HEADLAMP SWITCH
Service procedures for the headlamp switch can be
found in Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges. More
information can be found in Wiring Diagrams manual.
HEADLAMP DIMMER SWITCH
The headlamp dimmer switch is incorporated into
the turn signal switch. Proper procedures can be found
in Group 8J, Turn Signal and Flashers. More informa-
tion can be found in Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Headlamps can be aligned using the screen method
provided in this section. Alignment Tool C4466-A or
equivalent can also be used. Refer to instructions
provided with the tool for proper procedures. The
preferred headlamp alignment setting is 0 for the
left/right adjustment and 0 for the up/down ad-
justment.
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation. (2) Inspect and correct damaged or defective compo-
nents that could interfere with proper headlamp align-
ment. (3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is not heavily loaded.
(6) Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5 lbs.)
of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of
missing fuel.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT USING ALIGNMENT
SCREEN
ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION (FIG. 1 AND 2)
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular
to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft) away from front of
headlamp lens. (2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62 meters
(25 ft) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) From the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft), tape a line on
the wall at the centerline of the vehicle. Sight along the
centerline of the vehicle (from rear of vehicle forward) to
verify accuracy of the line placement.
(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow
suspension to stabilize. (5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing. (6) Measure the distance from the center of head-
lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/down
adjustment reference. (7) Measure distance from the centerline of the ve-
hicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/right
adjustment reference.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 3, 4, 5, 6 OR 7)
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the
top edge of low beam hot spot on the alignment screen
from 50 mm (2 in.) above to 50 mm (2 in.) below the
headlamp centerline. The side-to-side left edge of low
beam hot spot should be from 50 mm (2 in.) left to
50mm (2 in.) right of headlamp centerline (Fig. 1). The
preferred headlamp alignment is 0 for the
up/down adjustment and 0 for the left/right ad-
justment. The high beams on a vehicle with aero
headlamps cannot be aligned. The high beam pattern
should be correct when the low beams are aligned
properly. To adjust headlamp alignment, rotate alignment
screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot
pattern.
CAUTION: Do not cover an illuminated headlamp for
more then 15 seconds. Lamp will overheat and burn
or melt cover.
To adjust headlamps, rotate alignment screws to
achieve the specified high intensity pattern (Fig. 1 or
2).
FOG LAMP ALIGNMENT (FIG. 8)
Prepare an alignment screen. Refer to Alignment
Screen Preparation paragraph in this section. A prop-
erly aligned fog lamp will project a pattern on the
alignment screen 100 mm (4 in.) below the fog lamp
centerline and straight ahead.

HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
SYSTEM OPERATION
The Body Controller controls the Headlamp Time
Delay system, if equipped. OPERATION:
By turning off the ignition switch first then off the
headlamp switch, the Body Controller will allow the
headlamps to remain ON for 60 seconds before they
automatically turn off and the headlamp doors close.
DIAGNOSIS
Refer to the Pre-diagnostic Test section of the ap-
propriate Body Diagnostic Procedures service man-
ual.

GENERAL INFORMATION
For proper operation of the Concealed Headlamp
System, refer to the Owner's Manual provided with
the vehicle.
The Concealed Headlamps are controlled by the Body
Controller (Fig. 1). Refer to Group 8E, Instrument
Panel for service procedures. The Body Controller re-
ceives input information from the ignition switch, head-
lamp switch, and the headlamp dimmer switch. The Body Controller also controls the headlamp doors
when the Passing Lights (manually flashing bright
lights) are used. With the headlamp switch turned off,
actuating the headlamp dimmer switch will signal the
Body Controller to open the headlamp doors. The oper-
ator then has two seconds to flash the bright lights be-
fore the Body Controller closes the headlamp doors.
Holding the headlamp dimmer switch in the engaged
position will signal the Body Controller to keep the
headlamp doors open until the dimmer switch is re-
leased. Actuating the headlamp dimmer switch with the
parking lamps ON signals the Body Controller to open
the headlamp doors and keep them open until the head-
lamp switch is turned off.
AY and AC vehicles use a single motor, centrally
located behind the radiator grille, and linked to the
headlamp doors by a torsion bar. Refer to Service
Procedures for more information. The headlamp door drive motors are equipped with
a manual override hand wheel to open or close the
headlamp doors if a failure should occur or servicing
is required. Access to the handwheel can be gained
through a flap covered hole in the sight shield be-
hind the bumper fascia, and under the hood. Several
revolutions of the handwheel may be required to
move the headlamp doors.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Before diagnosing a problem with the headlamp
doors, check for possible collision damage, binding,
improperly installed assemblies, or freezing weather
conditions. When diagnosing an electrical problem, refer to:
² The Concealed Headlamps Electrical Diagnosis
chart in this section.
² The Wiring Diagrams Manual.
² The Headlamp Doors System section of the appro-
priate Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
PROBLEM
One headlamp door is inoperative when the head-
lamp switch is ON and the ignition switch is in the
RUN position. The other headlamp door operates
normally.
AC OR AY-VEHICLE BODY CHECK:
² Headlamp door pivot and crank for seizure.
² Headlamp torsion bar sleeve or clip for excessive
wear or breakage.
² Headlamp door crank for missing or broken screw.
² Headlamp torsion bar for disengagement or break-
age.
PROBLEM
Headlamp door operates erratically.
CHECK:
² For freezing weather conditions.
² For excessive effort to move headlamp door pivots.
² For corrosion or improperly aligned components.
² For stripped motor reduction gears.
² For defective body controller. Refer to the Con-
cealed Headlamp Electrical Diagnosis chart in this
section. Also refer to the Wiring Diagrams Manual
and Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AA-BODY
The Illuminated Entry System (on AA Body) actu-
ates the interior courtesy and/or dome lamps (except
for the illuminated ignition switch) by lifting either
front door exterior handle. Lamp illumination is terminated 35 seconds ( 68
seconds later when battery voltage is normal), or by
turning the ignition switch to the run position,
whichever occurs first. When testing the system, all
vehicle doors must be closed to prevent the door jam
switches from activating the courtesy/dome lamps. Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Illumi-
nated Entry Module (located behind and above the
glove box (Fig. 2) are used to control the system.
Depending on vehicle options, as many as six dif-
ferent electrical components/relays are located above
the glove box. The Illuminated Entry Module will be
the one mounted the closest to the outside of the in-
strument panel. The Module bracket is also used to
commonly mount the Power Door Lock Inhibitor Re-
lay, if equipped. Service procedures for door related components can
be found in Group 23, Body.
AC, AG, AJ OR AY BODY
The Illuminated Entry System (AC, AG, AJ or AY
Body) actuates the interior courtesy and/or dome lamps (except illuminated ignition switch) by lifting
either front door exterior handle. Activation can also
be accomplished with the remote keyless entry sys-
tems hand held module, if equipped. Lamp illumination is terminated 30 seconds ( 62
seconds) later, or by turning the ignition switch to
the run position, whichever occurs first. When test-
ing this system, all vehicle doors must be closed to
prevent the operation of the courtesy/dome lamps. Front door handle switches (Fig. 1), and the Body
Controller (Fig . 3 ) are used to control the system.
Service procedures for door related components can
be found in Group 23, Body.
