DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM

System Description


OUTLINE

- Turns the headlamp high ON (high beam at approximately half illumination) as the daytime running light.
- Daytime running light is controlled by daytime running light control function and combination switch reading function of BCM, and relay control function of IPDM E/R.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OPERATION

- BCM detects the combination switch condition by the combination switch reading function.
- BCM detects the engine condition by the engine status signal received from ECM with CAN communication.
- BCM detects the parking brake condition by the parking brake switch signal received from combination meter with CAN communication.
- BCM transmits the daytime running light request signal to IPDM E/R with CAN communication according to the daytime running light ON condition.
- Engine running
- Lighting switch OFF or 1ST
- Parking brake OFF
- Ignition switch ON
- IPDM E/R controls the daytime running light relay (ground-side) to turn ON according to the daytime running light request signal.
- Power is supplied from the daytime running light relay through headlamp high (RH) and IPDM E/R to headlamp high (LH). And high beam headlamps are illuminated (approximately half illumination) as the daytime running light.
