Power is supplied at all times

through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)
to BCM (body control module) terminal 55
through 10A fuse [No. 21, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to BCM (body control module) terminal 42
through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 21 and

When the remote keyless entry system is triggered by input from the key fob, BCM (body control module) outputs turn signal from BCM (body control module) terminals 45 and 46, interpreting it as turn signal is ON. The BCM (body control module) supplies power
- from terminals 45 and 46
- to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 5
- through front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 10
- to grounds E15 and E24
- to rear combination lamp LH and RH terminal 3
- through rear combination lamp LH and RH terminal 5
- to grounds B7 and B19.

BCM (body control module) sends signal to unified meter and A/C amp through CAN communication lines, and turns on turn signal indicator lamp with combination meter.

With power and input supplied, the BCM controls the flashing of the hazard warning lamps when key fob is used to activate the remote keyless entry system.
