SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45

Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or
hitting it.

Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to
rapid temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it.
If water is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in
the vehicle.

Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.

Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.

Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the
upper and lower covers.

When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to
each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit
from damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.

When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use
the specified check adapter.

HEADLAMP - XENON TYPE -PFP:26010
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationAKS007M9
System DescriptionAKS007MA
Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting
switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM (body control module) receives input
signal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/
R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The central pro-
cessing unit of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high and headlamp low relay coils. These relays, when
energized, direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.
If voltage is applied to a high beam solenoid, the bulb shade will move, even a xenon head lamp bulb comes
out, and a high beam and a low beam are changed.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times

to ignition relay [located in IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)]

through 15A fuse [No. 1, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM (body control module) terminal 38.
When the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM (body control module) terminal 11.
Ground is supplied

to BCM (body control module) terminals 49 and 52

through grounds M35, M45 and M85

to IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) terminals 38 and 60

through grounds E21, E50 and E51.
Fog Lamp Operation
The fog lamp switch is built into the combination switch. The lighting switch must be in the 2ND position or
AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) and the fog lamp switch must be ON for fog lamp operation.
With the fog lamp switch in the ON position, the CPU of the IPDM E/R grounds the coil side of the fog lamp
relay. The fog lamp relay then directs power

through IPDM E/R terminal 37

to front fog lamp LH terminal 1

through IPDM E/R terminal 36

to front fog lamp RH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to front fog lamp LH terminal 2

through grounds E21, E50 and E51, and

to front fog lamp RH terminal 2

through grounds E21, E50 and E51.
With power and grounds supplied, the front fog lamps illuminate.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-3, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), the fog lamp switch is ON, and the
ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the fog lamps (and headlamps) remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the fog lamps (and
headlamps) are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
CAN Communication System DescriptionAKS007CJ
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.
CAN Communication UnitAKS0080V
