HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROLPFP:26010
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.

System DescriptionEKS00B9C
Control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The light-
ing switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front fog lamp operation.
When the lighting switch is placed in the fog lamp position, the BCM (body control module) receives input sig-
nal requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communi-
cated 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 front fog lamp relay coil. When acti-
vated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps.

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.

Control of the parking, license plate, and tail lamp operation is dependent upon the position of the lighting
switch (combination switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST position, the BCM (body control
module) receives input signal requesting the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps to 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) of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay
coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to the parking, license plate and tail lamps, which then illumi-
nate.
Power is supplied at all times

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

to tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

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

Precautions for Liquid GasketEBS00NIH
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface
and remove the old liquid gasket sealing using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.

Tap the seal cutter to insert it.

In areas where the Tool is difficult to use, lightly tap to slide it.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket applicationsurface and the mating surface using suitable tool.

Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign material.
3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the Tool. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-46, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.

As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified in the procedure, it should also be
applied outside the holes.

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.

If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten after the installation.

Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling the
engine with engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe them. Tool number
