Hazard Warning Lamps
The hazard warning lamps are controlled by a non-latching switch in the center of the IP. The hazard warning lamps operate at all times when selected and are not dependent on the ignition power mode.
When the hazard warning lamps are selected on, all of the turn signal indicators operate as previously described and both left and right turn signal indicators in the IC also flash. The hazard warning lamps flash at a rate of 400 ms on and 400 ms off. When the hazard warning lamps are active, they override any request for turn signal indicator operation.
The hazard warning lamps can also be activated by a crash signal from the Restraints Control Module (RCM). This is received by the BCM/GWM assembly which activates the hazard warning lamps. The hazard warning lamps can be cancelled when crash mode is cancelled by the RCM.
