TRAILER TAIL LAMP OPERATION
The trailer tail lamps are controlled by the trailer tow relay 1.
With the lighting switch in the parking and tail lamp ON (1ST) position, AUTO position (and the auto light sys-
tem is activated) or headlamp ON (2ND) position, power is supplied
• through the tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R
• through 10A fuse (No. 36, located in the IPDM E/R)

When energized, trailer tow relay 1 supplies tail lamp power to trailer connector terminal 6.
TRAILER TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
The trailer turn signal and hazard lamps are controlled by the BCM through trailer turn relays (LH and RH). If
either turn signal or the hazard lamps are turned on, the BCM supplies voltage to the trailer turn relays (LH
and RH) to make them cycle on and off.
Trailer turn relay LH output is supplied
• through BCM terminal 52
• to trailer turn relay LH terminal 1.
Trailer turn relay RH output is supplied
• through BCM terminal 51
• to trailer turn relay RH terminal 1.
Left turn signal and hazard lamp output is supplied
• through trailer turn relay LH terminal 3
• to trailer connector terminal 1.
Right turn signal and hazard lamp output is supplied
• through trailer turn relay RH terminal 3
• to trailer connector terminal 4.
TRAILER STOP LAMP OPERATION
The trailer stop lamps are controlled by the electric brake. The electric brake receives stop lamp switch signal
when the brake pedal is pressed.
When the brake pedal is pressed, power is supplied
• through electric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 3
• to trailer connector terminal 3.
TRAILER POWER SUPPLY OPERATION
The trailer power supply is controlled by the trailer tow relay 2.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, power is supplied
• through 10A fuse (No. 51, located in the IPDM E/R)

ILLUMINATION OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives
input signal requesting the illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R
across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the tail lamp relay coil, which, when
energized, directs power
• through 10A fuse (No. 36, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 49

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is acti-
vated), and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the illumination lamps are
turned off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
boosterCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Keep the floor
mats away from the pedal.BR-5, "
Inspection and
Adjustment", BR-15,
"On-Vehicle Service"
Parking brakeCheck that the parking brake control has the proper travel and make sure that
the vehicle is held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is
applied.PB-4
Automatic transmis-
sion “Park” mecha-
nismOn a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector lever
in the P position without applying the brakes. — ItemReference page
ItemReference page
Windshield washer
fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank.
—
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. —
Radiator and hosesCheck the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc., that
may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks, deformation, de-
terioration or loose connections.—
Brake fluid levelMake sure that the brake fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the
reservoirsMA-27
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.—
Engine drive beltMake sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.MA-12
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turn-
ing off the engine.—
Power steering fluid
level and linesCheck the level on the reservoir with the engine off. Check the lines for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.MA-28
Automatic transmis-
sion fluid levelCheck the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the en-
gine idling.MA-21
Exhaust systemMake sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the ex-
haust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it.MA-21
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these sub-
stances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the
exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly
flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt
can easily accumulate.—
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is
normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for
the cause and correct it immediately.—
