HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROL
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003533384
The headlamp aiming system is controlled by the headlamp aiming switch.
Power is supplied at all times
• to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room), and
• through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)
• to BCM (body control module) terminal 70, and
• to headlamp low relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room), and
• through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)
• to CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
• to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)
• to BCM terminal 38.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
• through 10A fuse [No. 4, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 11.
When the lighting switch is in the 2ND position or AUTO position (auto lights ON), the headlamp low relay
(located in the IPDM E/R) is energized. When energized, power is supplied
• through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 26
• to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 8.
Ground is supplied
• to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 4
• through grounds E9, E15 and E24, and
• to front combination lamp LH and RH (headlamp aiming motor) terminal 7
• through headlamp aiming switch terminal 1
• through headlamp aiming switch terminal 2
• through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
With power and ground supplied, headlamp aiming motors operate according to the aiming switch position.

FRONT FOG LAMP
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000003533388
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003533389
Control of the fog lamps is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting switch). The light-
ing switch must be in the 2ND position or AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) for front fog lamp operation.
When the lighting switch is placed in the fog lamp position, the BCM (body control module) receives input sig-
nal requesting the fog lamps to illuminate. When the headlamps are illuminated, this input signal is communi-
cated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication
lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil. When acti-
vated, this relay directs power to the front fog lamps.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times
• to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R,
• to front fog lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R,
• through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)
• to CPU of the IPDM E/R, and
• through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)
• to BCM terminal 70.
When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied
• to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)
• to BCM terminal 38.
Ground is supplied
• to BCM terminal 67
• through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and
• to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59
• through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
FOG LAMP OPERATION
The fog lamp switch is built into the combination switch. The lighting switch must be in the 2ND position or
AUTO position (LOW beam is ON) and the fog lamp switch must be ON for fog lamp operation.
WKIA3466E

LT-50
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
FRONT FOG LAMP
With the fog lamp switch in the ON position, the CPU of the IPDM E/R grounds the coil side of the fog lamp
relay. The fog lamp relay then directs power
• through 20A fuse (No. 56, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 50
• to front turn/fog lamp LH terminal 1, and
• through IPDM E/R terminal 51
• to front turn/fog lamp RH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied
• to front turn/fog lamp LH and RH terminal 3
• through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the front fog lamps illuminate.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-3, "System Description" .
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), the fog lamp switch is ON, and the
ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the fog lamps (and headlamps) remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the fog lamps (and
headlamps) are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
