Why does the hazard lights of Haval H6 flash several times when bumping?
4 Answers
When the Haval H6 experiences bumps or sudden braking, the vehicle will identify it as an emergency and activate the safety configuration, automatically turning on the hazard lights to alert following vehicles to maintain distance. You can drive the car to a vehicle safety inspection center for a check in a safe area. Below is an introduction to vehicle hazard lights: 1. Hazard warning lights, commonly known as hazard lights or emergency flashers, are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to special situations occurring with the vehicle; 2. If the vehicle suddenly encounters a malfunction while driving on the road and cannot be moved to a safe area in time, the hazard warning lights should be turned on immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians to stay safe, and to call for help promptly while waiting for rescue.
I encountered this situation before when driving a Haval H6. The hazard lights would flash a few times after a bump, as if the vehicle's sensors were too sensitive. It might be that the jolt vibrated the collision sensor contacts, causing them to misinterpret a danger signal and trigger the flashing. The design of the Haval's control module sometimes leads to false alarms on bumpy roads, especially if the wiring under the car is loose—vibration can cause brief disconnections, making the lights flash a few times. You can start by checking if the hazard light button near the steering wheel is loose or dusty, leading to accidental activation. Then, inspect the corresponding fuse in the fuse box to see if it's blown or if the wiring connectors are worn out, causing poor contact. If you're unsure, it's best to visit a professional repair shop to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool and check if it's a sensor issue. While driving, try to avoid large potholes to reduce such occurrences. During regular maintenance, have the technician clean the sensor area and wiring connections to prevent this issue and ensure the car operates safely.
I've dealt with many similar vehicle conditions. The flickering hazard lights caused by bumps are mostly due to false actions in the electronic system, such as loose wiring contacts that briefly disconnect and reconnect during bumps, causing them to flash a few times. SUVs like the Haval H6 have slightly stiffer suspensions, and when encountering significant bumps, they might vibrate the flasher control module, leading to false responses—especially if the sensor interfaces are oxidized, making them more prone to issues. Regular car owners can first check if the headlight fuse is intact by unplugging and replugging it to test the tightness of the contact, and clean any dust off the button while at it. If the issue persists, the entire flasher circuit chain, including the control unit wiring, should be inspected for aging. It's best to stop after driving on bumpy roads to observe if the issue can be repeatedly triggered for diagnosis. The Haval series often has sensors positioned relatively low, making them susceptible to interference from bumps. It's recommended to drive steadily over uneven road sections. If time permits, upgrading the vehicle's software might fix some bugs related to overly sensitive settings.
While driving my Haval H6 to the grocery store, the hazard lights flashed a few times after some bumps. My husband said it might be due to a loose button contact or poor fuse connection. The jolting could have momentarily triggered the hazard light switch, as if manually pressed. You can try simple methods like checking the sensitivity of the button near the steering wheel or restarting the car to see if it returns to normal. When driving on bumpy roads, loose control components can easily cause minor glitches. It doesn’t affect safety, but the flashing is annoying. Just remember to ask the technician to adjust the tightness of the wiring connectors during the next maintenance service.
