• Before installing a new heated o
xygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using suit-
able tool.
• Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dr opped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a co ncrete floor; replace with a new one.
• Do not over-tighten the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor, resulting in the MIL coming on.
• If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.
• Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and th e bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, an d then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
• Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mount ing rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could resu lt in excessive noise and vibration.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005369868
Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon t he position of the combination switch (lighting
and turn signal switch). When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is placed in the 2nd posi-
tion, the BCM (body control module) receives input requesting the headlamps and park lamps to illuminate.
This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp LH high,
headlamp RH high and headlamp low relay coils. When energiz ed, these relays direct power to the respective
headlamps, which then illuminate.

DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005369869
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146609
The headlamp system for Canada vehicles is equipped with a daytime light relay that activates the high beam
headlamps at approximately half illumination whenever the engine is operating. If the parking brake is applied
before the engine is started the daytime lights will not be illuminated. The daytime lights will illuminate once the
parking brake is released. Thereafter, the daytime lights will continue to operate when the parking brake is
applied.

DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM
Component Description
INFOID:0000000005369870
After starting the engine with the parking brake releas ed and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) in the OFF or 1ST position, the headlamp high beam automatically turns on at a reduced intensity.
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position or with autolamps ON, the
headlamps function the same as conventional light systems.
OPERATION
The BCM monitors inputs from the parking brake swit ch and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) to determine when to activate the daytime light system. The BCM sends a daytime light request to the
IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/ R grounds the daytime light relay which in turn, pro-
vides power to the ground side of the LH high beam lamp. Power flows backward through the LH high beam
lamp to the IPDM E/R, through the high beam fuses, through the RH high beam lamp circuit to the RH high
beam lamp and on to ground. The high beam lamps are wired in series which causes them to illuminate at a
reduced intensity.

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146613
• BCM (Body Control Module) controls auto light operati on according to signals from optical sensor, combina-
tion switch (lighting and turn signal switch) and ignition switch.
• IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) operates parking, license plate, tail and
headlamps according to CAN communication signals from BCM.
• Optical sensor detects ambient br ightness and converts light (lux) to voltage, then sends the optical sensor
signal to BCM.
OUTLINE
The auto light control system has an optical sensor that detects outside brightness.
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in AUTO position, it automatically turns ON/
OFF the parking, license plate, tail and headlamps in accordance with the ambient light. Sensitivity can be
adjusted in four steps. For the details of the setting, Refer to BCS-22, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function
(BCM - HEAD LAMP)".

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the follo wing systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure low/coolant pressure high warning indicator
• Oil pressure gauge
• Rear window defogger
• Front wipers
• Tail, license and parking lamps
• Front fog lamps
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
• Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper a rms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-
age due to wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actuated, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-71, "
Descrip-
tion".
• Do not start the engine.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.
