Control Unit Circuit Test
System Description:When the switch is ON, the control unit lights up the lamp.
INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHART
The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*:If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 1 does not detect battery voltage. Control unit
does not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not supply power to light up the
lamp.
INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHART
The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*:If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 2 does not detect approx. 0V. Control unit does
not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not control ground to light up the lamp.

HEADLAMP (FOR CANADA) - DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM -
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
System DescriptionEKS00B8E
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

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room), and

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

to BCM terminal 70, and

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R, and

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

to combination meter terminal 8, and

through 10A fuse (No. 45, located in the IPDM E/R)

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

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

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

to BCM terminal 38, and

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

to combination meter terminal 24.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67 and

to combination meter terminal 17

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 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

to 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 front 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.

HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROLPFP:26010
System DescriptionEKS00B97
The headlamp aiming system is controlled by the headlamp aiming switch.
Power is supplied at all times

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room), and

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

to BCM (body control module) terminal 70, and

to headlamp low relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room), and

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

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

to BCM terminal 38.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 4, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM terminal 11.
When the lighting switch is in the 2ND position or AUTO position (auto lights ON), the headlamp low relay
(located in the IPDM E/R) is energized. When energized, power is supplied

through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 26

to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 8.
Ground is supplied

BATTERY
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
CHARGING THE BATTERY
CAUTION:

Do not “quick charge” a fully discharged battery.

Keep the battery away from open flame while it is being charged.

When connecting the charger, connect the leads first, then turn on the charger. Do not turn on the
charger first, as this may cause a spark.

If battery electrolyte temperature rises above 55°C (131°F), stop charging. Always charge battery
at a temperature below 55°C (131°F).
Charging Rates
Do not charge at more than 50 ampere rate.
NOTE:
The ammeter reading on your battery charger will automatically decrease as the battery charges. This indi-
cates that the voltage of the battery is increasing normally as the state of charge improves. The charging amps
indicated above refer to initial charge rate.

If, after charging, the specific gravity of any two cells varies more than 0.050, the battery should be
replaced.
Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System TesterEKS00B79
CAUTION:
When working with batteries, always wear appropriate eye protection.
NOTE:

To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and generator test segments must be
done as a set from start to finish.

If battery surface charge is detected while testing, the tester will prompt you to turn on the headlights to
remove the surface charge.

If necessary, the tester will prompt you to determine if the battery temperature is above or below 0°C
(32°F). Choose the appropriate selection by pressing the up or down arrow button, then press “ENTER” to
make the selection.
