General Information for Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS003PR
In most cases, malfunction of xenon headlamp - “does not illuminate”, “flickers” or “dark” - is caused by a mal-
functioning xenon bulb. A HID control unit or lamp housing, however, may be a cause of malfunction. Be sure
to perform trouble diagnosis following the steps described below.
CAUTION:NKS003PS

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

When lamp is illuminated (when lighting switch is ON), do not touch harness, HID control unit, inside of
lamp, or lamp metal parts.

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

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

Do not work with wet hands.

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

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

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

When the bulb has reached the end of its lifetime, the brightness may drop significantly, it may flash
repeatedly, or the light may turn a reddish color.
Xenon Headlamp Trouble DiagnosisNKS003PT
1. CHECK 1: XENON HEADLAMP LIGHTING

AFS SWITCH
AFS switch transmits state of ON/OFF as AFS switch signals to AFS
control unit.

AFS control unit performs AFS operation when AFS switch is
ON and turns off AFS off indicator lamp.

AFS control unit does not perform AFS operation when AFS
switch is OFF, and turns on AFS off indicator lamp.
HEIGHT SENSOR
The height sensor is located on the left side of the rear suspension
member and detects rear vehicle height change by sensing the dis-
placement of the rear suspension arm. And transmits a height sen-
sor signal to the AFS control unit.
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
The steering angle sensor is located combination switch and detects
steering angle. And transmits a steering angle sensor signal to the
AFS control unit.
IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R detects ON/OFF state of low beam headlamps. It transmits a low beam state signal to the AFS con-
trol unit.
ECM
ECM transmits an engine speed signal to the AFS control unit.
TCM
TCM transmits an A/T position indicator signal to the AFS control unit.
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits vehicle speed signals to the AFS control unit.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits AFS off indicator signals received from the AFS control unit to the
combination meter.
COMBINATION METER
Combination meter turns on/off or blinks built-in AFS off indicator lamp depending on AFS off indicator signal
received from unified meter and A/C amp.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionNKS004E2

IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relay via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuit.

IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control and
oil pressure switch signal reception, etc.

It controls operation of each electrical part via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication, it receives signal from BCM and controls the following lamps:

Headlamps (HI, LO)

Tail, parking and license plate lamps

Front fog lamps
2. Daytime light relay control (for Canada models)
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the daytime light relay.
3. Wiper control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the front wipers.
4. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the rear window defogger relay.
5. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls the A/C relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls cooling fan via cooling fan control
module.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls horn relay.
8. Starter motor relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls starter motor relay.
9. Alternator control
Using CAN communication, it receives signal from ECM and controls power generation voltage.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN L-line, CAN
H-line), it is possible to transmit maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control

When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.

Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamps

With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp low relay is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp low relay is OFF.
Tail, parking and
license plate lamps

With the ignition switch ON, the tail lamp relay is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the tail lamp relay is OFF.
Cooling fan

With the ignition switch ON, the cooling fan HI operates.

With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
Front wiperUntil the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper LO and HI remains in the same status it was in just
before fail−safe control was initiated.

Concept of Auto Active Test

IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it receives door switch signal from BCM via CAN commu-
nication line. Therefore, when auto active test mode is activated successfully, CAN communication
between IPDM E/R and BCM is normal.

If any of systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated, possible cause can be easily diagnosed
using auto active test.
