SIDE TURN LIGHT
Purpose
The side turn lights are used to signal vehicles/people at the side of the vehicle that the vehicle is going to make a right or left turn.
Function
When the BCM receives a turn light LH or RH signal sent via CAN communication from the start stop unit, it flashes the side turn light.
Construction
The side turn light is located on the front fender panel.
Operation
Turn light system
When the turn switch is moved to the LH or RH position with the ignition switched ON (engine off or on), the start stop unit detects (1) a turn switch LH or RH signal.
The start stop unit sends (2) the turn switch LH or RH signal to the BCM via CAN communication as a turn light LH or RH signal.
When the BCM receives the turn light LH or RH signal, it flashes (3) the side turn light (LH) or (RH).
Hazard warning system
When the hazard warning switch is on (1), the start stop unit detects (2) a hazard warning switch on signal.
The start stop unit sends (3) the hazard warning switch on signal to the BCM via CAN communication as a turn light LH and RH signals.
When the BCM receives the turn light LH and RH signals, it flashes (4) the side turn lights (LH) and (RH).
