HEADLAMP (FOR CANADA) - DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM -
Revision: November 20092006 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.

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
to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 4
through grounds E9, E15 and E24, and
to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 7
through headlamp aiming switch terminal 1
through headlamp aiming switch terminal 2
through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With power and ground supplied, headlamp aiming motors operate according to the aiming switch position.

FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
Aiming AdjustmentEKS00B9M
The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.
Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.
Place vehicle on level ground.
See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the
driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjustment
screw.
NOTE:
Access adjustment screw from underneath front bumper. Turn screw
clockwise to raise pattern and counterclockwise to lower pattern.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the fog lamp lens as shown.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge of the high intensity zone is 200 mm (7.9 in) below the height of
the fog lamp centers as shown.
When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the headlamps
and opposite fog lamp.
