PINPOINT TEST C : An Individual Or Group Of Flashing LEDs Is Inoperative Or Always On
- C1 CHECK THE FLASHING LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES (LEDs)
- Ignition OFF.
- Activate and observe all the flashing LEDs.
Is only an individual flashing LED inoperative?
Yes For a front park or turn or warn LED concern, GO to Pinpoint Test E . For all others, GO to C2. No GO to C4. - C2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE FLASHING LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED)
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inoperative Flashing LED.
- Ignition ON.
- Activate the suspect flashing LED.
- Measure:

Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes INSTALL a new flashing LED. REFER to the appropriate procedure in this article. No REPAIR the circuit. - Measure:
- C4 CHECK THE FLASHING LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED) ZONE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Inline C4808A.
- Connect a fused jumper wire:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C4808A-2 C4808A-1 C4808A-3 C4808A-1 C4808A-8 C4808A-1 C4808A-7 C4808A-1
Do the suspect flashing LEDs now operate?
Yes REMOVE the jumper wire. Verify the lighting relay center or lighting and siren control module 10A output fuses are OK. If OK, GO to C6. If not OK, REFER to the OEM ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM INTRODUCTION to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. No REMOVE the jumper wire. GO to C5. - C5 CHECK THE GROUND TO THE FLASHING LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED)
- Disconnect: Inoperative Flashing LED.
- Measure:

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes REPAIR the flashing LED voltage circuit. No REPAIR the circuit. - C6 CHECK THE CONTROL HEAD
- Replace the suspect control head with a known good control head.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes INSTALL a new communication cable between the control head and the lighting relay center or lighting and siren control module. TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern returns, GO to C7. No INSTALL a new control head. - C7 CHECK FOR CORRECT LIGHTING CONTROL OPERATION
- For vehicles with lighting and siren control, disconnect and inspect all the lighting and siren control module connectors and jumpers.
- For vehicles with lighting control only, disconnect and inspect all the lighting relay center connectors and jumpers.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins as necessary
- pushed-out-pins - install new pins as necessary
- For vehicles with lighting and siren control, reconnect the lighting and siren control module connectors and all previously disconnected exterior system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- For vehicles with lighting control only, reconnect the lighting relay center connectors and all previously disconnected exterior system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, CONTACT Whelen Service/Diagnostics at 1-860-526-9504, extension 8308. No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
