ILLUMINATION CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005358668
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005358669
The illumination lamps operation is dependent upon the posit ion of the combination switch (lighting and turn
signal switch). When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is placed in the 1ST or 2ND posi-
tion (or if the auto light system is activated) the BCM (body control modul e) receives input requesting the park-
ing lamps to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module
engine room) via the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls
the tail lamp relay coil. When energized, this relay directs power to the parking and illumination lamps, which
then illuminate.
BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal s witch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position and the ignition
switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated. Under this condition,
the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 30 minutes unless the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) position is changed. If the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) position is changed, then
the illumination lamps are turned off after a 30 second delay. When the combination switch (lighting and turn
signal switch) is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after illumination
lamps have been turned off by the battery saver c ontrol, the illumination lamps illuminate again.

ILLUMINATION CONTROL SYSTEM
Component Description
INFOID:0000000005358670
1. BCM M18, M20 (view with instrument lower panel LH removed) 2. IPDM E/R E122, E123, E124 3. Combination switch (lighting and turn
signal switch) M28
4. Combination meter (illumination con- trol switch) M23, M24
Part name Description
BCM The BCM monitors the lighting switch position with the combina-
tion switch reading function. The BCM requests, via CAN com-
munication, that the IPDM E/R activate the tail lamp relay.
IPDM E/R The IPDM E/R activates the tail lamp relay based on inputs re-
ceived from the BCM via the CAN communication network.
Combination meter (illumination control switch) The illumination control switch is a part of the combination meter.
The combination meter controls illumination intensity by varying
ground to the illumination lamps based on the illumination control
switch position.
Combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) The combination switch provides input to the BCM about the light-
ing switch position.

IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
• IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
• If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop posit ion by a front wiper auto stop signal.
When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 second activation and 20 second stop five times.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/R “DATA MONITOR” that displays “Block” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.

• Tail lamps • Turns ON the tail lamp relay when the ignition switch is turned ON
• Turns OFF the tail lamp relay when the ignition switch is turned OFF
Front wiper • The status just before activation of fail-safe control is maintained until the ignition
switch is turned OFF while the front wiper is operating at LO or HI speed.
• The wiper is operated at LO speed until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the fail- safe control is activated while the front wipe r is set in the INT mode and the front wiper
motor is operating.
