Lighting System
OPERATION
1. When operation is normal
l
When the ignition switch is switched to the
ON position, battery voltage is applied (via
the multi-purpose fuse and hazard switch)
to the turn-signal and hazard flasher unit.
Battery voltage is also always applied via the
multi-purpose fuse
and the stop light
switch to the turn-signal and hazard flasher
unit.
l
When the turn-signal switch is placed in the
LH (or position, the LH Trl (or RH
repeatedly switches from ON to OFF. At the
same time, the contacts of LH relay 1 (or the
contacts of RH
repeatedly switch from
ON to OFF, causing the turn-signal lights and
turn-signal indicator light LH (or to flash.
l
When the brake pedal is depressed while
the turn-signal lights LH (or RH) are flashing,
the stop light switch enters the ON state.
Then the LH (or
rear combination lights
that are indicating the turning direction con-
tinue to flash. In the other rear combination
lights that are not indicating the turning
direction, however, the stop light comes on.
2. If one of the bulbs is burned-out
l
If the LH (or turn-signal light bulb is
burned-out, the the turn-signal
circuit as a whole increases, resulting in
shorter ON and OFF intervals of the LH Trl
(or RH
and a higher flashing rate of the
LH lights (or RH lights).
When the turn-signal switch is placed in the
LH (or position, if the contacts of the LH
relay 3 (or the contacts of the RH relay 4)
continue to be OFF, the front combination
lights alone will flash at a higher rate just like
when a turn-signal light bulb is burned-out,
whereas the rear combination lights cease
to flash.
COMPONENT LOCATION
Turn-signal and hazard flasher unit
<Hazard-warning lights>
l
When the hazard-warning switch is switched to
the
position, the relay contact of the turn
signal and hazard flasher unit is switched ON
and OFF repeatedly, in the same manner as for
the operation of the turn-signal lights, and the
left and right turn-signal lights and turn-signal
indicator lights simultaneously flash repeatedly.
NOTE
The number of flashes of the hazard-warning
lights does not change if there is damaged or
disconnected wiring of one light.
(2) The light automatic shut-OFF system is valid
for the illumination light of the hazard switch.
