CAN communication while the turn signal lamp and the hazard warning lamp operating.
- Combination meter outputs the turn signal sound with the integrated buzzer while blinking the turn signal indicator lamp according to the turn indicator status signal.

HIGH FLASHER OPERATION

- BCM detects the turn signal lamp circuit status from the current value.
- BCM increases the turn signal lamp blinking speed if the bulb or harness open is detected with the turn signal lamp operating.
NOTE:
The blinking speed is normal while operating the hazard warning lamp.
