HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
HEADLAMP (FOR USA)
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000001704360
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001704361
Headlamp operation is controlled by the BCM (body control module) based on inputs from the combination
switch (lighting switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM receives an input sig-
nal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. The BCM sends a signal, via the CAN communica-
tion lines, to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) requesting the headlamps be
turned ON. The CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls ground for the headlamp high
and headlamp low relay coils. These relays direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.

Headlamp operation is controlled by the BCM (body control module) based on inputs from the combination
switch (lighting switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM receives an input sig-
nal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. The request is then communicated to the IPDM E/R
(intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central pro-
cessing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls ground for the headlamp high and headlamp low relay coils.
These relays direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.  When the headlamp switch is
OFF or in the 1ST position (parking lamps ON), the parking brake is released and the engine is running, the
IPDM E/R de-energizes the headlamp relays and supplies ground to the daytime light relay 1 to actuate the
daytime light function.

FRONT FOG LAMP
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationINFOID:0000000001704397
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001704398
The front fog lamps are controlled by lighting switch inputs to the BCM (body control module).  The lighting
switch must be in the 1ST or 2ND position with the high beams OFF before the BCM will request the IPDM E/
R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) to turn the front fog lamps on.  The BCM requests the
front fog lamps over the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R.  The CPU (central processing unit) of the
IPDM E/R controls the front fog lamp relay coil ground.  When energized, the relay directs power to the front
fog lamps. 
OUTLINE
Power is supplied at all times:
• to front fog lamp relay (located in IPDM E/R), 
• to ignition relay (located in IPDM E/R),
• through 15A fuse (No. 52, located in IPDM E/R) and

• through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]
• to BCM terminal 38.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied

FOG LAMP OPERATION
The front fog lamp switch is built into the lighting switch. The lighting switch must be in 1ST position or 2ND
position and front fog lamp switch must be ON position for front fog lamp operation. The fog lamp will not oper-
ate with the high beam headlamps ON. 
When the front fog lamp switch is in the ON position, the BCM sends a request, via the CAN communication
lines, to the CPU of the IPDM E/R to ground the coil side of the front fog lamp relay. The front fog lamp relay
then directs power
• through 15A fuse (No. 56, located in IPDM E/R)

CAUTION:
If CONSULT-III is used with no connection of CONSULT-III CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication. 
1. Connect CONSULT-III, and select “COMB SW” on “SELECT TEST ITEM” screen.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR”.
3. Select “START”, and confirm that other switches in the system operate normally.
Example: When turn signal LH is inoperative, confirm that  PASSING, HEAD LAMP 2 or FRONT FOG (if
equipped) turn ON-OFF normally.
 Without CONSULT-III
Operating combination switch, and confirm that other switches in the system operate normally.
Example: When a turn signal switch is inoperative, confirm that FRONT WIPER LO or FRONT WIPER INT
turn ON-OFF normally.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001704697
• IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relays via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuits.
• IPDM E/R-integrated control circuits perform ON-OFF operation of relays, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal reception, etc.
• It controls operation of each electrical component via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the following lamps:
• Headlamps (High, Low)
• Parking lamps
• Tail and license plate lamps
• Front fog lamps
2. Wiper control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the rear window defogger
relay.
4. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the A/C compressor
(magnet clutch).
5. Starter control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the starter relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the cooling fan relays.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the horn relay.
8. Daytime light system control (Canada only)
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the daytime light relay.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN L-line, CAN
H-line), it is possible to transmit a maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control
• When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication returns to normal operation, it also returns to normal control.
• Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamp• With the ignition switch ON, headlamp low relay is ON, headlamp high relays are OFF, and 
daytime light system (Canada only) is OFF. 
• With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp relays are OFF. 
Tail, license plate and parking lamps • With the ignition switch ON, the tail lamp relay is ON. 
• With the ignition switch OFF, the tail lamp relay is OFF. 
Cooling fan• With the ignition switch ON, cooling fan relay-1, relay-2, and relay-3 are ON.
• With the ignition switch OFF, all cooling fan relays are OFF.
Front wiperUntil the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper relays remain in the same status they 
were in just before fail−safe control was initiated.
