DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
A turn signal system is standard factory-installed
safety equipment on this model. The turn signal sys-
tem uses ignition switched battery current, and will
operate only when the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions. The turn signal system includes
the following components:
• Combination flasher
• Turn signal cancelling cam
• Turn signal indicator lamps
• Turn signal lamps
• Turn signal switch.
Refer to Lamp in the proper section of Group 8L -
Lamps for more information on the exterior turn sig-
nal lamps. Refer to Instrument Cluster in the
proper section of Group 8E - Instrument Panel Sys-
tems for more information on the turn signal indica-
tor lamps. Following are general descriptions of the
major components in the turn signal system. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer to Turn Signals in
the Contents of Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the On or Accessory
position, and the turn signal (multi-function) switch
control stalk moved up (right turn) or down (left
turn), the turn signal system is activated. When the
turn signal system is activated, the circuitry of the
turn signal switch and the combination flasher will
cause the selected (right or left) turn signal indicator
lamp, front park/turn signal lamp, and rear tail/stop/
turn signal lamp to flash on and off in unison.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the turn signal system.
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
A hazard warning system is standard factory-in-
stalled safety equipment on this model. Unlike the
turn signal system, the hazard warning system uses
a non-switched source of battery current so that the
system will operate regardless of the ignition switch
position. The hazard warning system includes the fol-
lowing components:
• Combination flasher
• Hazard warning switch
• Turn signal indicator lamps
• Turn signal lamps.
Refer to Lamp in the proper section of Group 8L -
Lamps for more information on the exterior turn sig-
nal lamps. Refer to Instrument Cluster in the
proper section of Group 8E - Instrument Panel Sys-
tems for more information on the turn signal indica-
tor lamps. Following are general descriptions of the
major components in the hazard warning system. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer to Turn Signals in
the Contents of Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
OPERATION
With the hazard warning switch in the On posi-
tion, the hazard warning system is activated. When
the hazard warning system is activated, the circuitry
of the hazard warning switch and the combination
flasher will cause both the right side and the left side
turn signal indicator lamps, front park/turn signal
