HEADLAMP
A Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is pa ssed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of Xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color. Following are some of the advantages
of the Xenon type headlamp.
• The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi- tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2ND position and placed in HIGH position,
the BCM receives input requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be
used any time and also sends a signal to the BCM. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU of the combination meter c ontrols the ON/OFF status off the HIGH BEAM indi-
cator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil which supplies power to the high beam
headlamps.
The combination meter receives a high beam request signal (ON) via the CAN communication lines and turns
the high beam indicator lamp ON.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position and the ignition switch is
turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes unless the lighting switch position is
changed. If the lighting switch position is changed, then the headlamps are turned off.
This setting can be changed by CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-22, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM -
HEAD LAMP)".

DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005369869
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146609
The headlamp system for Canada vehicles is equipped with a daytime light relay that activates the high beam
headlamps at approximately half illumination whenever the engine is operating. If the parking brake is applied
before the engine is started the daytime lights will not be illuminated. The daytime lights will illuminate once the
parking brake is released. Thereafter, the daytime lights will continue to operate when the parking brake is
applied.

DAYTIME LIGHT SYSTEM
Component Description
INFOID:0000000005369870
After starting the engine with the parking brake releas ed and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) in the OFF or 1ST position, the headlamp high beam automatically turns on at a reduced intensity.
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position or with autolamps ON, the
headlamps function the same as conventional light systems.
OPERATION
The BCM monitors inputs from the parking brake swit ch and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) to determine when to activate the daytime light system. The BCM sends a daytime light request to the
IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/ R grounds the daytime light relay which in turn, pro-
vides power to the ground side of the LH high beam lamp. Power flows backward through the LH high beam
lamp to the IPDM E/R, through the high beam fuses, through the RH high beam lamp circuit to the RH high
beam lamp and on to ground. The high beam lamps are wired in series which causes them to illuminate at a
reduced intensity.

Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146615
AUTO LIGHT OPERATION
The auto light system operates t he low beam and high beam headlamps, parking lamps, tail lamps and license
plate lamps. The BCM monitors the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) position as a part of
the BCM combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) reading function. When the combination switch
(lighting and turn signal switch) is in the AUTO position, the BCM automatically turns the lamps ON/OFF
according to ambient light brightness.
NOTE:
Timing for when lamps turn ON/OFF can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-22,
"HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".
