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 controlled by the BCM through trailer turn relays (LH and
RH). When the brake pedal is depressed, the BCM receives stop lamp switch signal through CAN communi-
cation. If the brake pedal is depressed or either turn signal or the hazard lamps are turned on, the BCM sup-
plies voltage to the trailer turn relays (LH and RH) to make them cycle on and off.
Trailer turn relay LH output is supplied

through BCM terminal 52

to trailer turn relay LH terminal 1.
Trailer turn relay RH output is supplied

through BCM terminal 51

to trailer turn relay RH terminal 1.
Left trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamp output is supplied

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)

through 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.

Revision: November 20092006 QX56
How to Proceed With Trouble DiagnosisEKS00BBA
1. Confirm the symptom or customer complaint.
2. Understand operation description and function description. Refer to LT- 1 3 5 , "
System Description" .
3. Carry out the Preliminary Check. Refer to LT- 1 4 8 , "
Preliminary Check" .
4. Check symptom and repair or replace the cause of malfunction.
5. Does the interior room lamp operate normally? If YES: GO TO 6. If NO: GO TO 4.
6. Inspection End.
Preliminary CheckEKS00BBB
INSPECTION FOR POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
1. CHECK FUSES OR FUSIBLE LINK
Check for blown BCM fuses or fusible link.
Refer to LT- 1 4 0 , "
Wiring Diagram — INT/L —" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> If fuse or fusible link is blown, be sure to eliminate cause of malfunction before installing new fuse or fusible link. Refer to PG-4, "
POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" .
2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect BCM connectors.
2. Check voltage between BCM connector and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check harness for open between BCM and fuse or fusible link.
3. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT
Check continuity between BCM and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Inspection End.
NG >> Check harness ground circuit.

ILLUMINATION
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

to combination meter terminal 8
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, 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, and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
ILLUMINATION OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives
input signal requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R
across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil, which, when
energized, directs power

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

through IPDM E/R terminal 49

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is acti-
vated), and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the illumination lamps are
turned off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
