General Information for Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS002VP
In most cases, malfunction of xenon headlamp - “does not illuminate”, “flickers” or “dark” - is caused by a mal-
functioning xenon bulb. A malfunctioning HID control unit or lamp housing, however, may be a cause. Be sure
to perform trouble diagnosis following the steps described below.
Caution:NKS002VQ

Installation or removal of connector must be done with lighting switch OFF.

Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal or remove power fuse.

When the lamp is illuminated (when lighting switch is ON), never touch harness, HID control unit, inside of
lamp, or lamp metal parts.

To check illumination, temporarily install lamp in vehicle. Be sure to connect power at vehicle side connec-
tor.

If error can be traced directly to electrical system, first check for items such as blown fuses and fusible
links, broken wires or loose connectors, dislocated terminals, and improper connections.

Never work with wet hands.

Using a tester for HID control unit circuit trouble diagnosis is prohibited.

Disassembling HID control unit or harnesses (bulb socket harness, ECM harness) is prohibited.

Immediately after illumination, light intensity and color will fluctuate, but there is nothing wrong.

When bulb has come to end of its life, brightness will drop significantly, it will flash repeatedly, or light color
will turn reddish.

DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEMPFP:284B2
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS002VW
System DescriptionNKS002VX
Daytime light system turns ON daytime light lamps while driving. Daytime light lamps are not turned ON if
engine is activated with parking brake ON. Release parking brake to turn ON daytime light lamps. The lamps
turn OFF when the lighting switch is in the 2ND position or AUTO position (headlamp is ON) and when the
lighting switch is in the PASSING position (daytime light lamps are not turned OFF only by parking brake
itself).
The parking brake signal and engine run or stop signal are sent to BCM (body control module) by CAN com-
munication line, and control daytime light system.
