TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNING LA MP SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000006213902
OUTLINE
Turn signal and the hazard warning lamp is controlled by combination switch reading function, flasher control
function and auto hazard function of BCM.
TURN SIGNAL LAMP OPERATION
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM supplies voltage to the right (left) turn signal la mp circuit when the ignition switch is turned ON and the
turn signal switch is in the right (left) position. BCM blinks the turn signal lamp.
HAZARD WARNING LAMP OPERATION
BCM supplies voltage to both turn signal lamp circuit when the hazard switch is turned ON. BCM blinks the
hazard warning lamp.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LAMP AND TURN SIGNAL SOUND OPERATION
 BCM transmits the turn indicator signal to the comb ination meter via CAN communication while the turn sig-
nal 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 signal.
HIGH FLASHER OPERATION
 BCM detects the turn signal lamp ci rcuit status from the current value.
 BCM increases the turn signal lamp blinking speed if the bulb or harness open is detected with the turn sig-
nal lamp operating.
NOTE:
The blinking speed is normal while operating the hazard warning lamp.

Never look directly into UV lamp light source.
NOTE:
 For continuous operating time of UV lamp, fo llow the manufacturer operating instructions.
 Illuminate piping joints from different angles us ing UV lamp and check that there is no leakage.
 Use a mirror in area that is difficult to see to check refrigerant leakage.
 Refrigerant leakage from evaporator can be detected by soaking cotton swab or a similar material with
drain hose water and illuminating it using UV lamp.
 Dust, dirt, and packing materials adhesive used for condenser, evaporator, and other locations may flu- oresce. Be careful not to misidentify leakage.
5. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leak age occurs and wipe off fluorescent leak detection dye.
NOTE:
Completely wipe off fluorescent leak detection dy e from gaps between parts, screw threads, and others
using a cotton swab or similar materials.
6. Use a UV lamp to check that no fluorescent leak detection dye remains after finishing work. WARNING:
Never look directly into UV lamp light source.
NOTE:
 For continuous operating time of UV lamp, fo llow the manufacturer operating instructions.
 Dust, dirt, and packing materials adhesive used for condenser, evaporator, and other locations may flu-
oresce. Be careful not to misidentify leakage.
CHECK REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE USIN G ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
WARNING:
Never check refrigerant leakage while the engine is running.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following items so that in accurate checks or misidentifications are avoided.
 Never allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapors, cigarette smoke, or others around the vehicle.
 Always check refrigerant leakage in a low air flow environment so that refrigerant may not disperse
when leakage occurs.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment or manifold gauge set to A/C service valve.
3. Check that A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or more when temperature is 16 °C
(61 °F) or more. When pressure is lower than the spec ified value, recycle refrigerant completely and fill
refrigerant to the specified level.
NOTE:
Leakages may not be detected if A/C refri gerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or less when
temperature is less than 16 °C (61 °F).
4. Clean area where refrigerant leakage check is per formed, and check refrigerant leakage along all sur-
faces of pipe connections and A/C system com ponents using electrical leak detector probe.
CAUTION:
 Continue checking when a leakage is found. Always continue and complete checking along all
pipe connections and A/C system co mponents for additional leakage.
 When a leakage is detected, clean leakage area using compressed air and check again.
 When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, al ways clean inside of drain hose so that the
probe surface may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:
 Always check leakage starting from high-pressure side and continue to low-pressure side.
 When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, operate blower fan motor for 15 minutes or more at the maximum fan speed while the engine is stopped, and then insert electrical leak detector probe into drain
hose and hold for 10 minutes or more.
 When disconnecting shut-off valve that is connected to A/C service valve, always evacuate remaining
refrigerant so that misidentification can be avoided.
5. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leak age is detected. (Leakage is detected but leakage area is
unknown. GO TO 6.)
6. Start the engine and set A/C control in the following conditions.  A/C switch ON
 Air flow: VENT (ventilation)
 Intake door position: Recirculation
