Combination Switch Inspection

  1. SYSTEM CHECK

    Referring to table below, check which system malfunctioning switch belongs to.

    System 1 System 2 System 3 System 4 System 5
    - FRONT WASHER FRONT WIPER LO TURN LH TURN RH
    FRONT WIPER HI - FRONT WIPER INT PASSING HEAD LAMP 1
    INT VOLUME 1 - - HEAD LAMP 2 HI BEAM
    - INT VOLUME 3 - - LIGHT SW 1ST
    INT VOLUME 2 - - FRONT FOG -

    Check the system to which the switch belongs, and GO TO 2.

  2. SYSTEM CHECK

    With CONSULT

    1. Connect CONSULT, and select "COMB SW" on BCM "SELECT TEST ITEM" screen.
    2. Select "DATA MONITOR".
    3. Select "START", and confirm that other switches in the system operate normally.

      Example: When turn signal LH is inoperative, confirm that PASSING, HEAD LAMP 2 or FRONT FOG (if equipped) turn ON-OFF normally.

      Without CONSULT

      Operate combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch), and confirm that other switches in the system operate normally.

      Example: When a turn signal switch is inoperative, confirm that FRONT WIPER LO or FRONT WIPER INT turn ON-OFF normally.

      Check results 

      Other switches in the system operate normally. >> Replace combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) or wiper switch.

      Other switches in the system do not operate normally. >> GO TO 3.

  3. HARNESS INSPECTION
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect BCM connector and combination switch connector.
    3. Check for continuity between BCM harness connector of the suspect system and the corresponding combination switch harness connector.

      Output 3 34
      4 Input 4 3
      Output 4 33
      5 Input 5 2
      Output 5 32

      OK or NG 

      OK: GO TO 4.

      NG: Check harness between BCM and combination switch for open or short circuit.

  4. CHECK BCM OUTPUT TERMINAL
    1. Connect BCM and combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) connectors.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Turn combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) and wiper switch to OFF position.
    4. Set wiper dial to position 4.
    5. Check BCM output terminal voltage waveform of suspect system.

    OK or NG 

    OK: Open circuit in combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch), GO TO 5.

    NG: Replace BCM. Refer to , "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BCM ".

  5. COMBINATION SWITCH INSPECTION

    Referring to table below, perform combination switch inspection.

    Procedure
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    Replace combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) Confirm check results OK INSPECTION END Confirm check results OK INSPECTION END Confirm check results OK INSPECTION END
    NG Replace wiper switch NG Replace switch base NG Confirm symptom again

    Inspection end.
