7) Emergency Hazard Flasher Control (Coupled with ABS)

(1) System layout

(2) Emergency stop signal function

When ABS system is operating (or sudden braking), the hazard warning flashers will blink for 10 

seconds to inform the emergency situation to the vehicles behind.

(3) Operating process

When receiving the emergency stop signal through PCAN communication it blinks with the interval of 4 

Hz and when receiving the emergency stop OFF signal through PCAN communication it blinks with the 

interval of 1.25 Hz, normal operating speed.

However, the manual operation of the switch has a priority over this function.

Priority: Manual operation＞Emergency stop signal＞Emergency hazard flasher＞Auto hazard 

flasher

11-19

0000-00

The BCM flashes the emergency auto hazard flasher with interval of 1.25 times/sec.:

The emergency hazard flasher does not operate if the vehicle speed is over 50 km/h when the 

emergency stop signal is received.

The emergency hazard flasher operates if the vehicle speed is 50 km/h or lower when the 

emergency stop signal is received. 

When vehicle speed increases more than 10 km/h above the speed when the signal is received 

during operation by emergency braking signal, the emergency hazard flasher stops operation.

When turning emergency hazard flasher switch OFF during operation by emergency braking signal, 

it stops operation.

It is deactivated automatically 10 seconds after if items 2) and 3) above are not met during operation 

by emergency braking signal.

If multi-function automatic hazard flasher signal is received during operation by emergency braking 

signal, it will be overridden.

Circuit description

▶

When compared to the vehicle equipped with ABS/EBD only, the internal hydraulic circuit has a 

normally-open separation valve and a shuttle valve in primary circuit and in secondary circuit. 

When the vehicle brakes are not applied during engine running or when applying the non-ABS operating 

brakes, the normally-open separation valve and the inlet valve are open, whereas the normally-closed 

shuttle valve and the outlet valve are closed. 

When the ESP system is operating, the normally-open separation valve will be closed by the solenoid 

valve operation and the hydraulic circuit will be established by the shuttle valve. Then, the inlet and outlet 

valves will be closed or open depending on the braking pressure RISE, HOLD or DUMP conditions.

Flashing warning lamp and warning sound during ESP operation

▶

When the ESP operates while the vehicle is moving, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument panel 

flickers and the buzzer sounds at every 0.1 second. The ESP lamp operation is to inform a driver that the 

vehicle is extremely unstable. 

The ESP system is just a supplementary system for the vehicle and it cannot control the vehicle over the 

physical limit. Do not solely rely on the system but be advised to drive the vehicle safely.

Drive feeling during ESP operation

▶

When the ESP system activates, the driving feeling can be different depending on vehicle driving 

conditions. For example, it will feel different when the ESP system is activated while the ABS is operated 

by depressing the brake pedal and when the ESP system is in control without the brake pedal 

depressed on the same curve. 

If the ESP system operates with the brake applied, the brake pressure will be increased on the 

corresponding wheel which already has braking pressure for the ESP controls. In other words, the ESP 

system would make the driver feel more abruptly braked compared to the situation that the braking 

pressure is applied to wheel which had no braking force.

Noise and vibration that driver senses during ESP operation

▶

The ESP system may transfer noise and vibration to a driver due to the pressure changes caused by the 

motor and valve operations in a very short period of time. 

Extreme cornering will trigger the ESP operation and this will make the driver sense noise and vibration 

due to sudden brake application. 

Also, the ESP system controls the engine power. Therefore, the driver may notice the engine power 

decreases even when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
