FLASHER TIMER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE FLASHER TIMERM1549023600238
Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-90
Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-80The following ECUs affect the functions and control
of the flasher timer.
FLASHER TIMER FUNCTION
.
TURN-SIGNAL LAMP
The turn-signal lamp output (flashing signal) is turned ON when
the ignition switch is ON and the turn-signal lamp switch is ON
(LH or RH). If the front turn-signal lamp or rear turn-signal lamp
bulb has burned out, the flashing speed increases to indicate
that the bulb has burned out.
NOTE: If LH or RH side turn signal lamp bulbs have burned
out, the flashing speed will remain the same.
.
TURN-SIGNAL INDICATORS
At the same time that the turn-signal lamps are illuminated, the
ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the turn-signal lamp
indicator via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives
the transmitted signal and turns the turn-signal lamp indicator
on and off.
.
HAZARD WARNING LAMP
Detects the signal where the hazard warning lamp switch input
changes from OFF to ON, and reverse the flashing state
according to this signal. The hazard warning lamps toggle on
and off whenever the hazard warning lamp switch is operated.
NOTE: The hazard warning lamp switch is a push-return type
toggle switch. FUNCTION CONTROL ECU
Turn-signal lamp ETACS-ECU, column switch
Turn-signal indicators ETACS-ECU, column switch
