HEADLAMP (XENON)
HEADLAMP (XENON) : DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463583
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution modul e engine room) controls the headlamp low relay based on
inputs from the BCM over the CAN communication li nes. When the headlamp low relay is energized, power
flows through fuses 36 and 37, located in the IPDM E/R. Power then flows to the front combination lamps to
the headlamp low beam.
