ILLUMINATIONPFP:27545
System DescriptionAKS007EI
Control of the illumination lamps operation is dependent upon the position of the lighting switch (combination
switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated)
the BCM (body control module) receives input signal requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input
signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN
communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module
engine room) controls the tail lamp relay coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to the illumination
lamps, which then illuminate.
Power is supplied at all times

to tail lamp relay [located in IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)]

through 10A fuse [No. 71, located in IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)].
Power is also supplied at all times

through grounds E21, E50, and E51.
ILLUMINATION OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives
input signal requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R
across the CAN communication lines. The central processing unit of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay
coil, which, when energized, directs power

through IPDM E/R terminal 22

to glove box lamp terminal 1

to A/T device (illumination) terminal 11

through grounds B15 and B45.
With power and ground supplied, illumination lamps illuminate.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is acti-
vated), and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the illumination lamps are
turned off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by the battery saver control, and illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
CAN Communication System DescriptionAKS007EJ
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitAKS0080Y
Refer to LAN-6, "CAN Communication Unit" .
