GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
GS vehicles use lighting on the interior and exte-
rior of the vehicle for illuminating and indicating
purposes. Lighting circuits are protected by fuses.
Lighting circuits require an overload protected power
source, on/off device, lamps and body ground to oper-
ate properly. Plastic lamps require a wire in the har-
ness to supply body ground to the lamp socket.
Replace sockets and bulbs that are corroded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the body controller. The headlamp,
dome, and the door ajar switches provide signals to
the body controller. The body controller in turn acti-
vates relay(s) in order to provide either a ground or
feed line to the appropriate lamp(s).
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male ter-
minals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symp-
toms.Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and power distribution
center. Verify that bulbs are in good condition and
test continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams, for component location and cir-
cuit information.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Run-
ning Lamp Module can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays hav-
ing greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.

HEADLAMP LEVELING MOTOR
This vehicle is equipped with a remote headlamp
leveling system. This system allows the driver to
adjust the vertical headlamp aim from the interior of
the vehicle to compensate for passenger or cargo
load. A headlamp leveling switch is located in the
instrument panel and controls the headlamp leveling
motor found on the back of the headlamp module.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
When a vehicle experiences problems with the head-
lamp system, verify the condition of the battery connec-
tions, charging system, headlamp bulbs, wire
connectors, relay, high beam dimmer switch and head-
lamp switch. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams, for
component locations and circuit information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

(5) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times and allow
suspension to stabilize.
(6) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(7) 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.
(8) Place a tape line 130 mm below and parallel to
the center of headlamp line.
(9) Measure distance from the centerline of the
vehicle 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
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project a
high intensity light pattern on the screen with the
horizontal cut-off line aligned with the tape line 130
mm (5.12 in.) below the headlamp centerline (Fig. 1).
The intersection of the horizontal and 15 degree cut-
off lines in the projected pattern should align to the
intersection of the headlamp centerline vertical tape
line and the tape line 130 mm (5.12 in.) below the
headlamp horizontal centerline. 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.
