General Information for Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS003P2
In most cases, malfunction of xenon headlamp - "does not illuminate", "flickers" or "dark" - is caused by a mal-
functioning xenon bulb. A HID control unit or lamp housing, however, may be a cause of malfunction. Be sure
to perform trouble diagnosis following the steps described below.
Caution:NKS003P3
Installation or removal of connector must be done with lighting switch OFF.
Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal or remove power fuse.
When the lamp is illuminated (when lighting switch is ON), never touch harness, HID control unit, inside of
lamp, or lamp metal parts.
To check illumination, temporarily install lamp in vehicle. Be sure to connect power at vehicle side connec-
tor.
If error can be traced directly to electrical system, first check for items such as blown fuses and fusible
links, broken wires or loose connectors, dislocated terminals, and improper connections.
Never work with wet hands.
Using a tester for HID control unit circuit trouble diagnosis is prohibited.
Disassembling HID control unit or harnesses (bulb socket harness, ECM harness) is prohibited.
Immediately after illumination, light intensity and color will fluctuate, but there is nothing wrong.
When bulb has come to end of its life, brightness will drop significantly, it will flash repeatedly, or light color
will turn reddish.
Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS003P4
1. CHECK 1: XENON HEADLAMP LIGHTING
Install normal xenon bulb to corresponding xenon bulb headlamp, and check if lamp lights up.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace xenon bulb.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK 2: XENON HEADLAMP LIGHTING
Install normal HID control unit to corresponding xenon headlamp, and check if lamp lights up.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace HID control unit.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK 3: XENON HEADLAMP LIGHTING
Install normal xenon lamp housing assembly to corresponding xenon headlamp, and check if lamp lights up.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace xenon headlamp housing assembly. [Malfunction in starter (boosting circuit) in xenon
headlamp housing]

Aiming AdjustmentNKS003P5
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
2. Place vehicle on flat surface.
3. Set that there is no-load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.
LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM
1. Turn headlamp low beam ON.
2. Use adjusting screws to perform aiming adjustment.

ADJUSTMENT USING AN ADJUSTMENT SCREEN (LIGHT/DARK BORDERLINE)
If the vehicle front body has been repaired and/or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check aiming.
Use the aiming chart shown in the figure.
Basic illumination area for adjustment should be within the range shown on the aiming chart.
Adjust headlamp accordingly.
Bulb ReplacementNKS003P6
HEADLAMP (INNER) HIGH BEAM
1. Turn lighting switch OFF.
2. Disconnect negative battery cable or remove circuit fuse.
3. Remove air cleaner case when replacing bulb LH. Refer to EM-17, "
Removal and Installation" (VQ35) or
EM-177, "
Removal and Installation" (VK45).
4. Remove washer tank inlet when replacing bulb RH. Refer to WW-47, "
Removal and Installation of Washer
Ta n k" .
