Component Parts and Har ness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000001328265
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328266
Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon t he position of the combination switch (lighting
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) through the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central
processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R contro ls the headlamp high and headlamp low relay coils. These
relays, when energized, direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.
If voltage is applied to a high beam solenoid, the bulb shade will move, even a xenon head lamp bulb comes
out, and a high beam and a low beam are changed.

HEADLAMP OPERATION
Low Beam Operation
With the lighting switch in the 2ND position, the BCM receives input signal requesting the headlamps to illumi-
nate. This input signal is communicated to the IP DM E/R through the CAN communication lines. The CPU
located in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp lo w 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 6,
 through 15A fuse (No. 86, located in IPDM E/R)
 through IPDM E/R terminal 30
 to front combination lamp LH terminal 6.
Ground is supplied
 to front combination lamp RH and LH terminals 7
 through grounds E21, E50 and E51,
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation
With the lighting switch in the 2ND position and placed in the HIGH or PASS position, the BCM receives input
signal requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. Th is input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R
through 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 6,
 through 15A fuse (No. 86, located in IPDM E/R)
 through IPDM E/R terminal 30
 to front combination lamp LH terminal 6,
 through 10A fuse (No. 72, located in IPDM E/R)
 through IPDM E/R terminal 27
 to front combination lamp RH terminal 5,
 through 10A fuse (No. 74, located in IPDM E/R)
 through IPDM E/R terminal 28
 to front combination lamp LH terminal 5.
Ground is supplied
 to front combination lamp RH and LH terminals 7
 through grounds E21, E50 and E51,
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
If voltage is applied to a high beam solenoid, the bulb shade will move, even a xenon head lamp bulb comes
out, and a high beam and a low beam are changed.
The unified meter and A/C amp. that received the hi gh beam request signal by BCM through the CAN commu-
nication makes a high beam indicator lamp turn on in combination meter.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-4, "System Description".
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 illumi nated for 5 minutes, then the headlamps are turned OFF.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system will flash the high beams if the system is triggered. Refer to BL-163.
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 si milar to sunlight that is easy to the eyes.
 Light output is nearly double that of halogen headl amps, 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 DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328267
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication li ne 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.
