System DescriptionNJEL0351The headlamp system on vehicles for cold spec. option contains a daytime light unit. The unit activates the
following whenever the engine is running with the lighting switch in the OFF position:
Low beam headlamps
Parking, license, tail and illumination lamps
Power is supplied at all times
through 10A fuse (No. 38, located in the fusible link and fuse box)
to daytime light unit terminal 1 and
to lighting switch terminal 11.
Power is also supplied at all times
through 15A fuse (No. 36, located in the fusible link and fuse box)
to daytime light unit terminal 3 and
to lighting switch terminal 5.
Power is also supplied at all times
through 15A fuse (No. 35, located in the fusible link and fuse box)
to daytime light unit terminal 2 and
to lighting switch terminal 8.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 20, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to daytime light unit terminal 7.
With the ignition switch in the START position, power is supplied
through 10A fuse [No. 21, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
to daytime light unit terminal 6.
Ground is supplied to daytime light unit terminal 9 through body grounds E30 and E73.
HEADLAMP OPERATION (DAYTIME LIGHT CANCEL OPERATION)NJEL0351S01When the lighting switch is turned to the 1st or 2nd position, power is supplied
through lighting switch terminal 12,
to daytime light unit terminal 11.
Then daytime light will be canceled. And the lighting system operation will be the same as no daytime light
system.
DAYTIME LIGHT OPERATIONNJEL0351S02With the engine running and the lighting switch in the OFF position, power is supplied
from alternator terminal 3
to daytime light unit terminal 8,
through daytime light unit terminal 5
to terminal 4 of headlamp LH,
through daytime light unit terminal 4
to terminal 2 of headlamp RH and
through daytime light unit terminal 10
to tail lamp and illumination.
Ground is supplied to terminal 5 of headlamp LH and terminal 1 of headlamp RHthrough body grounds E30
and E73.
