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.

HEADLAMP SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006213895
OUTLINE
Headlamp is controlled by combination switch r
eading function and headlamp control function of BCM, and
relay control function of IPDM E/R.
HEADLAMP (LO) OPERATION
BCM detects the combination switch conditi on with the combination switch reading function.
BCM transmits the low beam request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication according to the head-
lamp (LO) ON condition.
Headlamp (LO) ON condition- Lighting switch 2ND
- Lighting switch AUTO (auto light function ON judgment)
- Lighting switch AUTO, with the front fog la mp switch ON and the ignition switch ON
- Lighting switch PASS
IPDM E/R turns the integrated headlamp low relay ON , and turns the headlamp ON according to the low
beam request signal.
HEADLAMP (HI) OPERATION
BCM transmits the high beam request signal to IPDM E/R and the combination meter via CAN communica- tion according to the headlamp (HI) ON condition.
Headlamp (HI) ON condition
- Lighting switch HI with the lighting switch 2ND or AUTO (auto light function ON judgment)
- Lighting switch PASS
- Lighting switch AUTO, with the front fog lamp swit ch ON, the ignition switch ON and lighting switch HI
Combination meter turns the high beam indicator lamp ON according to the high beam request signal.
IPDM E/R turns the integrated headlamp high relay ON , and turns the headlamp ON according to the high
beam request signal.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM : Fail-safeINFOID:0000000006213896
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
When CAN communication with BCM is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control. After CAN communi-
cation recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.

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.

Aiming Adjustment Procedure
INFOID:0000000006369513
1. Place the screen. NOTE:
Stop the vehicle facing the wall.
Place the board on a plain road vertically.
2. Face the vehicle with the screen. Maintain 10 m (32.8 ft) between the headlamp center and the screen.
3. Start the engine. Turn the headlamp (LO) ON. NOTE:
Shut off the headlamp light with the board to prevent from illuminating the adjustment screen.
CAUTION:
Never cover the lens surface with a tape etc. The lens is made of resin.
4. Measure the distance (X) between the horizontal cent er line of headlamp (H) and the cutoff line (A) within
the light axis measurement range (R) from the vertical center line ahead of headlamp (V).
Low beam distribution on the screen
5. Adjust the cutoff line height (X) with the aiming adjus tment screw so as to enter in the adjustment range
(M–N) according to the horizontal center line of headlamp (H).
