Discharge Headlight Control Module Reuse
- If the discharge headlight control module is dented or damaged in any way, replace the module with a new one to prevent electrical shock and improper operation.
- Although the control module may temporarily operate normally even though it has received an impact, it is possible that the interior may have been damaged. When reusing the control module, inspect the following items regarding discharge headlight illumination to verify that there are no malfunctions. Verify that the discharge headlights illuminate normally by testing them several times under cold illumination (headlights off for approx. 10 min or more and then turned on) and hot illumination (headlights on for approx. 15 min or more, turned off for approx. 1 min, and then turned on again) conditions. Inspect the headlight illumination in the period from directly after cold illumination until they are uniformly illuminated (approx. 5 min) and verify that there is no flickering or inconsistent brightness. Turn on the headlights for approx. 30 min with normal condition bulbs and verify that there is no brightness difference between the right and left, and that illumination is consistent.
Discharge type
| WARNING | Incorrect servicing of the discharge headlights could result in electrical shock. Before servicing the discharge headlights, always refer to the discharge headlight service warnings. (See DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT SERVICE WARNINGS .) |

- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the coolant reserve tank. (RH only) (See «COOLANT RESERVE TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7]»(ref-663017-S32179853902014101600000) article.)
- Rotate the cover in the direction of the arrow (1) shown in the figure and remove it from the front combination light in the direction of the arrow (2) shown in the figure.
- Rotate the igniter in the direction of the arrow (3) shown in the figure and remove it from the front combination light in the direction of the arrow (4) shown in the figure.
- Move section A of the bulb retaining wire in the direction of the arrow (5) shown in the figure, pull it in the direction of the arrow (6) shown in the figure, and detach the bulb retaining wire and hook.
- Remove the HO/LO bulb. CAUTION: The discharge headlight bulb generates extremely high heat when it is illuminated. If the surface of the bulb is soiled, excessive heat will build up and the life of the bulb will be shortened. When replacing the bulb, hold the metal flange, not the glass.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
HEADLIGHT AIMING
Note. The reflectors for the low and high beams are an integrated unit. Therefore, perform the headlight aiming adjustment on either the low or high beam.

- Point the headlight beams to a wall and verify that the headlight beams are as shown in the illustration below.
- Make a screen as shown in the illustration below using double-weight, white paper.
- Adjust the tire pressure to the specification.
- Position the unloaded vehicle on a flat, level surface.
- Seat one person in the driver's seat.
- Line up the vehicle with the wall so that the center of the headlight is 3 m {9.8 ft} away from the wall.
- Measure the height at the center of the headlight. NOTE: Since the height of the vehicle varies depending on the vehicle situation, measure the height of the center of the headlight using the actual vehicle.
- Align the center of the headlight with the center of the screen.
- Block the light of the other headlight using a partition.
- Start the engine and charge the battery.
- Turn on the headlight low beams.

AUTO LIGHT ILLUMINATION LEVEL SETTING
- Connect the M-MDS (IDS) to the DLC-2.
- After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the IDS. Select "Module Programming".
- Then, select items from the screen menu in the following order. Select "Programmable Parameters". Select "Exterior Lighting". Select "Autolamp On Setting".
- Select "Standard (Other)" or "Low (Other)" on the M-MDS to set the illumination level. NOTE: When the M-MDS is set to Low (Other), the auto-light sensor sensitivity decreases, and the TNS and headlight illumination timing is slower.
- Perform the procedure as indicated on the screen.
- Perform the auto light/wiper control module configuration. (See «AUTO LIGHT/WIPER CONTROL MODULE CONFIGURATION»(ref-663026-S06086071672014101600000) .) CAUTION: Perform the auto light/wiper control module configuration after updating the auto light illumination level to assure that the auto light/wiper system operates correctly.
