XENON HEADLAMP
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 passed 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 headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sen-
sitive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle, for added visibility.
Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
CAN Communication System DescriptionBKS001MW
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

General Information for Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisBKS001NC
In most cases, malfunction of xenon headlamp - “does not illuminate”, “flickers” or “dark” - is caused by an
abnormal xenon bulb. An abnormal HID control unit or lamp housing, however, may be a cause. Be sure to
perform trouble diagnosis following the steps described below.
Caution:BKS001ND
Installation or removal of the connector must be done with the lighting switch OFF.
When the lamp is illuminated (when the lighting switch is ON), never 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 error can be traced directly to the electrical system, first check for items such as burned-out fuses
and fusible links, broken wires or loose connectors, pulled-out terminals, and improper connections.
Never work with wet hands.
Using a tester for HID control unit circuit trouble diagnosis is prohibited.
Disassembling the HID control unit or harnesses (bulb socket harness, ECM harness) is prohibited.
Immediately after illumination, the light intensity and color will fluctuate, but there is nothing wrong.
When the bulb has reached the end of its lifetime, the brightness may drop significantly, it may flash
repeatedly, or the light may turn a reddish color.

1. CHECK 1: XENON HEADLAMP LIGHTING
Install normal xenon bulb to corresponding xenon bulb headlamp, and check if lamp lights up.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace xenon bulb.
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK 2: XENON HEADLAMP LIGHTING
Install normal HID control unit to corresponding xenon headlamp, and check if lamp lights up.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace HID control unit.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK 3: XENON HEADLAMP LIGHTING
Install normal xenon lamp housing assembly to corresponding xenon headlamp, and check if lamp lights up.
OK or NG
OK >> Replace xenon headlamp housing assembly.
