System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005867512
Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon t he position of the combination switch (lighting
and turn signal switch). When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is placed in the 2nd posi-
tion, the BCM (body control module) receives input requesting the headlamps and park lamps to illuminate.
This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp LH high,
headlamp RH high and headlamp low relay coils. When energiz ed, these relays direct power to the respective
headlamps, which then illuminate.

HEADLAMP
A Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is pa ssed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of Xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color. Following are some of the advantages
of the Xenon type headlamp.
• The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi- tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2ND position and placed in HIGH position,
the BCM receives input requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be
used any time and also sends a signal to the BCM. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU of the combination meter c ontrols the ON/OFF status off the HIGH BEAM indi-
cator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp LH high and RH high relay coils which supplies power
to the high beam headlamps.
The combination meter receives a high beam request signal (ON) via the CAN communication lines and turns
the high beam indicator lamp ON.

AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005867516
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776153
• BCM (Body Control Module) controls auto light operati on according to signals from optical sensor, lighting
switch and ignition switch.
• IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) operates parking, license plate, tail and
headlamps according to CAN communication signals from BCM.
• Optical sensor detects ambient br ightness and converts light (lux) to voltage, then sends the optical sensor
signal to BCM.
OUTLINE
The auto light control system has an optical sensor that detects outside brightness.
When the lighting switch is in AUTO position, it automat ically turns ON/OFF the parking, license plate, tail and
headlamps in accordance with the ambient light. Sensitivity can be adjusted in four steps. For the details of the
setting, Refer to EXL-22, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III F unction (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".

FRONT FOG LAMP
System DiagramINFOID:0000000003776159
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776160
The front fog lamps are activated with the lighting switch (combination switch). The lighting switch signal to
the BCM is monitored with the BCM combination swit ch reading function. When the fog lamps are turned ON
with the lighting switch, the BCM sends a front fog la mp request signal via CAN communication lines to the
IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R grounds the front fog la mp relay coil to activate the front fog lamps.

FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
When the lighting switch is in front fog lamp ON posit ion and also in 1ST or 2ND position or AUTO position
(headlamp is ON), the BCM detects FR FOG ON and the HEAD LAMP1, 2 ON or the AUTO LIGHT ON. The
BCM sends a front fog lamp request ON signal via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM
E/R then turns ON the front fog lamp relay sending power to the front fog lamps.

TURN SIGNAL OPERATION
When the turn signal switch is in LH or RH position with the ignition switch in ON position, the BCM detects the
TURN RH or TURN LH ON request. The BCM outputs the fl asher signal to the respective turn signal lamp.
The BCM also sends a turn indicator signal ON reques t via the CAN communication lines to the combination
meter. The combination meter then activates the appropriate turn signal indicator and audible buzzer.
HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
When the hazard switch is in ON position, the BCM detects the hazard switch signal ON. The BCM outputs the
flasher signal (right and left). The BCM sends a hazar d indicator signal ON request via the CAN communica-
tion lines to the combination meter. The combinati on meter then activates the hazard indicator and audible
buzzer.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY OPERATION
The remote keyless entry receiver transmits a hazard request signal to the BCM, then BCM controls hazard
lamps.

TRAILER TAIL LAMP OPERATION
The trailer tail lamps are controlled by the trailer tow re lay 1 located behind the left side of the instrument panel
(IP). With the combination switch in the 1st position, the BCM detects the LI GHTING SWITCH 1ST POSITION
ON. The BCM sends a parking light ON request via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM
E/R then activates the tail lamp relay which activates t he trailer tow relay 1 and sends power to the trailer con-
nector.
TRAILER TURN SIGNAL LAMP OPERATION
The trailer turn signal lamps are controlled by the BCM. When the turn signal switch is in the LH or RH position
with the ignition switch ON, the combination switch sends a signal to the BCM. The BCM detects the TURN
RH or TURN LH ON request. The BCM sends a control signal to the respective trailer turn relay which sends
power to the trailer connector.
TRAILER HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
The trailer hazard lamps are controlled by the BCM. When the hazard switch is pressed, the BCM detects the
the hazard ON request. The BCM then sends a control signal to both trailer turn relays which sends power to
the trailer connector.
TRAILER BRAKE LAMP OPERATION
The trailer brake lamps are controlled by the BCM. W hen the brake pedal is depressed, the combination meter
receives a stop lamp switch signal from the stop lamp switch. The combination meter then sends the brake
signal to the BCM via the CAN communication lines. The BCM then sends a control signal to both trailer turn
relays which sends power to the trailer connector.
