With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)

to BCM terminal 38, and

to ignition relay in the IPDM E/R, and

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

With power and ground supplied, illumination lamps illuminate.
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.

6. Remove wiper washer switch connector, then pinch the tabs at
wiper and washer switch base and slide switch away from steer-
ing column to remove.
7. While pressing tabs, pull lighting and turn signal switch toward
driver door and disconnect from base.
8. Remove the screws, release the clip, and remove the spiral
cable.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble spiral cable.

Do not apply lubricant to the spiral cable.
9. Remove the spiral cable connectors.
CAUTION:
With the steering linkage disconnected, the spiral cable may snap by turning the steering wheel
beyond the limited number of turns. The spiral cable can be turned counterclockwise about 2.5
turns from the neutral position.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel. Make
sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position. The neutral
position is detected by turning left 2.6 revolutions from the right
end position and ending with the knob at the top.

If equipped with VDC, refer to BRC-62, "Adjustment of Steering
Angle Sensor Neutral Position" for steering angle sensor
adjustment.

After the work is completed, perform self-diagnosis to make sure
no malfunction is detected. Refer to SRS-20, "
SRS Operation
Check" .
