Turn Signals: Description and Operation

Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps are powered from the turn signal circuit. When the multifunction switch is activated and the headlamps are on, the cornering lamp on the turn side will illuminate, and remain illuminated until the turn signal cancels.

Turn Signal and Hazard Lamps
The turn signal and hazard lamp system consists of the following:
^ Turn signal miniature bulbs.
^ Lighting Control Module (LCM).
^ Turn signal indicators in the instrument cluster.
^ Multifunction switch.
^ Circuit wiring and circuit protection.

The turn signal system operates as follows:
^ The turn signal functions are carried out by double filament bulbs in lamp assemblies located next to the headlamps in front and in the rear lamp assemblies.
^ The turn/hazard function utilizes the second filament of the appropriate bulb(s).
^ With the multifunction switch in the right turn position, power is supplied to the RH front and rear turn signal miniature bulbs and the RH turn indicator in the instrument cluster.
^ With the multifunction switch in the left turn position, power is supplied to the LH front and rear turn signal miniature bulbs and the LH turn indicator in the instrument cluster.

Hazard Lamps Switch
The hazard lamps switch (part of the multifunction switch) is located on the top of the steering column, forward of the steering wheel.
^ The hazard lamps switch should cycle smoothly from OFF to ON by pressing and releasing the switch top.
^ The switch should produce an audible click when it toggles from one state to another.
^ The switch should extend markedly further above the column when the switch is ON than it does when it is OFF.

When the hazard lamps switch is in the ON position, the four turn signal lamps will flash. Also, the two turn indicators in the instrument cluster will flash simultaneously.
