The hazard flashers may be activated in any power mode. The hazard switch is permanently grounded through G201. When the hazard switch is placed in the ON position, ground is applied through the hazard switch signal circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM supplies battery voltage to all four turn signal lamps in an ON and OFF duty cycle. When the hazard switch is placed in the ON position, the instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a signal from the BCM via GMLAN requesting both turn signal indicators to be cycled ON and OFF.

⇒ | If the hazard lamps remain illuminated, repair the hazard switch signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
