Hazard Indicator (Red Triangle)

The hazard indicator illuminates when a severe concern within the hybrid electric system is detected and continued use of the vehicle is likely to cause damage to the system or to the vehicle. When the concern is present, the control module detects, sets the DTC and broadcasts a CAN message to the IPC which turns the indicator ON.

The hazard indicator is turned OFF when the concern is no longer present and the ignition is cycled. If the hazard indicator flashes at the once per second rate, it indicates the vehicle is in the engine cranking diagnostic mode. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODES for engine cranking diagnostic mode.
