Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps are supplied voltage from the parking lamp circuit. When the multifunction switch is activated and the parking lamps are on, the cornering lamp illuminates on the turn side and remains illuminated until the turn signal cancels.

Turn Signals
When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN position, voltage is routed to the turn lamps. The lighting control module (LCM) flashes the turn lamps at approximately 80 times per minute if both the front and rear turn lamps operate correctly. If only an individual turn signal lamp operates, the LCM flashes the remaining turn lamp approximately 160 times per minute.

Hazard Lamps
When the hazard switch is engaged, the LCM flashes all the turn lamps at approximately 80 times per minute, if all the turn lamps operate correctly. If the LH or RH turn lamps are inoperative, the LCM flashes the remaining turn lamps approximately 160 times per minute.
