FRONT FOG LAMP UNIT
REMOVAL
(1) Turn the front wheels full lock in the direction
of the fog lamp bulb that is to be changed.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(3) Reach into the front wheel opening to unsnap
and lift the cover over the access hole at the front of
the front wheelhouse splash shield (Fig. 14).
(4) Reach through the access hole to remove the
three screws that secure the front fog lamp unit to
the front bumper fascia.
(5) From the front of the vehicle, pull the front fog
lamp unit out of the front bumper fascia far enough
to access and disconnect the wire harness connector
for the front fog lamp unit from the lamp socket con-
nector receptacle (Fig. 15).
(6) Remove the front fog lamp unit from the front
bumper fascia.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the front fog lamp unit to the front
bumper fascia.
(2) Reconnect the wire harness connector for the
front fog lamp to the lamp socket connector recepta-
cle (Fig. 15).
(3) Position the front fog lamp unit into the front
bumper fascia.
(4) Reach into the front wheel opening and
through the access hole to install and tighten the
three screws that secure the front fog lamp unithousing to the front bumper fascia (Fig. 14). Tighten
the screws to 3 N´m (25 in. lbs.).
(5) Lower and snap shut the cover over the access
hole at the front of the front wheelhouse splash
shield.
(6) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
(7) Confirm proper front fog lamp unit alignment.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR/FRONT FOG LAMP UNIT - ADJUST-
MENTS).
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT - FRONT FOG LAMP UNIT
VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR FOG LAMP ALIGNMENT
(1) Repair or replace any faulty or damaged com-
ponents that could hinder proper lamp alignment.
(2) Verify proper tire inflation.
(3) Clean the front fog lamp lenses.
(4) Verify that the cargo area is not heavily loaded.
(5) The fuel tank should be Full. Add 2.94 kilo-
grams (6.5 pounds) of weight over the fuel tank for
each estimated gallon of missing fuel.
FOG LAMP ALIGNMENT
Prepare an alignment screen as illustrated. A prop-
erly aligned front fog lamp will project a pattern on
the alignment screen 100 millimeters (4 inches)
below the fog lamp centerline and straight ahead of
the lamp.

(1) Position the vehicle on a level surface perpen-
dicular to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 feet) away from
the front of the front fog lamp lens (Fig. 16). If nec-
essary, tape a line on the floor 7.62 meters (25 feet)
away from and parallel to the wall.
(2) Measure up on the wall 1.27 meters (5 feet)
from the floor and tape a vertical line on the align-
ment screen at the centerline of the vehicle. Sight
along the centerline of the vehicle (from the rear of
the vehicle forward) to verify the accuracy of the cen-
terline placement.
(3) Rock the vehicle from side-to-side three times
to allow the suspension to stabilize, then jounce the
front suspension three times by pushing downward
on the front bumper and releasing. Measure the dis-
tance from the center of the front fog lamp lens to
the floor. Transfer this measurement to the align-
ment screen and tape a horizontal line on the wall at
this mark. This line will be used for up-and-down
adjustment reference.
(4) Measure the distance from the centerline of the
vehicle to the center of each front fog lamp beingaligned. Transfer these measurements to the align-
ment screen and tape a vertical line this distance to
each side of the vehicle centerline. These lines will be
used for left/right reference.
(5) Rotate the front fog lamp adjusting screws to
adjust the beam height as required (Fig. 17).
FRONT LAMP BULB
REMOVAL
The front lamp unit may contain either one or two
bulbs, depending upon the market for which the
vehicle was manufactured. The service procedures for
one bulb or for both bulbs is the same, only the bulb
sizes and types may differ. Be certain any removed
bulb is replaced with the same bulb size and type
that was removed.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the front lamp unit from the front
bumper fascia. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/

²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the headlamp high
beam filaments through the high beam relay output
circuit and provides battery current to the headlamp
high beams whenever the relay is energized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is not connected in this appli-
cation.
The headlamp high beam relay can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEADLAMP HIGH

The headlamp high beam relay (Fig. 29) is located
in the Junction Block (JB) on the driver side out-
board end of the instrument panel. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.

HEADLAMP LEVELING MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp leveling motor is located on the rear
inboard side of each headlamp unit on models
equipped with the headlamp leveling system, which
is available only in certain markets where required
(Fig. 31). The motor is encased within a molded plas-
tic housing and is secured by an integral wedge-type
mounting boss on its forward surface to a flanged
receptacle on the back of the headlamp unit housing.
A rubber seal around the circumference of the
mounting boss is compressed and seals the motor to
the headlamp unit when the boss is properly
installed in the flanged receptacle. The outside of the
motor housing features an integral molded connector
receptacle on its rearward surface, a hex-headed
adjusting screw extends from the top of the housing,
and a plastic pushrod with a ball formation on its
free end extends from the center of the mounting
boss at the front. Within the motor housing is a
12-volt Direct Current (DC) servo motor, an elec-
tronic controller board that includes the motor logic
circuits, and an integral screw-drive transmission.
The headlamp leveling motor is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the front fascia wire harness.
The headlamp leveling motor cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must be replaced.

HEADLAMP LEVELING
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp leveling switch (Fig. 34) is used only
on vehicles manufactured for certain markets where
the headlamp leveling system is required. The head-
lamp leveling switch is mounted in the driver side
inboard trim bezel on the instrument panel, where it
is secured by molded latch features that are integral
to the switch housing. Only the switch bezel and
thumbwheel are visible on the outer surface of the
instrument panel trim bezel. The black plastic switch
thumbwheel is marked with white numbers ª0,º ª1,º
ª2,º and ª3,º each of which indicates one of the four
switch detent positions. Each higher number repre-sents a lower aiming position of the headlamp beam
relative to the road surface. The black, molded plas-
tic switch housing has an integral connector recepta-
cle on the back, a single latch feature on the top, and
two latch features (one on each side) on the bottom.
The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a dedicated take out and connector of
the instrument panel wire harness. Within the
switch housing is the leveling switch circuitry includ-
ing the switch contacts and a series resistor configu-
ration.
The headlamp leveling switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The headlamp leveling switch receives battery cur-
rent on a fused park lamp relay output circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the park
lamp relay is energized (park lamps are turned On).
The switch receives a path to ground through a splice
block located in the instrument panel wire harness
with an eyelet terminal connector that is secured by
a nut to a ground stud on the driver side instrument
panel end bracket near the JB. The only output from
the switch is a voltage signal that it provides to the
headlamp leveling motors on a headlamp adjust sig-
nal circuit. Each switch position selects a different
tap on a series resistor within the switch to provide a
different voltage signal to the leveling motors. The
higher the switch position number, the higher the
output voltage level.
The headlamp leveling switch can be tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
