Each illumination lamp is controlled by each function of BCM, IPDM E/R and combination meter.
Control by BCM Combination switch reading function
 Headlamp control function
Control by IPDM E/R Relay control function
Control by combination meter Meter illumination control function (Refer to MWI-16, "METER ILLUMINATION CONTROL : System Descrip-
tion".)
ILLUMINATION CONTROL
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM transmits position light request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter according to tail lamp ON
condition.
Tail lamp ON condition- Lighting switch 1ST
- Lighting switch 2ND
- Lighting switch AUTO, and the auto light function ON judgment
- Lighting switch AUTO, with the front fog lamp switch ON and the ignition switch ON
 IPDM E/R turns the integrated tail lamp relay ON acco rding to position light request signal. It provides the
power supply to each illumination lamp.
 Combination meter enters in the nighttime mode accord ing to position light request signal. Under the night-
time mode the combination meter controls the illu minance by controlling each illumination lamp (ground
side).

 Auto light adjustment system
AUTO LIGHT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
Description
 BCM supplies voltage to the optical sensor when the ignition switch is turned ON or ACC.
 Optical sensor converts outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to BCM.
 BCM judges dimming/brightening of combination meter and display according to brightness outside the vehi- cle, when ignition switch is ON.
 BCM transmits dimmer signal to combination meter via CAN communication, according to auto light adjust- ment conditions. Dimmer signal is also transmitted to AV control unit.
NOTE:
As to dimming/brightening timing, the sensitivity depends on settings. The settings can be changed with CON-
SULT-III. Refer to EXL-23, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III F unction (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".
Auto Light Adjustment Timing Table
When the ignition switch is ON, the illumination of co mbination meter and display switches dimming/brighten-
ing in the following condition.
BCM switches the illumination of combination me ter and display to dimming when outside brightening
obtained from the optical sensor signal is 1250 lx or le ss for 3 seconds or more. And BCM switches the illumi-
nation of combination meter and display to brightening when outside brightening from the optical sensor signal
is 2500 lx or more for 5 seconds or more.

Combination meter and display Dimming/brightening timing
Dimming Outside brightness is 1250 lx or less for 3 seconds or more.
Brightening Outside brightness is 2500 lx or more for 5 seconds or more.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Condition of Error DetectionINFOID:0000000006220517
DTC of CAN communication is indicated on SELF-DIA
G RESULTS on CONSULT-III if a CAN communication
signal is not transmitted or received between units for 2 seconds or more.
NOTE:
DTCs of CAN communication are as follows:
 U0101
 U0140
 U0164
 U1000
 U1001
 U1507
 U1508
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ERROR
 CAN communication line open (CAN-H, CAN-L, or both)
 CAN communication line short (ground, betw een CAN communication lines, other harnesses)
 Error of CAN communication control circuit of the unit connected to CAN communication line
WHEN DTC OF CAN COMMUNICATION IS I NDICATED EVEN THOUGH CAN COMMUNICATION
SYSTEM IS NORMAL
 Removal/installation of parts: Error may be detec ted when removing and installing CAN communication unit
and related parts while turning the ignition switch ON. (A DTC except for CAN communication may be
detected.)
 Fuse blown out (removed): CAN communication of the unit may cease.
 Voltage drop: Error may be detected if voltage drops due to discharged battery when turning the ignition
switch ON (Depending on the control unit which carries out CAN communication).
 Error may be detected if the power supply circuit of the control unit, which carries out CAN communication,
malfunctions (Depending on the control unit which carries out CAN communication).
 Error may be detected if reprogramming is not completed normally.
CAUTION:
CAN communication system is normal if DTC of CAN communication is indicated on SELF-DIAG
RESULTS of CONSULT-III under th e above conditions. Erase the memo ry of the self-diagnosis of each
unit.
Symptom When Error Occurs in CAN Communication SystemINFOID:0000000006220518
In CAN communication system, multiple units mutually transmit and receive signals. Each unit cannot transmit
and receive signals if any error occurs on CAN communicati on line. Under this condition, multiple control units
related to the root cause malfunction or go into fail-safe mode.
ERROR EXAMPLE
NOTE:
 Each vehicle differs in symptom of each unit under fail-safe mode and CAN communication line wiring.
 Refer to LAN-23, "
Abbreviation List" for the unit abbreviation.
