I believe the only lights that the "light" checks are taillights, high mount center light, backup light, and license plate. The turn signals are monitors by the "blinkers" so if they're out, they will blink really fast, instead of slow and steady. Check all the lights with someone behind the vehicle to look through all the lights.

If you do have the LED tail lights (aftermarket) then did you install resistors?

If they are the stock oem tail lights, check all of the bulbs.
