The component parts of this system and their function are as shown in the f\
ollowing table.
Parts NameFunction
Turn Signal SwitchSwitches current from the turn signal flasher to the left side or right \
side.
Hazard Warning
SwitchModifies the circuit to the flasher relay and turn signal switch in acco\
rdance with the
respective switch positions.
Turn Signal FlasherReceives current from the hazard warning switch and flashes the turn sig\
nal lights by
switching the current to the lights ON and OFF.

(Operation)
LHD Side
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (±) lead to 4.
(b) Connect the two turn signal light bulbs parallel to each other to terminals 3 and 4, check that bulbs flash.
RHD Side
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (±) lead to 2.
(d) Connect two turn signal light bulbs parallel to each other
to terminals 2 and 5, check that the bulbs flash.
HINT: The turn signal lights should flash 60 to 120 times per
minute.
If one of the front or rear turn signal lights has an open circuit,
the number of flashes will be more than 140 per minute.
If operation is not as specified, replace the flasher.
