XENON HEADLAMP
A Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is pa ssed 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 headl amps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distributi on at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi-
tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
LOW BEAM OPERATION
When the lighting switch is 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
controls the headlamp low relay coil which supplies power to the low beam headlamps.

HEADLAMP (XENON)
HEADLAMP (XENON) : DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463583
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution modul e engine room) controls the headlamp low relay based on
inputs from the BCM over the CAN communication li nes. When the headlamp low relay is energized, power
flows through fuses 36 and 37, located in the IPDM E/R. Power then flows to the front combination lamps to
the headlamp low beam.

1.CHECK HEADLAMP (LO) OPERATION
WITHOUT CONSULT
1. Start IPDM E/R auto active test. Refer to PCS-8, "Diagnosis Description"
.
2. Check that the headlamp is turned ON. NOTE:
HI/LO is repeated 1 second each when usi ng the IPDM E/R auto active test.
CONSULT
1. Select EXTERNAL LAMP of IP DM E/R active test item.
2. While operating the test items, c heck that the headlamp is turned ON.

OPERATION
Refer to EXL-9, "HEADLAMP SYSTEM : System Description".
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• Installation or removal of the connecto r must be done with the lighting switch OFF.
• When the lamp is illuminated (when the lighting switch is ON), do not touch the harness, HID control unit,
inside of the lamp, or the lamp metal parts.
• To check illumination, temporarily install lamp in the vehicle. Be sure to connect power at the vehicle-side
connector.
• If the malfunction can be traced directly to the electrical system, first check for items such as blown fuses
and fusible links, broken wires or loose connectors , pulled-out terminals, and improper connections.
• Do not work with wet hands.
• Using a tester for HID control unit circuit trouble diagnosis is prohibited.
• Disassembling the HID control unit or harnesses (bul b socket harness, ballast harness) is prohibited.
• Immediately after illumination, the light int ensity and color will fluctuate, this is normal.
• When the bulb has reached the end of its lifetime, the br ightness may drop significantly, it may flash repeat-
edly, or the light may turn a reddish color.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000009463587
1.CHECK XENON BULB
Install a known good bulb to the applicable headlamp. Check that the headlamp operates.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace the xenon bulb.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK HID CONTROL UNIT
Install a known good HID control unit to the appl icable headlamp. Check that the headlamp operates.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace HID control unit.
NO >> Inspection End.

TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463597
The BCM monitors inputs from the combination switch to determine when to activate the turn signals. The
BCM outputs voltage direction to the left and right turn signals during turn signal operation or both during haz-
ard warning operation. The BCM sends a turn signal indicator request to the combination meter via the CAN
communication lines.
The BCM performs the fast flasher operation (fail-safe) if any bulb or harness of the turn signal lamp circuit is
open.
NOTE:
Turn signal lamp blinks at normal speed when using the hazard warning lamp.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000009463598
1.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP
CONSULT
1. Select FLASHER of BCM (FLASHER) active test item.
2. With operating the test items, check that the turn signal lamp blinks.
Does the turn signal lamp blink?

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to EXL-60, "Wiring Diagram".
1.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP BULB
Check the applicable lamp bulb to be sure the proper bulb standard is in use and the bulb is not open.
Is the bulb OK?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace the bulb.
2.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP OUTPUT VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the front or rear combination lamp har ness connector or the door mirror harness connector (if
equipped with turn signal in mirror) in question.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
4. Operate the turn signal switch.
