HEADLAMP SYSTEM : System Description

INFOID:0000000010469889

SYSTEM DIAGRAM

OUTLINE

Headlamp is controlled by combination switch reading function and headlamp control function of BCM, and
smart FET control function of IPDM E/R.

HEADLAMP (LO) OPERATION 

• BCM detects the combination switch condition with the combination switch reading function.
• BCM transmits the low beam request signal to IPDM E/R and the combination meter with CAN communica-

tion according to the headlamp (LO) ON condition.

Headlamp (LO) ON condition (When any of the following conditions are satisfied)

- Lighting switch 2ND
- Lighting switch AUTO (Only when the illumination judgment by auto light system is ON. For details, refer to

EXL-192, "AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM : System Description"

.)

- Lighting switch PASS
• IPDM E/R turns the integrated smart FET ON according to low beam request signal and supplies power sup-

ply to headlamp (LO).

• Combination meter turns the dipped beam indicator lamp 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 with CAN communica-

tion according to the headlamp (HI) ON condition. 

Headlamp (HI) ON condition (When any of the following conditions are satisfied)

- Lighting switch HI with the lighting switch 2ND
- Lighting switch HI with the lighting switch AUTO (Only when the illumination judgment by auto light system is

ON. For details, refer to 

EXL-192, "AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM : System Description"

.)

- Lighting switch PASS
• IPDM E/R turns the integrated headlamp high smart FET ON according to high beam request signal and

supplies power supply to headlamp (HI).

• Combination meter turns the high beam indicator lamp ON according to the high beam request signal. 

FOLLOW ME HOME FUNCTION

When the driver is moving to the house entrance from the own vehicle, headlamp is kept still ON by the follow
me home function of BCM.
• When BCM detects the input of lighting switch PASS while all of the following conditions are satisfied, it

transmits the low beam request signal for a period of time to IPDM E/R and the combination meter through
CAN communication.

Follow me home ON condition (When all of the following conditions are satisfied)

- Ignition switch OFF
- Lighting switch OFF or AUTO
• IPDM E/R turns the integrated smart FET ON according to low beam request signal and supplies power sup-

ply to headlamp (LO).

• Combination meter turns the dipped beam indicator lamp ON according to the low beam request signal.
• When in any of following conditions, follow me home function can be cancelled while follow me home func-

tion is operating.

Follow me home OFF condition (When any of the following conditions are satisfied)

- Ignition switch other than OFF
- Lighting switch other than OFF or AUTO
- Follow me home operating time is expired
NOTE:
• Flash-to-pass operation illumination time for 1 time can be extended to approximately 30 seconds during

operation of follow me home function.

• Flash-to-pass operation can be illuminated continuously for approximately 60 seconds (flash-to-pass opera-

tion, 2 times), approximately 90 seconds (flash-to-pass operation, 3 times), and a maximum of approxi-
mately 120 seconds (flash-to-pass operation, 4 times).

HEADLAMP SYSTEM : Fail-safe

INFOID:0000000010469890

FAIL-SAFE CONTROL BY DTC

IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control when any DTC are detected.

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.

If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM

AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM : System Description

INFOID:0000000010469891

SYSTEM DIAGRAM

OUTLINE

•  Auto light system is controlled by each function of BCM and IPDM E/R.

Control by BCM

- Combination switch reading function
- Auto light function
- Fog override function

Control by IPDM E/R

- Smart FET control function
• Auto light system has the auto light function and fog override.
- Auto light function automatically turns ON/OFF the exterior lamps*, depending on the outside brightness.
- Fog override function turns ON the exterior lamps regardless of outside brightness, when front fog lamp

switch is turned from OFF to ON or rear fog lamp switch is turned from OFF to ON while ignition switch is in
ON position and lighting switch is in AUTO position.

*: Headlamp (LO/HI), front fog lamp, rear fog lamp, parking lamp, license plate lamp and tail lamp.
NOTE:
• Headlamp (HI) depend on the combination switch condition.
• Front fog lamp depend on the front fog lamp switch condition (only when the fog override function setting is

OFF). (without rear fog lamp)

• Front fog lamp does not turn ON automatically, but automatically turns OFF (only when the fog override

function setting is OFF). (with rear fog lamp)

• Rear fog lamp does not turn ON automatically, but automatically turns OFF (only when the fog override func-

tion setting is OFF).

AUTO LIGHT FUNCTION

• BCM detects the combination switch condition with the combination switch reading function.
• BCM detects the engine condition by the engine status signal received from ECM via CAN communication.
• BCM receives exterior lamp ON/OFF requests from the light & rain sensor by light & rain sensor serial link.
• BCM judges the ON/OFF status of the exterior lamp according to ON/OFF requests from light & rain sensor

and the vehicle condition.

• BCM transmits each request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication according to ON/OFF condition by

the auto light function.

NOTE:
ON/OFF timing differs based on the sensitivity from the setting. The setting can be set by CONSULT. Refer to

EXL-203, "HEADLAMP : CONSULT Function (BCM - HEAD LAMP) (Halogen Headlamp)"

.

FOG OVERRIDE FUNCTION

When front fog lamp switch is turned from OFF to ON or rear fog lamp switch is turned from OFF to ON while
ignition switch is in ON position and lighting switch is in AUTO position, BCM turns ON exterior lamps* regard-
less of outside brightness.
*: Headlamp (LO/HI), front fog lamp, rear fog lamp, parking lamp, license plate lamp and tail lamp.
