System DescriptionEKS007AB
Daytime light system turns on daytime light lamps while driving. Daytime light lamps are not turned on if
engine is activated with parking brake applied. Release parking brake to turn on daytime light lamps. The
lamps turn off when lighting switch is in the 2ND position or AUTO position (Headlamp is "ON") and when light-
ing switch is in the PASSING position. (Daytime light lamps are not turned off only by parking brake itself.)
A parking brake signal and engine run or stop signal are sent to BCM (body control module) by CAN commu-
nication line.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 8, and

through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to BCM terminal 70, and

through 10A fuse [No. 45, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)]

to daytime light relay terminals 2 and 5.
When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 24, and

through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)

to BCM terminal 38.
Ground is supplied

to combination meter terminal 17 and

to BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
DAYTIME LIGHT OPERATION
With the engine running, the lighting switch in the OFF or 1ST position and parking brake released, the IPDM
E/R receives input requesting the daytime lights illuminate. This input is communicated across the CAN com-
munication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the daytime light relay coil.
When energized, this relay directs power

through daytime light relay terminal 3

to front combination lamp LH terminal 2

through front combination lamp LH terminal 6

through IPDM E/R terminal 55

through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in the IPDM E/R)

through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 56

to front combination lamp RH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied

to combination lamp RH terminal 2

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the daytime lights illuminate. The high beam headlamps are now wired in
series and illuminate at a reduced intensity.

through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)

to BCM terminal 38, and

through 10A fuse (No. 51, located in the IPDM E/R)

to trailer tow relay 2 terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67 and

to electric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 1

through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

to trailer tow relay 1 terminal 2

to trailer tow relay 2 terminal 2 and

to trailer connector terminal 2

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
TRAILER TAIL LAMP OPERATION
The trailer tail lamps are controlled by the trailer tow relay 1.
With the lighting switch in the parking and tail lamp ON (1ST) position, AUTO position (and the auto light sys-
tem is activated) or headlamp ON (2ND) position, power is supplied

through the tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R

through 10A fuse (No. 36, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 49

to trailer tow relay 1 terminal 1.
When energized, trailer tow relay 1 supplies tail lamp power to trailer connector terminal 6.
TRAILER BRAKE, TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
The trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamps are all controlled by the BCM. When the brake pedal is
depressed, the BCM receives stop lamp switch signal through CAN communication. If the brake pedal is
depressed or either turn signal or the hazard lamps are turned on, the BCM supplies voltage to the trailer
lamps to make them flash or turn on.
Left trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamp output is supplied

through BCM terminal 52

to trailer connector terminal 1.
Right trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamp output is supplied

through BCM terminal 51

to trailer connector terminal 4.
TRAILER BRAKE OPERATION
The trailer brake is controlled by the electric brake. The electric brake receives stop lamp switch signal at elec-
tric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 2 when the brake pedal is depressed.
When the brake pedal is depressed, power is supplied by the electric brake

through electric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 3

to trailer connector terminal 3.
TRAILER POWER SUPPLY OPERATION
The trailer power supply is controlled by the trailer tow relay 2.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse (No. 51, located in the IPDM E/R)

to IPDM E/R terminal 16

to trailer tow relay 2 terminal 1.
When energized, the trailer tow relay 2 supplies power

through trailer tow relay 2 terminals 5 and 7

to trailer connector terminal 5.

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
boosterCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Keep the floor
mats away from the pedal.BR-6, "
Inspection and
Adjustment", BR-17,
"On-Vehicle Service"
Parking brakeCheck that the parking brake control has the proper travel and make sure that
the vehicle is held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is
applied.PB-3, "On-Vehicle Ser-
vice"
Automatic transmis-
sion “Park” mecha-
nismOn a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in the P position without applying the brakes. — ItemReference page
ItemReference page
Windshield washer
fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.MA-12
Radiator and hosesCheck the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation,
deterioration or loose connections.—
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoirsMA-27
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines. Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the battery fluid level.—
Engine drive beltMake sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.MA-12
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-
ing off the engine.MA-16
Power steering fluid
level and linesCheck the level on the reservoir with the engine off. Check the lines for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.MA-29
Automatic transmis-
sion fluid levelCheck the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the
engine idling.MA-21
Exhaust systemMake sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it.MA-21
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around
the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate.—
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.—
