FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
FOG LAMP OPERATION
The fog lamp switch is built in combination switch. The lighting switch must be in 2ND position or AUTO posi-
tion (headlamp is ON) and fog lamp switch must be ON for fog lamp operation.
With the fog lamp switch in the ON position, the CPU located in IPDM E/R grounds coil side of the fog lamp
relay. Fog lamp relay then directs power

through IPDM E/R terminal 37

to front fog lamp RH terminal 1,

through IPDM E/R terminal 36

to front fog lamp LH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to front fog lamp RH terminal 2

through grounds E22 and E43,

to front fog lamp LH terminal 2

through grounds E22 and E43.
With power and grounds supplied, the front fog lamps illuminate.
The unified meter and A/C amp. that received the front fog lamp request signal by BCM across the CAN com-
munication makes a front fog lamp indicator lamp turn on in combination meter.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-3, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the headlamps are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNKS003R4
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.

tion lines.
The unified meter and A/C amp. which received the turn indicator signal makes the left and right turn signal
indicator turn on in combination meter.
With power and input supplied, the BCM controls the flashing of the hazard warning lamps.

ILLUMINATIONPFP:27545
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.
