FRONT FOG LAMP SYSTEM

System Diagram

INFOID:0000000000955380

System Description

INFOID:0000000000955381

OUTLINE

Front fog lamp is controlled by combination switch reading function and front fog lamp control function of BCM,
and relay control function of IPDM E/R.

FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION 

• BCM detects the combination switch condition by the combination switch reading function.
• BCM transmits the front fog lights request signal to IPDM E/R and the combination meter with CAN commu-

nication according to the front fog lamp ON condition.

Front fog lamp ON condition

- Front fog lamp switch ON
- Lighting switch 1ST, 2ND, or AUTO (ignition switch ON)
• IPDM E/R turns the integrated front fog lamp relay ON, and turns the front fog lamp ON according to the

front fog lights request signal.

• Combination meter turns the front fog lamp indicator lamp ON according to the front fog lights request signal.

Description

BCM

• Detects each switch condition by the combination switch reading function.
• Judges the front fog lamp ON/OFF status according to the vehicle condition. 
- Requests the front fog lamp relay ON to IPDM E/R (with CAN communication). 
- Requests the front fog lamp indicator lamp ON to the combination meter (with CAN 

communication).

IPDM E/R

Controls the integrated relay and supplies voltage to the load according to the request 
from BCM (with CAN communication).

Combination switch

Combination meter
(Front fog lamp indicator lamp)

Turns the front fog lamp indicator lamp ON according to the request from BCM.

HEADLAMP AIMING CONTROL SYSTEM (AUTO)

System Diagram

INFOID:0000000000955384

System Description

INFOID:0000000000955385

OUTLINE

• Headlamp aiming control system is controlled by auto levelizer control unit.
• Auto levelizer control unit controls the headlamp light axis height appropriately depending on the vehicle rear

height.

• Auto levelizer control unit detects the vehicle condition necessary for the aiming motor control with the fol-

lowing signals.

- Sensor lever signal (detected by the sensor lever)
- Tail lamp signal (inputted from IPDM E/R)
- Vehicle speed signal (8-pulse) (inputted from combination meter)

HEADLAMP AUTO AIMING OPERATION

• Auto levelizer control unit calculates vehicle pitch angle from sensor lever signal and determines the neces-

sary correction to compensate the deviation from standard light axis position.

• Auto levelizer control unit outputs aiming motor drive signal when operating conditions are satisfied.

Operating condition

- Headlamp (LO) ON
- Tail lamp ON
• Auto levelizer control unit changes the aiming motor drive signal when any of the correcting condition is

detected. Output is maintained if other condition is detected.

Correcting condition

- Headlamp (LO) is turned ON.
- Vehicle posture becomes stable after the vehicle posture change is detected with the headlamp (LO) ON

and the vehicle stopped.

- Vehicle speed is maintained with the headlamp (LO) ON and the vehicle driven.

CAUTION:

Adjusted axis position may differ from the preset position although the headlamp auto aiming acti-
vates properly when the suspension is replaced or worn.
