Turn Signals
The SASM monitors the multifunction switch position. When the multifunction switch is in the left or right turn position, the SASM sends a turn signal switch status message over the LIN circuit to the BCM indicating a request for the left or right turn signal.
When the BCM receives a request for a turn signal, the BCM supplies on/off voltage to the appropriate turn lamps. The BCM sends a turn indicator command message over the MS-CAN to the door models for the exterior mirror turn lamps (if equipped) and the HCM for the front cornering lamps (High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps).
The timed on/off cycle for turn lamps is determined by the BCM and is set to flash approximately 70 times per minute if both the front and rear turn signal lamps operate correctly. If a front or rear turn signal lamp is inoperative, the BCM fast flashes the remaining turn lamp(s) approximately 150 times per minute to indicate a bulb outage to the driver.
The multifunction switch is a momentary contact switch, with 2 detents for the left turn position and 2 detents for the right turn position. When placed in the first detent and released, the corresponding turn signals flash 3 times and turn off. When the multifunction switch is moved to the second detent, the turn signal flashes until the steering wheel is turned in the opposite direction to mechanically return the multifunction switch to the rest position.
The BCM also provides Field Effect Transistor (FET) protection of the turn lamp output circuits. When an excessive current draw is detected, the BCM disables the affected circuit driver.

Hazard Lamps
The BCM sends a voltage signal to the hazard flasher lamp switch (on vehicles equipped with base or premium audio systems, this is integrated into the FCIM) to monitor for a hazard lamp function request. When the hazard flasher lamp switch is pressed, the voltage signal is routed to ground, indicating a request to activate or deactivate the hazard lamp function.
When the BCM receives a request for the hazard lamps, the BCM supplies on/off voltage to all the turn lamps.
The timed on/off cycle for the hazard lamps is approximately 70 times per minute, regardless of bulb outage.
