Principles of Operation

NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

Turn Signal Lamps

Voltage is supplied by the SJB to the indicator flasher relay when the ignition switch is in the RUN position. When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN position, voltage
is routed to the multifunction switch, which then routes the voltage to the turn lamps. The electronic flasher relay then cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times per minute. If a
front or rear turn bulb is inoperative, the electronic flasher relay cycles the voltage on and off approximately 160 times per minute.

Hazard Lamps

Voltage is supplied by the SJB to the indicator flasher relay at all times. When the hazard switch is engaged, voltage is routed to the multifunction switch, which then routes the voltage to all
the turn lamps.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

Pinpoint Test I: The Turn Signal Lamps Are Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 90, Turn Signal/Stop/Hazard Lamps for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation — Except STX

The smart junction box (SJB) provides voltage to the indicator flasher relay through circuit CBP20 (YE/VT). The indicator flasher relay routes the voltage to the multifunction switch through
circuit CLS42 (VT/BN). When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN position, the multifunction switch routes the voltage to the LH or RH front turn lamps through circuits
CLS41 (GY/YE) and CLS39 (VT/WH), respectively. The multifunction switch also routes the voltage to the LH or RH rear lamps through the existing stoplamp circuitry. Ground for the
indicator flasher relay is provided through circuit GD161 (BK/YE).

Normal Operation — STX

The SJB provides voltage to the indicator flasher relay through circuit CBP20 (YE/VT). The indicator flasher relay routes the voltage to the multifunction switch through circuit CLS42
(VT/BN). When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH TURN position, the multifunction switch routes the voltage to the LH front and rear turn lamps through circuits CLS41 (GY/YE).
When the multifunction switch is placed in the RH TURN position, the multifunction switch routes the voltage to the RH front and rear turn lamps through circuits CLS39 (VT/WH). Ground
for the indicator flasher relay is provided through circuit GD161 (BK/YE).
