Main task
Used to activate hazard warning lights and to indicate that they are active. BCM transmits the function status on the bus.

Type
The button is single-pin, has a return spring and closes to ground when depressed. The button also contains an indicator lamp that is grounded internally.

Connection
The lead to the button is supplied 10.2 V via a BCM integrated resistor of 1.5 kohms. Control module inputs are digital; voltage over 2 V is interpreted as an open circuit while voltage lower than 2 V is interpreted as closed.










The indicator lamp in the button is supplied battery voltage from BCM in order to light.
