FRONT FOG LAMP SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006213907
OUTLINE
Front fog lamp is controlled by combination switch r eading function and front fog lamp control function of BCM,
and relay control function of IPDM E/R.
FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM transmits the front fog lights request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication according to the front
fog lamp ON condition.
Front fog lamp ON condition- Front fog lamp switch ON and any of the followings. (except for the high beam ON)
 Lighting switch 2ND
 Lighting switch AUTO (auto light function ON judgment)
IPDM E/R turns the integrated front fog lamp relay ON, and turns the front fog lamp ON according to the front
fog lights request signal.
FRONT FOG LAMP SYSTEM : Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000006422123
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
When CAN communication with ECM and BCM is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After CAN
communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVE R SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006213909
OUTLINE
 Exterior lamp battery saver system is c ontrolled by each function of BCM and IPDM E/R.
Control by BCM
- Combination switch reading function
- Headlamp control function
- Exterior lamp battery saver function
Control by IPDM E/R
- Relay control function
 BCM turns the exterior lamp* OFF after a period of ti me to prevent the battery from over-discharge when the
ignition switch is turned OFF with the exterior lamp ON.
*: Headlamp (LO/HI), parking lamp, tail lamp, side marker lamp, license plate lamp and front fog lamp
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER ACTIVATION
BCM activates the timer and turns the exterior lamp OFF 5 minutes after the ignition switch is turned from ON
→ OFF with the exterior lamps ON.
NOTE:
 Headlamp control function turns the exterior lamps ON normally when the ignition switch is turned ACC or
the engine started (both before and after the exte rior lamp battery saver is turned OFF).
 The timer starts at the time that the lighting switch is turned from OFF → 1ST or 2ND with the exterior lamp
OFF.

SWITCH POSITIONS
Switches are shown in wiring diagrams as if the vehicle is in the “normal” condition.
A vehicle is in the “normal” condition when:
 ignition switch is “OFF”,
 doors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
 pedals are not depressed, and
 parking brake is released.
MULTIPLE SWITCH
The continuity of multiple switch is described in two ways as shown below.
 The switch chart is used in schematic diagrams.
9 Shielded line  The line enclosed by broken line circle shows shield wire.
10 Connectors  This means that a transmission line bypasses two connectors or more.
11 Option abbreviation  This means the vehicle specifications which layouts the circuit between “ ”.
12 Relay  This shows an internal representation of the relay.
13 Optional splice  The open circle shows that the splice is optional depending on vehicle application.
14 Splice  The shaded circle “ ” means the splice.
15 System branch  This shows that the circuit is branched to other systems.
16 Page crossing  This circuit continues to an adjacent page.
17 Component name  This shows the name of a component.
18 Terminal number  This means the terminal number of a connector.
19 Ground (GND)  This shows the ground connection.

lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the c onditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics: Vehicle vibration
 Heat sensitive
 Freezing
 Water intrusion
 Electrical load
 Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer . It is important for simulating the conditions of the
problem.
VEHICLE VIBRATION
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle with
A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the following illustra-
tion.
Connector & Harness
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting. Gently
shake each connector and harness while monitoring the syst em for the incident you are trying to duplicate.
This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
Hint
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the connector termi-
nals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs inter-
mittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosi on. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean the
terminals on related connectors in the system.
Sensor & Relay
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
Engine Compartment
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some of the
things to check for are:
 Connectors not fully seated.
 Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
 Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
 Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
 Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifyi ng the integrity of ground connections. (Refer to Ground
Inspection described later.) First check that the syst em is properly grounded. Then check for loose connection
by gently shaking the wiring or components as previous ly explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the
wiring for continuity.
Behind the Instrument Panel
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory installation. Vehi-
cle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.
