INSPECTION
1.Check that the red light flickers when the door lock or unlock button is pressed on the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and check voltage if the red light doesn't flicker.
Standard voltage : 3V
3.Replace the transmitter battery with a new one, if voltage is below 3V then try to lock and unlock the doors with the
transmitter by pressing the lock or unlock button five or six times.
4. If the doors lock and unlock, the transmitter is O.K, but if the doors don't lock and unlock, register the transmitter
code, then try to lock and unlock the doors.
5. If the transmitter is failure, replace only the transmitter.

MODULE INTRODUCTION
FAM/IPM/RAM consists of a power board and an electronic board. The power board contains circuit protection devices
and switching devices. The electronic board uses Intelligent Power Switching (IPS) for HS/LS load control, logic
functions and CAN/K- Line communication. The power board and electronic board are connected with pin blocks for
the Front Area Module (FAM) and VCD (Variable Connection Displacement) for the In- Panel Module (IPM) and the
Rear Area Module (RAM).

Functions
Exterior Lighting Functions
The exterior lighting function has to provide the lighting and signalling of the vehicle; it monitors different available
lights in front or at the back of the vehicle: a. Park and Tail lamps (with Side marker lamps),
b. License plate lamps,
c. Head lamps Low Beam,
d. Head lamps High Beam,
e. Front and Rear fog lamps (with the Rear fog lamp switch indicator),
f. Stop lamps,
g. Backup lamps,
h. Turn signal and side repeater lamps.
Park/tail Lamps Function
1.Necessary conditions to switch ON :
a. By putting the Head lamp switch in position 'Park and Tail lamp' or 'Head lamp Low Beam' or Auto light
activation or DRL activation
2. Necessary conditions to switch OFF :
a. If they are released by the Head lamp switch (Auto light function deactivated) and if DRL function is deactivated
b. If the Auto light function is active but the Auto light Sensor signal status is OFF or Battery Saver function is
active.

Head Lamps Low Beam Function
1.Necessary conditions to switch ON :
a. By putting the Head lamp switch in position 'Head lamp Low Beam' or Auto light activation or DRL activation.
2. Necessary conditions to switch OFF :
a. If they are released by the Head lamp switch (Auto light function deactivated) and if the DRL function is
deactivated
b. If the Auto light function is active but the Auto light sensor signal status is not 'HL ON'.
3. Functional diagram
Head Lamps High Beam Function
1.Necessary conditions to switch ON :
a. By pushing down the High Beam lever switch if
a. the Head lamp switch is in position 'Head lamp Low Beam' or the Head lamps Low Beam have been turned ON
by the Auto light function.
b. By pulling the High Beam lever switch toward the driver (Flash to pass activation)
c. By the DRL function activation for Canada.
2. Necessary conditions to switch OFF :
a. By pulling back the High Beam lever switch (manual reset by the driver) or
b. If the Head lamps Low Beam are turned OFF or if the Auto light function is active but the Auto light Sensor
signal status is not 'HL ON') or
c. By releasing the Flash To Pass activation and
d. If the DRL function is deactivated for Canada.

Turn Signal And Side Repeater Lamps Function
1.Necessary conditions to switch ON(if they are standard) :
a. By activation of Crash Unlock
b. During the opening / closing of the Tail gate by the PTG Flasher input
c. With the Remote Keyless Entry to lock / unlock the vehicle
d. By alarm activation
e. By panic activation with the Remote Keyless Entry
f. By activation of the Hazard Lamp by the hazard switch and ignition is position OFF, ACC or RUN
g. By using the turn lever switch with the ignition switch in the ON position.
2. Necessary conditions to switch OFF(if they are standard) :
a. Ignition switch in OFF position for deactivation of crash unlock flashing
b. Deactivation of the alarm or at the end of the alarm flashing sequence
c. Deactivation of panic sequence with pushing any button of the Remote Keyless Entry or at the end of the panic
flashing sequence
d. Turn lever switch command in OFF postion or ignition switch in OFF, ACC or START position to stop turn lever
flashing.
e. The hazard switch in OFF position or ignition switch in position START to stop the Hazard flashing.
f. At the end of the Lock, Unlock and PTG flashing sequence.
3. During the start up of the vehicle (ignition key in position START) :
a. The Turn signal lamps activated by the turn lever switch are temporarily turned OFF. If the time duration in Start
position is more than 10seconds and engine running, the Turn signal lamps are managed again as if the ignition
key was in ON position,
b. The flashing sequence of the hazard lamps is immediately stopped if they have been activated by the hazard
button. If the time duration in Start position is more than 10seconds and engine running, the flashing sequence

Auto Light Function
1.The Auto light function is active when the Head lamp switch is positioned to 'Auto' and the Key is in RUN position.
The auto light sensor is powered on the status ACC, START and RUN of the key position. Based on the Auto light
sensor values corresponding to the exterior brightness level, it controls automatically the lighting of the Park and tail
lamps or / and the Head lamps Low Beam depending on the country.
2. Auto light Sensor detection table
Mode Tail Lamps
Head Lamps Low Beam
Lux (Lux) Voltage(V) Lux (Lux)Voltage(V)
ON < 24 ± 5.2 <1.77 ± 0.08V Same as Tail lamps
OFF > 48 ± 10.5 > 3.47 ± 0.1V Same as Tail lamps
