Hello Everyone,

Recently on my wife's 2011 Acura TSX, the right blinker indicator has started blinking super fast compared to the left side. I have checked all the turn signal bulbs (rear, side mirror and front) on the right (passenger) side of the car and they all appear to be functioning correctly. Could something else be going on? Also, if I get an OBD2 scanner, are there any codes or anything that could help me isolate the actual issue (or burnt bulb) that is causing the fast indicator?

If anyone needs any additional information to assist in the troubleshooting process, please let me know. Thank you in advance for everyone's time and help, it is greatly appreciated!


Thanks

The phenomena you have described is known as hyper flash. Usually happens when installing aftermarket bulbs. Since a new bulb should be really cheap, I would replace the bulb that is hyper-flashing and see if that fixes it.

its likely that one of the bulbs in the turn signal system on that side is burnt out.

the fast flash is meant to be an indicator of a burnt out bulb.

did you check to see if all the bulbs (front, rear, and mirror) are blinking? find the one that isn't blinking.

A lot of bulbs are dual element. So just because they are on when the lights are on doesn't mean they're blinking.

Yeah it seems one of your right turn signals are likely burnt out. I can't exactly recall, but I don't think you can test using the hazard light button. Turn on the right turn signals using the stalk and check the front, rear, and maybe even side mirror (albeit less likely it's your side mirror). I'm not aware of any other potential issues, however.

Thanks guys, will do some closer inspection! On another note, does anyone have the model number (bulb part-number) for the front turn signal bulb?

Thanks again for everyone's time and help, it is SUPER appreciated!

#15 on the diagram, I think.
