Hazard Warning Lamps: Description and Operation



HAZARD FLASHER LAMPS

The hazard flashers may be activated in any power mode. The hazard switch is permanently grounded through G201. When the hazard switch is placed in the ON position, ground is applied through the hazard switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM supplies battery voltage to all four turn signal lamps in an ON and OFF duty cycle. When the hazard switch is placed in the ON position, the instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a signal from the hazard switch and applies voltage through the hazard flash indicator circuit to the hazard switch to illuminate the hazard indicator.
