Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS00BBI
System DescriptionEKS00BBJ
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 the IPDM E/R 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 ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

to tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to BCM terminal 70, and

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of the IPDM E/R, and

through 10A fuse [No.19, located in fuse block (J/B)]

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 CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil, which, when
energized, directs power

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, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

Checking Drive BeltsELS001PG
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove air duct and resonator assembly (inlet) when inspecting drive belt.
2. Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
“A” (between three line notches) as shown.
NOTE:

Check the auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

When the new drive belt is installed, the range should be “A” as shown.

The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the auto tensioner.
3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt. Refer to EM-13,
"DRIVE BELTS" .
DRIVE BELT TENSION
There is no manual drive belt tension adjustment. The drive belt tension is automatically adjusted by the auto
tensioner.
Changing Engine CoolantELS001PH
WARNING:

To avoid being scalded, never change the coolant when the engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around the cap to carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter of a
turn to release any built-up pressure, then push down and turn the cap all the way to remove it.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Turn ignition switch ON and set temperature control lever all the way to HOT position or the highest tem-
perature position. Wait 10 seconds and turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.

3. Open the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, and
remove the radiator filler cap. This is the only step required
when partially draining the cooling system (radiator only).
CAUTION:
Do not to allow the coolant to contact the drive belts.
4. When draining all of the coolant in the system for engine removal or repair, it is necessary to drain the cylinder block.
Remove the RH cylinder block drain plug to drain the right bank
and the oil cooler hose to drain the left bank as shown.
5. Remove the reservoir tank to drain the engine coolant, then clean the reservoir tank before installing it.
6. Check the drained coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If the coolant is contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-15, "
FLUSHING COOLING
SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Close the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank, cylinder block drain plug, and the oil cooler hose, ifremoved for a total system drain or for engine removal or repair.

The radiator must be completely empty of coolant and water.

Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance Thread
Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
2. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heater ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.
3. Remove the vented reservoir cap and replace it with a non-vented reservoir cap before filling the cooling system.
