Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS003OK
System DescriptionNKS003OL
The control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (light-
ing switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM (body control module) receives
input signal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) 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 headlamp high and headlamp low relay coils.
These relays, when energized, direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.

HEADLAMP OPERATION
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input signal requesting the headlamps to illuminate.
This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in
the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp low relay coil, which when energized, directs power

through 15A fuse (No. 76, located in IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 20

to front combination lamp RH terminal 8,

through 15A fuse (No. 86, located in IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 30

to front combination lamp LH terminal 8.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp RH terminal 4

to front combination lamp LH terminal 4

through grounds E22 and E43.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in 2ND position and placed in HIGH or PASS position, the BCM receives input signal
requesting the headlamp high beams and low beams to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the
IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp
high relay coil and low relay coil, which when energized, directs power

through 15A fuse (No. 76, located in IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 20

to front combination lamp RH terminal 8,

through 15A fuse (No. 86, located in IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 30

to front combination lamp LH terminal 8,

through 10A fuse (No. 72, located in IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 27

to front combination lamp RH terminal 6,

through 10A fuse (No. 74, located in IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 28

to front combination lamp LH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp RH terminal 4

to front combination lamp LH terminal 4

to front combination lamp RH terminal 2

to front combination lamp LH terminal 2

through grounds E22 and E43.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam and low beam headlamps illuminate.
The unified meter and A/C amp. that received the high beam request signal by BCM across the CAN commu-
nication makes a high beam indicator lamp turn on in the 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.
AUTO LIGHT OPERATION
Refer to LT- 11 5 , "System Description" .
XENON HEADLAMP
Xenon type lamps are used for to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead, they
produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture of
xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to strong lighting power, electronic control of
the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Followings are some advantages of the xenon type headlamp.

The light produced by the headlamps is white color similar to sunlight that is easy to the eyes.

Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.

Counter-reflected luminance increases and the contrast enhances on the wet road in the rain. That makes
visibility go up more than the increase of the light volume.

Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNKS003OM
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.
