Hazard Warning Switch Test/Replacement




Hazard Warning Switch Test/Replacement

1. Remove these items:

- With navigation; audio-navigation and HVAC switch panel Audio-Navigation and HVAC Switch Panel Removal/Installation
- Without navigation; audio and HVAC switch panel Audio and HVAC Switch Panel Removal/Installation

2. Push out the hazard warning switch (A) from behind the vent panel.





3. Disconnect the 5P connector (B) from the hazard warning switch.

4. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.

NOTE:

- Make sure the correct test lead (+ or -) is placed on the terminal.
- When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting () on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
- Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).





5. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the hazard warning switch.

6. Install the switch in the reverse order of removal.
