Circuit Description

The body control module (BCM) illuminates the RF turn signal lamp during daytime running lamps operation in the day mode. The BCM applies steady power to the RF turn signal lamp which illuminates the RF turn lamp in a non flashing mode.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The BCM must be commanding the RF turn signal lamp on.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The BCM detects a short to battery in the supply voltage circuit of the RF turn signal lamp or the RF signal circuit of the turn signal switch.
    • The condition above must be present for more than 20 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The BCM stores DTC B2608 in memory.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A current DTC B2608 will clear if the BCM no longer detects a short to battery in the supply voltage circuit of the RF turn signal lamp.
    • A history DTC B2608 will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the condition is no longer present.
    • The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
    • If the DTC B2608 is a history DTC, the fault may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
    • The following conditions may cause an intermittent condition to occur:
       - An intermittent short to battery in the supply voltage circuit of the RF turn signal lamp or in the RF signal circuit of the turn signal switch.
       - The BCM is intermittently shorted to battery.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. Tests for voltage at the turn signal lamp.

    2.

  2. Tests the supply voltage circuit of the turn signal lamp for a short to voltage.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, command the RF turn signal lamp control ON and OFF.

Does the RF turn signal lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?

Go to Diagnostic Aids

Go to Step 3

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the RF turn signal lamp.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Probe the RF turn signal lamp voltage supply circuit with a test lamp that is connected to ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?
