FRONT FOG LAMP
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005369879
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005369880
The front fog lamps are activated with the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch). The combina-
tion switch (lighting and turn signal switch) signal to the BCM is monitored with the BCM combination switch
reading function. When the fog lamps are turned ON wit h the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch), the BCM sends a front fog lamp request signal via CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The
IPDM E/R grounds the front fog lamp relay coil to activate the front fog lamps.

FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in front fog lamp ON position and also in 1ST
or 2ND position or AUTO position (headlamp is ON), the BCM detects FR FOG ON and the HEAD LAMP1, 2
ON or the AUTO LIGHT ON. The BCM sends a front fog lamp request ON signal via the CAN communication
lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R then turns ON t he front fog lamp relay sending power to the front fog
lamps.

TURN SIGNAL OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in LH or RH position with the ignition switch in
ON position, the BCM detects the TURN RH or TURN LH ON request. The BCM outputs the flasher signal to
the respective turn signal lamp. The BCM also sends a turn indicator signal ON request via the CAN commu-
nication lines to the combination meter. The combination meter then activates the appropriate turn signal indi-
cator and audible buzzer.
HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
When the hazard switch is in ON position, the BCM detects the hazard switch signal ON. The BCM outputs the
flasher signal (right and left). The BCM sends a hazar d indicator signal ON request via the CAN communica-
tion lines to the combination meter. The combinati on meter then activates the hazard indicator and audible
buzzer.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY OPERATION
The remote keyless entry receiver transmits a hazard request signal to the BCM, then BCM controls hazard
lamps.
Refer to SEC-10, "
System Description".

PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal s witch) is in 1ST position, BCM detects the LIGHTING
SWITCH 1ST POSITION ON. The BCM sends a parking light ON request via the CAN communication lines to
the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R then ac tivates the tail lamp relay which sends power to the parking and instru-
ment illumination circuits.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position and the ignition switch is
turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated fo r 5 minutes unless the combination switch (lighting
and turn signal switch) position is changed. If the combi nation switch (lighting and turn signal switch) position
is changed, then the headlamps are turned off.
This setting can be changed by CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-26, "
BATTERY SAVER : CONSULT-III Function
(BCM - BATTERY SAVER)".

HEADLAMP (HI) CIRCUIT
HEADLAMP (HI) CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005370270
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) controls the headlamp LH high and head-
lamp RH high relays based on inputs from the BCM via the CAN communication lines. When the headlamp LH
high and headlamp RH high relays are energized, power flows through fuse\
s 34 and 35, located in the IPDM
E/R. Power then flows to the front combination lamps to the headlamp high beam.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000005146640
1.CHECK HEADLAMP (HI) OPERATION
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Start IPDM E/R auto active test. Refer to PCS-12, "
Diagnosis Description".
2. Check that the headlamp switches to the high beam. NOTE:
HI/LO is repeated 1 second each when usi ng the IPDM E/R auto active test.
CONSULT-III
1. Select "EXTERNAL LAMPS" of IPDM E/R active test item.
2. With the test item operating, check that the headlamp switches to high beam.
Does the headlamp switch to high beam?
YES >> Headlamp (HI) circuit is normal.
NO >> Refer to EXL-30, "
Diagnosis Procedure - Without Daytime Light System", EXL-31, "Diagnosis
Procedure - With Daytime Light System".
Diagnosis Procedure - Wit hout Daytime Light SystemINFOID:0000000005146641
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to EXL-52, "Wiring Diagram".
1.CHECK HEADLAMP (HI) FUSES
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Check that the following fuses are not open.
Is the fuse open?
YES >> Repair the harness and replace the fuse.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK HEADLAMP (HI) OUTPUT VOLTAGE Hi : Headlamp switches to the high beam.
Off : Headlamp OFF
