LIGHTING SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

    When the light control switch is in the AUTO position, the automatic light control sensor detects ambient light levels and outputs a signal to the main body ECU (network gateway ECU). The main body ECU (network gateway ECU) controls the low beam headlights, clearance lights, taillights and license plate lights.
