System Description

HEADLAMP (HALOGEN TYPE)


System Description

Control of the headlamp system operation is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch). When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is placed in the 2nd position, the BCM (body control module) receives input requesting the headlamps and park lamps to illuminate.
This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) via the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp LH high, headlamp RH high and headlamp low relay coils. When energized, these relays direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.
