HEADLAMP - XENON TYPE -
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
General Information for Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisAKS00CHH
In most cases, malfunction of xenon headlamp - “does not illuminate”, “flickers” or “dark” - is caused by a mal-
functioning xenon bulb. A malfunctioning HID control unit or lamp housing, however, may be a cause. Be sure
to perform trouble diagnosis following the steps described below.
Caution:AKS00CHI

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 DiagnosisAKS00CHJ
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]
NG >> INSPECTION END

INSPECTION PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT
1. CHECK BRAKE INDICATOR
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. When a parking brake is made ON/OFF, it checks whether brake indicator lamp of combination meter lights up / puts out the light.
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK PARKING BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect parking brake switch connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check voltage between parking brake switch harness connector E207 terminal 1 (L) and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace parking brake switch.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect combination meter connector.
3. Check continuity between combination meter harness connector M20 terminal 23 (PU/W) and parking brake switch harness con-
nector E207 terminal 1 (L).
OK or NG
OK >> Replace combination meter.
NG >> Repair harness or connector. 1 (L) – Ground : Battery voltage.

AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
When ignition switch is turn to ON position, and
When outside brightness is darker than prescribed level, input is supplied

from BCM terminal 14

to optical sensor terminal 2
The headlamps will then illuminate. For a description of headlamp operation, Refer to LT- 5 5 , "
System Descrip-
tion" .
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-3, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the AUTO position, and the ignition switch is turned from
ON or ACC to OFF, and one of the front door is opened, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamp remain illuminated for 5 mimutes, then the headlamp are turned OFF.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
DELAY TIMER FUNCTION
Delay timer function carries out a function that BCM activates the timer and controls lights out of headlamps by
door switch signal and lightning switch signal when turning the Ignition switch OFF while it is ON and head-
lamps are ON by the auto light function.
Timer types are a 5-minute timer and a 45-second timer

When opening any door (door switch is ON), the 5-minute timer starts and then headlamps go out five
minutes later

When all the doors are closed (from door switch ON to OFF), the 45-second timer starts and then head-
lamps go out forty-five seconds later. If any door is opened (door switch ON) while the 45-second timer is
in operation, the 5-minute timer starts again

The timer stops when turning on the ignition switch or turning off the auto light switch under the above
conditions.
Delay timer control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II or display.
CAN Communication System DescriptionAKS007ET
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 UnitAKS0080U
Refer to LAN-30, "CAN Communication Unit" .
Major Components and FunctionsAKS007EV
Components Functions
BCM

Turns on/off circuits of tail light and headlamp according to signals from light sensor, lighting switch
(AUTO), driver door switch, passenger door switch, rear door switch, and ignition switch (ON, OFF).
Optical sensor

Converts outside brightness (lux) to voltage, and sends it to BCM. (Detects brightness of 50 to 1,300 lux)
