SOURCE: HAZARD LIGHTS ON BUT NOT

HI,
I have the same problem - it is the relay switch attached to and behind the hazard warning triangle on the dashboard. Pull it all out (gently and replace (£60 ish). The indicators and hazard lights are on the same relay circuit. This is a well known problem for this car (amongst others - how about the wipers sticking)

My Buick 2004 rendevous,my door ajar light stays on and it dings, and the locks, lock and unlock a the while when driving

Probably the switch input to the BCM is bad . door ajar switch .
The BCM is also capable of commanding other vehicle systems to control functions that are not directly wired to and/or controlled by the BCM. The BCM accomplishes this task by sending specific messages on the class 2 serial data link. The vehicle system capable of performing such function will respond to the BCM message.
The BCM controls/monitors the following functions:
• Audible warnings
• Indicators control
• Interior lighting
• Exterior lighting
• Power/automatic door locks
• Keyless entry
• Content theft deterrent
• Personalization
• Serial Power Modes
• Electrical Power Management

Audible Warning
The body control module (BCM) provides the following audible control functions. Some audible control functions may be controlled by other systems through the class 2 serial data link:
• Headlamp on reminder
• Key in ignition reminder
• Personalization mode
• Delay locking indication
• Keyless entry programming/diagnostic mode indication

Indicator Control
The body control module (BCM) provides the following indicator control functions through the class 2 serial data circuits. Some indicator control functions may be controlled by other systems through the class 2 serial data link:
• Door ajar
• Liftglass/endgate ajar
• Park brake
• High beam
• Park lamp malfunction
• Service vehicle soon
• Personalization mode
• Security LED
• Battery

Where to find the traction control switch on a 2001 chevy cavalier

Doesn't have one ! The electronic brake control module turns it on an off when there is a problem ! Your light on ? DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes stored .
Traction Off
The IPC illuminates the traction off indicator when the following occurs:
• The electronic brake control module (EBCM) inhibits the traction control system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The traction control system is disabled when the following occurs:
- For Chevrolet only, the shift lever is in FIRST (1) or SECOND (2) gear. The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the powertrain control module (PCM) indicating the gear position.
- For Pontiac and Oldsmobile only, the body control module (BCM) detects that the traction control switch is pressed (signal circuit is low). The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating the switch status.
- The BCM detects that the park brake is engaged (signal circuit is low) and that the engine is on. The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating the park brake status.
- The PCM detects certain malfunctions and is unable to perform torque reduction requests from the EBCM. The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating that traction control cannot be performed.
• The EBCM detects a malfunction in the traction control system. The IPC receives class 2 messages from the EBCM requesting illumination of both the service vehicle soon and traction off indicators.
• The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.

Service electrical system is flashing what does it mean my car is a Cadillac Seville 2003

WHEN SERVICE ELEC SYSTEM IS FLASHING. PLEASE CHECK FOLLOWING:-

1. Check for a voltage drop to the Power Train Control Module (PCM) and Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) when the problem is happening.

2. If the voltage is less than Battery Voltage (B+) when the problem happens check for a voltage drop through the ignition switch. Tech Tips: SERVICE ELECTRICAL SYS - 106
The IPC illuminates the SERVICE ELECTRICAL SYS -- 106 message in the DIC when one of the following conditions exist:

• The Dash Integration Module (DIM) detects a malfunction that is related to the ignition switch.

The IPC receives a class 2 message requesting illumination from the DIM.

• There is a Powertrain related code present.

The IPC receives a class 2 message requesting illumination from the PCM.

Conditions for Setting the DTC P1574
A 2.5 mph or greater decrease in non-drive wheel speed in 0.4 second and extended travel brake switch or TCC brake switch indicating brakes applied and no transition noticed in the stop lamp contacts of the stop lamp switch.
ALSO CHECK FOR FAULT CODES IN THE OBD.

The indicator lights are all stuck on. AU Ford station wagon. Removed relay, and all fuses, but still on. Disconnected battery and they turned off. Reconnected battery and they all came back on with no...

The AU ford has two indicator relays , turning lights and hazard lights ,both use the indicator lights ,the hazards flash both front and rear lights , the turning indicator flashes one front and one rear light. I think the fault may be in the hazard circuit.
