  • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts?
J2 CHECK CIRCUIT 44 (LB) Yes

GO to J3 .

No

REPAIR the circuit.

TEST the system for normal operation.
  • Key in OFF position.
  • Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202b.
  • Measure the resistance between multifunction switch C202b Pin 44, Circuit 44 (LB), harness side and the electronic flasher C2141 Pin 1, Circuit 44 (LB), harness side; and between multifunction switch C202b Pin 44, Circuit 44 (LB), harness side and ground.

  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms between the multifunction switch and the electronic flasher, and greater than 10,000 ohms between the multifunction switch and ground?
J3 CHECK THE CONTINUITY OF THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH Yes
