PARKING LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776187
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) controls the tail lamp relay based on inputs
from the BCM via the CAN communication lines. When the tail lamp relay is energized, power flows through
fuse 37, located in the IPDM E/R. Power then flows to the front and rear combination lamps.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000003776188
1.CHECK PARKING LAMP OPERATION
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Activate IPDM E/R auto active test. Refer to PCS-12, "
Diagnosis Description".
2. Check that the parking lamp is turned ON.
CONSULT-III
1. Select "EXTERNAL LAMP" of IPDM E/R active test item.
2. With operating the test items, check that the parking lamp is turned ON.
Is the parking lamp turned ON?
YES >> Parking lamp circuit is normal.
NO >> Refer to EXL-40, "
Diagnosis Procedure - Without Daytime Light System", EXL-42, "Diagnosis
Procedure - With Daytime Light System".

1.CHECK PARKING LAMP FUSES
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Check that the following fuses are not open.
Is the fuse open?
YES >> Repair the harness and replace the fuse.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK TAIL LAMP RELAY OUTPUT (VOLTAGE)
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the front combination lamp connector, rear combination lamp connector and license plate
lamp connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
4. Turn the parking lamps ON.
5. With the parking lamps ON, check voltage between the front combination lamp connectors and ground.TAIL : Parking lamp ON

OPTICAL SENSOR
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776193
The optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to
the BCM.

1.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR SIGNAL BY CONSULT-III
CONSULT-III
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Select "OPTICAL SENSOR" of BC M (HEAD LAMP) DATA MONITOR item.
3. Turn the lighting switch to AUTO.
4. With the optical sensor illuminat ing, check the monitor status.
*: Illuminates the optical sensor. The value may be less than the standard value if brightness is weak.
Is the item status normal?
YES >> Optical sensor is normal.
NO >> Refer to EXL-49, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776195
1.CHECK OPTICAL SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect BCM connector M18 and optical sensor connector M302.
3. Check continuity between BCM harness connector M18 (A) ter-
minal 18 and optical sensor harness connector M302 (B) termi-
nal 3.
4. Check continuity between BCM harness connector M18 (A) ter- minal 18 and ground.

HEADLAMP AIMING SWITCH
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776196
The manual headlamp aiming system uses a headlamp aiming switch to adjust the axis of the headlamp aim-
ing motor. The headlamp aimer switch has four sett ings, each with a different resistance value. The head-
lamp aiming motor adjusts to the proper axis based off the position of the headlamp aiming switch.
Diagnosis Procedure - Without Daytime Light SystemINFOID:0000000003776197
1.CHECK HEADLAMP AIMING SWITCH SIGNAL FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect headlamp aiming switch connector M148, headlamp aiming motor LH connector E11 and headlamp aiming motor RH connector E107.
3. Check continuity between the headlamp aiming switch connec-
tor M148 terminal 1 and headlamp aiming motor LH E11 and RH
E107 terminal 7.
4. Check continuity between the headlamp aiming switch connec- tor M148 terminal 1 and ground.
Are the continuity test results as specified?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair the harness or connector.
2.CHECK HEADLAMP AIMING SWITCH
1. Check resistance between the headlamp aiming switch termi- nals 1 and 2 in each switch position.
Are the resistance check results as specified?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Replace the headlamp aiming switch.
3.CHECK HEADLAMP AIMING SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect headlamp aiming switch connector M148.
3. Check continuity between headlamp aiming switch connector M148 terminal 2 and ground.
