System DescriptionNKS003H0
Control of the parking, license plate, side marker 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 illumi-
nate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room)
through the CAN communication lines. CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls the tail
lamp relay coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to the parking, license plate, side marker and tail
lamps, which then illuminate.
The current that flows by Rear combination lamp control unit is controlled, and a tail lamp (LED) is made to
turn ON.

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 parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps to illuminate. This input signal is
communicated to the IPDM E/R through the CAN communication. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls
the tail lamp relay coil, which when energized, directs power.

Precautions for Liquid GasketNBS003IV
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Apply liquid gasket to the liquid gasket application surface. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL
PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating component.

If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten after mounting bolts and nuts the installation.

After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill engine oil and engine coolant.
