ROOM LAMP TIMER OPERATION
BCM controls applicable lamps to illuminate for 15 seconds (can be set maximum 30 seconds) by timer oper-
ation under following conditions. BCM also controls applicable lamps to brighten for 1 second (can be set max-
imum 5 seconds) when turned ON, or to dim for 3 seconds (can be set maximum 5 seconds) when turned
OFF. (Timer operating time and dimming/brightening time can be changed with CONSULT-II. Refer to LT- 2 8 3 ,
"WORK SUPPORT (INT LAMP)" .) This control operates as follows.
Applicable lamps

Room lamp system: map lamp, foot lamp (driver side and passenger side) and personal lamp (rear LH
and rear RH).
BCM controls room lamp timer operation under following condition.

Condition 1: Door lock state changes.*
BCM judges as the door lock is unlocked under either case below.
–The Intelligent Key unit sends door lock/unlock trunk open request signal (driver side unlock or passenger
side unlock) to BCM through CAN communication line by unlock operation of intelligent key, outside key
antenna and front door request switch (driver side) or outside key antenna and front door request switch
(passenger side).
–Key cylinder switch state (unlock) signal is sent to BCM through power window serial link when front door
lock assembly (driver side) (key cylinder switch) is unlocked (ON) by power window main switch unlock
operation.
And fulfills all the conditions below.
–The engine switch (push switch) is OFF.
–All the doors are closed.
*: This setting can be changed by CONSULT-II. Refer to LT- 2 8 3 , "
WORK SUPPORT (INT LAMP)" .

Condition 2: Any door switch state changes.*
The BCM terminal value of operated door switch is changed when any door is opened and then closed.
From that BCM judges as the door is opened and then closed.
And fulfills all the conditions below.
–The engine switch (push switch) is OFF.
–All the doors are closed.
*: This setting can be changed by CONSULT-II. Refer to LT- 2 8 3 , "
WORK SUPPORT (INT LAMP)" .

Condition 3: Engine switch (push switch) state changes.*
The Intelligent Key unit judges as the engine switch (push switch) is OFF and sends push-button ignition
switch (push switch) signal to PDU (power distribution unit) when push-button ignition switch (push
switch) turned OFF. Then PDU (power distribution unit) turns OFF, IGN power supply and ACC power
supply.
And fulfills the conditions below.
–All the doors are closed.
*:This setting can be changed by CONSULT-II. Refer to LT- 2 8 3 , "
WORK SUPPORT (INT LAMP)" .
NOTE:
When timer operation signal is input during former timer operation, BCM goes for latter timer operation.

System DescriptionNKS003TH
Control of the illumination lamps operation is dependent upon the position of the lighting switch (combination
switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated)
the BCM (body control module) receives input signal requesting the illumination 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) located in the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay
coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to the illumination lamps, which then illuminate.

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
BCM activates the exterior lamp battery saver control function and turns off the exterior lamps to prevent bat-
tery from over discharge when the combination switch (lighting switch) is in 1ST or 2ND position and/or the
front fog lamp switch ON and the door lock operation is performed by keyless entry system.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNKS003TI
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitNKS003TJ
Refer to LAN-50, "CAN System Specification Chart" .

NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
NOTE:
When checking the engine oil level, insert oil level gauge with its
tip aligned with oil level gauge guide on cylinder head. (In figure,
air cleaner case and air duct are removed.)
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.

If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
