General Information for Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS003PR
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:NKS003PS

Installation or removal of connector must be done with lighting switch OFF.

When lamp is illuminated (when lighting switch is ON), do not touch harness, HID control unit, inside of
lamp, or lamp metal parts.

To check illumination, temporarily install lamp in the vehicle. Be sure to connect power at the vehicle-side
connector.

If the error can be traced directly to the electrical system, first check for items such as burned-out fuses
and fusible links, broken wires or loose connectors, pulled-out terminals, and improper connections.

Do not work with wet hands.

Using a tester for HID control unit circuit trouble diagnosis is prohibited.

Disassembling the HID control unit or harnesses (bulb socket harness, ECM harness) is prohibited.

Immediately after illumination, the light intensity and color will fluctuate, but there is nothing wrong.

When the bulb has reached the end of its lifetime, the brightness may drop significantly, it may flash
repeatedly, or the light may turn a reddish color.

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 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated), and
the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the headlamps 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 minutes timer and a 45 seconds timer

When opening any door (door switch is ON), the 5 minutes 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 45 seconds later. If any door is opened (door switch ON) while the 45 seconds timer is in
operation, the 5 minutes 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.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNKS003Q0
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 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 the high rate of information transmission with less wir-
ing. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitNKS003Q1
Refer to LAN-50, "CAN System Specification Chart" .
Major Components and FunctionsNKS003Q2

Height sensor signal from height sensor connected to AFS control unit

Swivel position sensor signal from swivel position sensor built into both right and left swivel actuators con-
nected to AFS control unit
In response to the state of control, AFS control unit switches commands of AFS off indicator signal sent to uni-
fied meter and A/C amp. via CAN communication; and then turns on/off or blinks AFS off indicator lamp built in
the combination meter.
AFS (ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM)
AFS increases viewability of cornering direction by changing light axis automatically to the direction of travel
with low beam headlamps during vehicle's cornering.
AFS switch allows AFS function to be stopped.
AFS control unit determines the current vehicle conditions by each received signals, and sends commands to
the low beam headlamp to swivel. With the headlamps (HIGH/LOW) illuminated, the AFS switch on, engine
running and the A/T select lever in any position but range P or range R, the low beam headlamps are opera-
tive by AFS control unit commands.
As the steering wheel is turned to the left (right), the left (right) low beam headlamp will automatically swivel
angle in accordance with the steering angle and vehicle speed, and stop the operation when the steering
wheel is returned to the straight-ahead position.
Swivel operation allows drive signal to be sent to the swivel actuator on the side that AFS control unit is actu-
ated. Step motor built in swivel actuator adjusts low beam projector of headlamp to swivel angle that matches
drive signal. Swivel position sensor built in swivel actuator detects swivel angle and transmits a swivel position
sensor signal to the AFS control unit. AFS control unit monitors if swivel operation is performed normally via
swivel position sensor signal.

Swivel operation
*1: Included high beam illuminated.
*2: The swivel operates when running at approx. 25 km/h (15.5 MPH). When swivel operation is started, it works on until vehicle
stops.
*3: The low beam headlamps perform small movements when AFS control unit detects start of the engine. This is normal with ini-
tialization of swivel actuator by AFS control unit.Low beam

HEADLAMP AUTO AIMING
Headlamp auto aiming control automatically corrects vertical deviation of light axis that is brought by the
change of vehicle height with changing number of passenger and laden weight, and relieves dazzle to oncom-
ing vehicles.
AFS control unit determines the current vehicle conditions by each received signals, and sends commands to
the low beam headlamps to auto aiming. With the headlamps (HIGH/LOW) illuminated and engine running,
the low beam headlamps are operative by AFS control unit commands.
The height sensor is located on the left side of the rear suspension member and detects rear vehicle height
change by sensing the displacement of the rear suspension arm. And transmits a height sensor signal to the
AFS control unit.
With reference to the rear vehicle height under the empty condition, light axis of low beam with low rear vehi-
cle height is relatively higher than that with the empty condition. AFS control unit switches drive signal corrects
height of low beam axis to maintain height of light axis with empty condition.
Light axis of low beam with high rear vehicle height is relatively lower than that with empty condition. Light axis
of low beam with empty condition is set as upper limit of headlamp auto aiming control operation. Control to
correct deviation is not performed when light axis of low beam gets relatively higher than that with empty con-
dition. Timing of control is switched in accordance with driving conditions.

Headlamp auto aiming operation
*1: Included high beam illuminated
*2: Control timing of drive signal is switched by vehicle speed and accelerating/decelerating vehicle.
*3: Control is performed without regard to the condition of AFS switch. Headlamp auto aiming control function cannot be cancelled.
