General Information for Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS003P2
In most cases, malfunction of xenon headlamp - "does not illuminate", "flickers" or "dark" - is caused by a mal-
functioning xenon bulb. A HID control unit or lamp housing, however, may be a cause of malfunction. Be sure
to perform trouble diagnosis following the steps described below.
Caution:NKS003P3
Installation or removal of connector must be done with lighting switch OFF.
Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal or remove power fuse.
When the lamp is illuminated (when lighting switch is ON), never touch harness, HID control unit, inside of
lamp, or lamp metal parts.
To check illumination, temporarily install lamp in vehicle. Be sure to connect power at vehicle side connec-
tor.
If error can be traced directly to electrical system, first check for items such as blown fuses and fusible
links, broken wires or loose connectors, dislocated terminals, and improper connections.
Never work with wet hands.
Using a tester for HID control unit circuit trouble diagnosis is prohibited.
Disassembling HID control unit or harnesses (bulb socket harness, ECM harness) is prohibited.
Immediately after illumination, light intensity and color will fluctuate, but there is nothing wrong.
When bulb has come to end of its life, brightness will drop significantly, it will flash repeatedly, or light color
will turn reddish.
Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS003P4
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. [Malfunction in starter (boosting circuit) in xenon
headlamp housing]
NG >> INSPECTION END

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.

HEADLAMP OPERATION
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input signal requesting the headlamps to illuminate.
This input signal is communicated to IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in the
IPDM E/R controls the headlamp low relay coil, which when energized, directs power
through 15A fuse (No. 76, located in IPDM E/R)
through IPDM E/R terminal 20
to front combination lamp RH terminal 8,
through 15A fuse (No. 86, located in IPDM E/R)
through IPDM E/R terminal 30
to front combination lamp LH terminal 8.
Ground is supplied
to front combination lamp RH terminal 4
to front combination lamp LH terminal 4
through grounds E22 and E43.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation (When Daytime Light Does Not Operate)/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and placed in HIGH BEAM or PASSING position, the BCM receives
input signal requesting headlamp high beams to illuminate. High beam request signal is communicated to the
IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls headlamp high
relay coil and low relay coil, which when energized, directs power
through 10A fuse (No. 72, located in IPDM E/R)
through IPDM E/R terminal 27
through front combination lamp RH terminals 6 and 2
to daytime light relay terminal 3,
through 10A fuse (No. 74, located in IPDM E/R)
through IPDM E/R terminal 28
to front combination lamp LH terminal 6,
through 15A fuse (No. 76, located in IPDM E/R)
through IPDM E/R terminal 20
to front combination lamp RH terminal 8,
through 15A fuse (No. 86, located in IPDM E/R)
through IPDM E/R terminal 30
to front combination lamp LH terminal 8.
Ground is supplied
to daytime light relay terminal 4
to front combination lamp RH terminal 4
to front combination lamp LH terminal 2
to front combination lamp LH terminal 4
through grounds E22 and E43.
With the power and ground supplied, the headlamp high beam and low headlamp illuminate.
High beam indicator illuminates when combination meter receives input signal requesting high beam indicator
to illuminate. This is communicated to BCM across the CAN communication lines.
