System Description

EKS009M2

Control of the parking, front side marker, license plate, and tail lamp operation is dependent upon the position
of the lighting switch (combination switch). When the lighting switch is placed in the 1ST position, the BCM
(body control module) receives input signal requesting the parking, front side marker, license plate and tail
lamps to 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 con-
trols the tail lamp relay coil. This relay, when energized, directs power to the parking, front side marker, license
plate and tail lamps, which then illuminate.
Power is supplied at all times

●

to tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

●

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

●

to CPU in the IPDM E/R, and

●

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

●

through 50A fusible link (letter g , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

●

to BCM terminal 70.

With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

●

through 10A fuse [No. 1, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

●

to BCM terminal 38 and

●

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R.

Ground is supplied

●

to BCM terminal 67

●

through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and

●

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

●

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.

OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH

With the lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if the auto light system is activated), the BCM receives
input signal requesting the parking, front side marker, license plate and tail lamps to illuminate. This input sig-
nal is communicated to the IPDM E/R across the CAN communication lines. The CPU in the IPDM E/R con-
trols the tail lamp relay coil, which when energized, directs power

●

through 10A fuse (No. 37, located in the IPDM E/R)

●

through IPDM E/R terminal 57

●

to license plate lamp LH and RH terminal 1

●

to rear combination lamp LH and RH (tail/side marker) terminal 1, and

●

through 10A fuse (No. 36, located in the IPDM E/R)

●

through IPDM E/R terminals 28 and 49

●

to front side marker lamp LH and RH terminal 1

●

to front parking lamp LH and RH terminal 2.

Ground is supplied

●

to front side marker lamp LH and RH terminal 2

●

to front parking lamp LH and RH terminal 3

●

through grounds E9, E15 and E24, and

●

to license plate lamp LH and RH terminal 2

●

through grounds D406 and D504, and

●

to rear combination lamp LH (tail/side marker) terminal 5

●

through grounds B7 and B19, and

●

to rear combination lamp RH (tail/side marker) terminal 5

●

through grounds B117 and B132.

With power and ground supplied, the parking, side marker, license plate and tail lamps illuminate.

COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION

Refer to

LT-92, "Combination Switch Reading Function"

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL

When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST (or 2ND) position, and the ignition switch is turned
from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control feature is activated.
Under this condition, the parking, front side marker, license and tail lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes,
then the parking, front side marker, license plate and tail lamps are turned off.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.
