FRONT COMBINATION LAMP : HID control unitINFOID:0000000006213890
Headlamp (LO) circuit is connected to HID control unit integrated in the headlamp. Headlamp (LO) circuit turns
xenon headlamp ON.
For the details of HID control unit and the xenon headlamp, refer to EXL-8, "
FRONT COMBINATION LAMP :
Xenon Headlamp".
FRONT COMBINATION LAMP : High Beam SolenoidINFOID:0000000006213891
The high beam solenoid drives the mobile valve shade. And the mobile valve shade switches the high beam
and low beam of headlamp.
 When the headlamp high relay is turned ON, magnetic force is applied to the high beam solenoid (1) by a current. The mobile
valve shade (2) is switched to the high beam position.
 When the headlamp high relay is turned OFF, the current stops.
The mobile valve shade returns to the low beam position automati-
cally.
FRONT COMBINATION LAMP : Aiming MotorINFOID:0000000006213892
The headlamp levelizer adjusts the headlamp light axis upward and downward with the aiming motor inte-
grated in the front combination lamp.
FRONT COMBINATION LAMP : Swivel ActuatorINFOID:0000000006213893
SWIVEL ACTUATOR
The swivel actuator is installed in the headlamp unit. T he swivel actuator consists of the swivel motor and the
swivel position sensor.
SWIVEL MOTOR
 The swivel motor is the two-phase step motor.
 The swivel motor drives headlamp by exciting the two dr ive coils according to the drive signal from AFS con-
trol unit.
 The rotation direction of the swivel motor is changeable by changing the exciting pattern.
SWIVEL POSITION SENSOR
The swivel position sensor detects the headlamp swivel angle to transmit t he swivel position sensor signal to
AFS control unit.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (IPDM E/R)
Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000006368066
AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test, the IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the following systems to check their operation.
 Oil pressure warning lamp
 Rear window defogger
 Front wiper (LO, HI)
 Parking lamp
 License plate lamp
 Tail lamp
 Side marker lamp
 Front fog lamp
 Headlamp (LO, HI)
 A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Operation Procedure
CAUTION:
Never perform auto active test in the following conditions.
 Engine is running.
 CONSULT-III is connected.
1. Close the hood and lift the wiper arms from the windshield. (Prevent windshield damage due to wiper
operation)
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, pr ess the driver door switch 10 times. Then turn the
ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Close passenger door.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
CAUTION:
Engine starts when ignition switch is turned ON while brake pedal is depressed.
5. The oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking when the auto active test starts.
6. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
 When auto active test has to be cancelled halfw ay through test, turn the ignition switch OFF.
 When auto active test is not activated, door swit ch may be the cause. Check door switch. Refer to DLK-117,
"ComponentFunctionCheck".
Inspection in Auto Active Test
When auto active test is actuated, the following operation sequence is repeated 3 times.
Operation
sequence Inspection location Operation
1 Oil pressure warning lamp Blinks continuously during operation of auto active test
2 Rear window defogger 10 seconds
3 Front wiper LO for 5 seconds → HI for 5 seconds
