Component Description

HEADLAMP (HALOGEN TYPE)

Component Description


LOW BEAM OPERATION

When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in 2ND position, the BCM receives input requesting the headlamps to illuminate. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp low relay coil which supplies power to the low beam headlamps.

HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION

With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2ND position and placed in HIGH position, the BCM receives input requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be used any time and also sends a signal to the BCM. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU of the combination meter controls the ON/OFF status off the HIGH BEAM indicator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil which supplies power to the high beam headlamps.
The combination meter receives a high beam request signal (ON) via the CAN communication lines and turns the high beam indicator lamp ON.

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL

With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2ND position and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes unless the lighting switch position is changed. If the lighting switch position is changed, then the headlamps are turned off.
This setting can be changed by CONSULT. Battery Saver.
