HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

to BCM terminal 70.
With the ignition switch in the 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.
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input requesting the headlamps to illuminate. This
input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R con-
trols the headlamp low relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power

through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 54

to front combination lamp RH terminal 5, and

through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 52

to front combination lamp LH terminal 5.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 1

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and placed in HIGH or PASS position, the BCM receives input request-
ing the headlamp high beams to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN com-
munication lines. The CPU of the combination meter controls the ON/OFF status of the HIGH BEAM indicator.
The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power

through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 56

to front combination lamp RH terminal 6, and

through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 55

to front combination lamp LH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 2

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
XENON HEADLAMP
Xenon type headlamp is adopted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is passed 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 many 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 sen-
sitive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle, for added visibility.

Aiming AdjustmentEKS00B89
For details, refer to the regulations in your area.
NOTE:
If vehicle front body has been repaired and /or the headlamp assembly has been replaced, check headlamp
aiming.
HEADLAMP AIMING
NOTE:

Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following:
–Confirm headlamp aiming switch is set to "0" (zero) position.
–Ensure all tires are inflated to correct pressure.
–Place vehicle and screen on level surface.
–Ensure there is no load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position).
Coolant and engine oil filled to correct level, and fuel tank full.
–Confirm spare tire, jack and tools are properly stowed.
–Aim each headlamp individually and ensure other headlamp beam pattern is blocked from screen.
–Use adjusting screw to perform aiming adjustment

cation. If the brake pedal is depressed or either turn signal or the hazard lamps are turned on, the BCM sup-
plies voltage to the trailer turn relays (LH and RH) to make them cycle on and off.

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.
