System Description
INFOID:0000000005274705
The headlamp system for Canada vehicles is equipped with a daytime light control that activates the high
beam headlamps at approximately half illumination whenever the engine is operating. If the parking brake is
applied before the engine is started the daytime lights will not be illuminated. The daytime lights will illuminate
once the parking brake is released. Thereafter, the daytime lights will continue to operate when the parking
brake is applied.
OPERATION
The BCM monitors inputs from the parking brake switch and the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch) to determine when to activate the daytime light system. The BCM sends a daytime light request to the
IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The IPDM E/R grounds the daytime light relay which in turn, pro-
vides power to the ground side of the LH high beam lamp. Power flows backward through the LH high beam
lamp to the IPDM E/R, through the high beam fuses, through the RH high beam lamp circuit to the RH high
beam lamp and on to ground. The high beam lamps are wired in series which causes them to illuminate at a
reduced intensity.
