HEADLAMP (FOR USA) - CONVENTIONAL TYPE -PFP:26010
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS003NY
System DescriptionNKS003NZ
The control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (light-
ing 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 CPU
(central processing unit) located in 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.

HEADLAMP (FOR CANADA) - DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM -PFP:26010
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS003P9
System DescriptionNKS003PA
DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM turns on daytime light lamps while driving. Daytime light lamps are not turned on if
engine is activated with parking brake on. Take off parking brake to turn on daytime light lamps. The lamps
turn off when lighting switch is in the 2ND position or AUTO position (Head lamp is “ON”) and when lighting
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, and control daytime light system.

System DescriptionNKS003PZ
Automatically turns ON/OFF the parking lamps and the headlamps in accordance with ambient light.
Timing for when lamps turn ON/OFF can be selected using four modes.
OUTLINE
The auto light control system has an optical sensor inside it that detects outside brightness.
When the lighting switch is in AUTO position, it automatically turns ON/OFF the parking lamps and the head-
lamps in accordance with ambient light. Sensitivity can be adjusted in four steps. For the details of the setting,
Refer to LT- 1 2 6 , "
SETTING CHANGE FUNCTIONS" .
Optical sensor, power is supplied
from BCM (body control module) terminal 17

FRONT FOG LAMPPFP:26150

System DescriptionNKS003R3
The control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The
lighting switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (headlamp is ON) for front fog lamp operation.
When the lighting switch is placed in fog lamp position, the BCM (body control module) receives input signal
requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communicated
to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The
CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil. When activated,
this relay directs power to the front fog lamps.
