It means that a light is blown somewhere. Having a blown light reduces the amount of power needed therefore overloads the elec system. This makes the switch work faster.

The Indicator Flasher Module IC senses the current drawn by the lights and if the minimum normal load isn't seen (load = less because light bulb is blown) the IC decides that a bulb is blown and flashes the lights at a much faster rate so that you know a bulb is blown.

Mine was going nuts one day after I had just changed my brake light globe, I was like "wtf another light!". Turns out I had forgotten to plug the light back in so brake, reverse and indicator light didnt work :redface:
