DTC Descriptor
DTC B3596 00
- Hazard Lamps Request Circuit
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
When the hazard switch is placed in the ON position, ground is momentarily applied through the hazard switch signal circuit to the body control
module (BCM). The BCM will detect this voltage drop and will supply battery voltage to all four turn signal lamps in an ON and OFF duty cycle.
When the hazard switch is activated, the BCM sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) requesting both turn signal
indicators to be cycled ON and OFF.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition is ON
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to ground on the hazard switch signal circuit for greater than 1 min
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The hazard lamps will continuously function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC will be current for as long as the fault is present.
* When the fault is no longer present, the DTC will be a history DTC.
* A history DTC will clear after 50 ignition cycles.
