FRONT FOG LAMPPFP:26150
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS007B4
System DescriptionEKS007B5
Control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The light-
ing switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front fog lamp operation.
When the lighting switch is placed in the fog lamp position, the BCM (body control module) receives input sig-
nal requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communi-
cated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication
lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil. When acti-
vated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

to front fog lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU of the IPDM E/R, and

through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to BCM terminal 70.
When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

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

to BCM terminal 38.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
FOG LAMP OPERATION
The fog lamp switch is built into the combination switch. The lighting switch must be in the 2ND position or
AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) and the fog lamp switch must be ON for fog lamp operation.
With the fog lamp switch in the ON position, the CPU of the IPDM E/R grounds the coil side of the fog lamp
relay. The fog lamp relay then directs power

through 20A fuse (No. 56, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 50

to front turn/fog lamp LH terminal 1, and

through IPDM E/R terminal 51

to front turn/fog lamp RH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to front turn/fog lamp LH and RH terminal 3

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the front fog lamps illuminate.
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 (ON), the fog lamp switch is ON, and the
ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the fog lamps (and headlamps) remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the fog lamps (and
headlamps) are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

Aiming AdjustmentEKS007BF
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.

See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the
driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjustment
screw.
NOTE:
Access adjustment screw from underneath front bumper. Turn screw
clockwise to raise pattern and counterclockwise to lower pattern.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the fog
lamp lens as shown.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge
of the high intensity zone is 200 mm (7.9 in) below the height of
the fog lamp centers as shown.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps
and opposite fog lamp.

Bulb Replacement EKS007BG
1. Remove the front turn/fog lamp assembly. Refer to LT-79, "Removal and Installation" .
2. Turn the bulb cover counterclockwise to remove it.
3. Unlatch retaining spring.
4. Remove bulb and disconnect the connector.
CAUTION:

Do not touch the glass of bulb directly by hand. Keep
grease and other oily substances away from it. Do not
touch bulb by hand while it is lit or right after being
turned off. Burning may result.

Do not leave bulb out of fog lamp reflector for a long time
because dust, moisture smoke, etc. may affect the perfor-
mance of fog lamp. When replacing bulb, be sure to
replace it with new one.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Removal and InstallationEKS007BH
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb.
CAUTION:

Do not leave fog lamp assembly without bulb for a long period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke, etc.
entering the fog lamp body may affect the performance. Remove the bulb from the headlamp
assembly just before replacement bulb is installed.

Grasp only the plastic base when handling the bulb. Never touch the glass envelope. Touching the
glass could significantly affect the bulb life and/or fog lamp performance.
1. Remove the front turn/fog lamp finisher.
2. Remove bolt and pull fog lamp out of front fascia.
3. Disconnect electrical connector.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
TRAILER TAIL LAMP OPERATION
The trailer tail lamps are controlled by the trailer tow relay 1.
With the lighting switch in the parking and tail lamp ON (1ST) position, AUTO position (and the auto light sys-
tem is activated) or headlamp ON (2ND) position, power is supplied

through the tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R

through 10A fuse (No. 36, located in the IPDM E/R)

TRAILER BRAKE, TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
The trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamps are all controlled by the BCM. When the brake pedal is
depressed, the BCM receives stop lamp switch signal through CAN communication. If the brake pedal is
depressed or either turn signal or the hazard lamps are turned on, the BCM supplies voltage to the trailer
lamps to make them flash or turn on.

The trailer brake is controlled by the electric brake. The electric brake receives stop lamp switch signal at elec-
tric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 2 when the brake pedal is depressed.
When the brake pedal is depressed, power is supplied by the electric brake

through electric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 3

to trailer connector terminal 3.
TRAILER POWER SUPPLY OPERATION
The trailer power supply is controlled by the trailer tow relay 2.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse (No. 51, located in the IPDM E/R)

to IPDM E/R terminal 16

to trailer tow relay 2 terminal 1.
When energized, the trailer tow relay 2 supplies power

through trailer tow relay 2 terminals 5 and 7

to trailer connector terminal 5.
