HEADLAMP (HI) CIRCUIT
HEADLAMP (HI) CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005370270
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) controls the headlamp LH high and head-
lamp RH high relays based on inputs from the BCM via the CAN communication lines. When the headlamp LH
high and headlamp RH high relays are energized, power flows through fuse\
s 34 and 35, located in the IPDM
E/R. Power then flows to the front combination lamps to the headlamp high beam.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000005146640
1.CHECK HEADLAMP (HI) OPERATION
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Start IPDM E/R auto active test. Refer to PCS-12, "
Diagnosis Description".
2. Check that the headlamp switches to the high beam. NOTE:
HI/LO is repeated 1 second each when usi ng the IPDM E/R auto active test.
CONSULT-III
1. Select "EXTERNAL LAMPS" of IPDM E/R active test item.
2. With the test item operating, check that the headlamp switches to high beam.
Does the headlamp switch to high beam?
YES >> Headlamp (HI) circuit is normal.
NO >> Refer to EXL-30, "
Diagnosis Procedure - Without Daytime Light System", EXL-31, "Diagnosis
Procedure - With Daytime Light System".

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to EXL-52, "Wiring Diagram".
1.CHECK HEADLAMP (HI) FUSES
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Check that the following fuses are not open.
Is the fuse open?
YES >> Repair the harness and replace the fuse.
NO >> GO TO 2.

5. With the high beam headlamps ON, check the voltage between the combination lamp connector and ground.
Are the voltage readings as specified?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK HEADLAMP (HI) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect IPDM E/R connector E123.
3. Check continuity between the IPDM E/R harness connector (A) and the front combination lamp harness connector (B).
Does continuity exist?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Repair the harnesses or connectors.
4.CHECK FRONT COMBINATION LAMP (HI) GROUND CIRCUIT
Check continuity between the front combination lamp harness con-
nector terminal and ground.
Does continuity exist?
YES >> Inspect the headlamp bulb.
NO - RH>>Repair the harness.
NO - LH >>Inspect daytime light rela y. If OK, repair harness. If NG,
replace the daytime light relay.
