Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such as those in
“Computer Controlled Systems”).
Circuits in the “Computer Controlled System” operate on very low amperage.
The (Computer Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation, improper wire
gauge or corrosion.
The step by step voltage drop test can identify a component or wire with too much resistance.
Control Unit Circuit Test
System Description:When the switch is ON, the control unit lights up the lamp.

lamps turn off when lighting switch is in the 2ND position or AUTO position (Headlamp is "ON") and when light-
ing switch is in the PASSING position. (Daytime light lamps are not turned off only by parking brake itself.)
A parking brake signal and engine run or stop signal are sent to BCM (body control module) by CAN commu-
nication line.
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times
• to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room),
• through 50A fusible link (letter f , located in the fuse and fusible link box)
• to BCM terminal 70,
• through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)
• to CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R,
• through 10A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 8, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 45, located in the IPDM E/R)
• to daytime light relay terminals 2 and 5.
When the ignition switch is in ON or START position, power is supplied
• to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R,
• through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)
• to BCM terminal 38, and
• through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
• to combination meter terminal 24.
Ground is supplied
• to BCM terminal 67 and
• to combination meter terminal 17
• through grounds M57, M61 and M79.
DAYTIME LIGHT OPERATION
With the engine running, the lighting switch in the OFF or 1ST position and parking brake released, the IPDM
E/R receives input requesting the daytime lights illuminate. This input is communicated across the CAN com-
munication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the daytime light relay coil. When energized, this relay
directs power
• through daytime light relay terminal 3
• to front combination lamp LH terminal 2
• through front combination lamp LH terminal 6
• to IPDM E/R terminal 55
• through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in the IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 56
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied
• to front combination lamp RH terminal 2
• through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the daytime lights illuminate. The high beam headlamps are now wired in
series and illuminate at a reduced intensity.

BATTERY
CHARGING THE BATTERY
CAUTION:
• Do not “quick charge” a fully discharged battery.
• Keep the battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
• When connecting the charger, connect the leads first, then turn on the charger. Do not turn on the
charger first, as this may cause a spark.
• If battery electrolyte temperature rises above 55°C (131°F), stop charging. Always charge battery at a
temperature below 55°C (131°F).
Charging Rates
Do not charge at more than 50 ampere rate.
NOTE:
The ammeter reading on your battery charger will automatically decrease as the battery charges. This indi-
cates that the voltage of the battery is increasing normally as the state of charge improves. The charging amps
indicated above refer to initial charge rate.
• If, after charging, the specific gravity of any two cells varies more than 0.050, the battery should be replaced.
Trouble Diagnosis with Battery/Starting/Charging System TesterINFOID:0000000003533317
CAUTION:
When working with batteries, always wear appropriate eye protection.
NOTE:
• To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and generator test segments must be
done as a set from start to finish.
• If battery surface charge is detected while testing, the tester will prompt you to turn on the headlights to
remove the surface charge.
• If necessary, the tester will prompt you to determine if the battery temperature is above or below 0°C (32°F).
Choose the appropriate selection by pressing the up or down arrow button, then press “ENTER” to make the
selection.
