data list values correct?

   YES 

   The R TURN SW and the L TURN SW wires are not shorted. Replace the combination light switch .

   NO 

   Repair a short between the wires.

4. Determine possible failure area (L TURN SW line, R TURN SW line)

   -1. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   Turn Signal Switch (LEFT)	ON
   Turn Signal Switch (RIGHT)	OFF

   -3. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   Turn Signal Switch (LEFT)	ON

   Is TURN SIGNAL SWITCH (LEFT) value ON?

   YES 

   Repair a short to ground in the wire.

   NO

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Combination light switch 12P connector

   -3. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   Turn Signal Switch (RIGHT)	ON

   Is TURN SIGNAL SWITCH (RIGHT) value ON?

   YES 

   Repair a short to ground in the wire.

   NO
