Turn Signal Lamp: Description and Operation

1. When operation is normal.
- When the ignition switch is switched to the ON position, battery voltage is applied (via the multi-purpose fuse � and hazard switch) to the turn-signal and hazard flasher unit. Battery voltage is also always applied via the multi-purpose fuse 17 and the stop light switch to the turn-signal and hazard flasher unit.
- When the turn-signal switch is placed in the LH (or RH) position, the LH Tri (or RH Tr2) repeatedly switches from ON to OFF. At the same time, the contacts of LH relay 1 (or the contacts of RH relay 2) repeatedly switch from ON to OFF, causing the turn-signal lights and turn-signal indicator light LH (or RH) to flash.
- When the brake pedal is depressed while the turn-signal lights LH (or RH) are flashing, the stop light switch enters the ON state. Then the LH (or RH) rear combination lights that are indicating the turning direction continue to flash. In the other rear combination lights that are not indicating the turning direction, however, the stop light comes on.

2. If one of the bulbs is burned-out
- If the LH (or RH) turn-signal light bulb is burned-out, the resistance of the turn-signal circuit as a whole increases, resulting in shorter ON and OFF intervals of the LH Tri (or RH Tr2) and a higher flashing rate of the LH lights (or RH lights). When the turn-signal switch is placed in the LH (or RH) position, if the contacts of the LH relay 3 (or the contacts of the RH relay 4) continue to be OFF, the front combination lights alone will flash at a higher rate just like when a turn-signal light bulb is burned out, whereas the rear combination lights cease to flash.


Hazard Warning Light

When the hazard-warning switch is switched to the "ON" position, the relay contact of the turn signal and hazard flasher unit is switched ON and OFF repeatedly, in the same manner as for the operation of the turn-signal lights, and the left and right turn-signal lights and turn-signal indicator lights simultaneously flash repeatedly

NOTE: The number of flashes of the hazard-warning lights does not change if there is damaged or disconnected wiring of one light.
