System Description

AKS007KX

Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting
switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 2ND position, the BCM (body control module) receives input
signal requesting the headlamps (and tail lamps) illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/
R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) across the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central
processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high and headlamp low relay coils. These relays,
when energized, direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate. 
If voltage is applied to a high beam solenoid, the bulb shade will move, even a xenon head lamp bulb comes
out, and a high beam and a low beam are changed.

●

through grounds M14 and M78.

Low Beam Operation

With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM receives input signal requesting the headlamps to illuminate.
This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU in the
IPDM E/R controls the headlamp low relay coil, which when energized, directs power

●

to headlamp LH terminal 4.

Ground is supplied

●

●

through grounds E13, E26 and E28, and

●

to headlamp LH terminal 5

●

through grounds E13, E26 and E28.

With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.

High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation

With the lighting switch in 2ND position and placed in HIGH or PASS position, the BCM receives input signal
requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to the IPDM E/R across
the CAN communication lines. The CPU in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil and low relay
coil, which when energized, directs power

●

through grounds E13, E26 and E28.

With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
If voltage is applied to a high beam solenoid, the bulb shade will move, even a xenon head lamp bulb comes
out, and a high beam and a low beam are changed.
The unified meter and A/C amp that received the high beam request signal by BCM across the CAN commu-
nication makes a high beam indicator lamp turn on in combination meter.

COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION

Refer to 

LT-251, "Combination Switch Reading Function"

 .

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL

When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 2ND position (ON), and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the headlamps are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

AUTO LIGHT OPERATION

Refer to 

LT-140, "System Description"

  in “AUTO LIGHT SYSTEM”.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system will flash the high beams if the system is triggered. Refer to 

BL-142, "VEHICLE

SECURITY (THEFT WARNING) SYSTEM"

 .

XENON HEADLAMP

Xenon type headlamp is adopted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Following are some of the many advantages of the xenon type headlamp.

●

The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.

●

Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.

●

The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sen-
sitive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle, for added visibility.

●

Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.

CAN Communication System Description

AKS007KY

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
