Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
The hazard switch (1) is located on the top of the steering column, just below the steering wheel. This switch is the control for the hazard warning
lighting. The only visible component of the switch is the control push button (2) that extends through the upper steering column shroud on the top of the
column. The remainder of the switch including its mounting provisions and its electrical connection (3) is concealed beneath the shroud.
The switch housing (3) and push button are constructed of molded black plastic. A red, stencil-like International Control and Display Symbol icon for
Hazard Warning identifies the hazard switch button. The switch is secured to the back of the Steering Control Module (SCM) (4) by plastic latch features
integral to the SCM housing. A single integral interface connector with two terminal pins is integral to the switch housing and connects the switch
directly to the SCM.
The hazard switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the switch is ineffective or damaged, the entire switch unit must be replaced.
