Revision: November 2009 2006 QX56
HEADLAMP (FOR USA)PFP:26010
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationEKS00B7S
System DescriptionEKS00B7T
Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting
switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM (body control module) receives input
requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent
power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central processing
unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high and headlamp low relay coils. When energized, these relays
direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times

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

to headlamp high relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

to headlamp low relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

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

to CPU of the IPDM E/R, and

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

HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

to BCM terminal 70.
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.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67

through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input requesting the headlamps to illuminate. This
input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R con-
trols the headlamp low relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power

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

through IPDM E/R terminal 54

to front combination lamp RH terminal 5, and

through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 52

to front combination lamp LH terminal 5.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 1

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and placed in HIGH or PASS position, the BCM receives input request-
ing the headlamp high beams to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN com-
munication lines. The CPU of the combination meter controls the ON/OFF status of the HIGH BEAM indicator.
The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power

through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 56

to front combination lamp RH terminal 6, and

through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 55

to front combination lamp LH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH and RH terminal 2

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
XENON HEADLAMP
Xenon type headlamp is adopted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Following are some of the many advantages of the xenon type headlamp.

The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.

Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.

The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sen-
sitive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle, for added visibility.

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.
