System Description
Control of the headlamp system is dependent upon the position of the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch). When the lighting 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) across the CAN communication lines. The CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high and headlamp low relay coils. When energized, these relays direct power to the respective headlamps, which then illuminate.

Component Description
XENON HEADLAMP
A Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead, they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture of Xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Following are some of the many advantages of the Xenon-type headlamp.
This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle for added visibility.
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION
With the lighting 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 across the CAN communication lines. The CPU of the combination meter controls the ON/OFF status of the HIGH BEAM indicator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil which directs power to the high beam headlamps.
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. Refer to EXL-28, "BATTERY SAVER : CONSULT Function (BCM - BATTERY SAVER)".
Daytime running light system

System Description
The headlamp system for Canada vehicles is equipped with a daytime light
relay that activates the high beam headlamps at approximately half
illumination whenever the engine is running. If the parking brake is
depressed before the engine is started, the day ...
