OPERATION
Refer to EXL-9, "HEADLAMP SYSTEM : System Description".
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
• Installation or removal of the connecto r must be done with the lighting switch OFF.
• When the lamp is illuminated (when the lighting switch is ON), do not touch the harness, HID control unit,
inside of the lamp, or the lamp metal parts.
• To check illumination, temporarily install lamp in the vehicle. Be sure to connect power at the vehicle-side
connector.
• If the malfunction can be traced directly to the electrical system, first check for items such as blown fuses
and fusible links, broken wires or loose connectors , pulled-out terminals, and improper connections.
• Do not work with wet hands.
• Using a tester for HID control unit circuit trouble diagnosis is prohibited.
• Disassembling the HID control unit or harnesses (bul b socket harness, ballast harness) is prohibited.
• Immediately after illumination, the light int ensity and color will fluctuate, this is normal.
• When the bulb has reached the end of its lifetime, the br ightness may drop significantly, it may flash repeat-
edly, or the light may turn a reddish color.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000009463587
1.CHECK XENON BULB
Install a known good bulb to the applicable headlamp. Check that the headlamp operates.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace the xenon bulb.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK HID CONTROL UNIT
Install a known good HID control unit to the appl icable headlamp. Check that the headlamp operates.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace HID control unit.
NO >> Inspection End.

DAYTIME LIGHT RELAY CIRCUIT
DAYTIME LIGHT RELAY CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463588
The BCM sends a daytime light request to the IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The power flows
through fuse 43 located in IPDM E/R to the daytime li ght relay coil. When the IPDM E/R operates the daytime
light relay, power is sent to the daytime lamps.

nector E228.
4. Check continuity between the IP DM E/R harness connector E18 and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to PCS-32, "Removal and Installation".
NO >> Repair or replace the harness or connector.
3.CHECK DAYTIME LIGHT RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Check continuity between the IPDM E/R harness connector E201 and the daytime light relay harness
connector E228.
