SECTION 12B - LIGHTING SYSTEM

IMPORTANT

Before performing any Service Operation or other procedure described in this Section, refer to

Section 00 CAUTIONS AND NOTES for correct workshop practices with regard to safety and/or

property damage.

1. GENERAL DESCRI PTI O N

The front lamp assemblies on WH Series models comprise a semi-sealed headlamp and a turn signal lamp and a

parking lamp.

The parking lamp is incorporated in the headlamp assembly and the turn signal assembly is next to the headlamp

assembly.

The headlamp features a dual pocket reflector, quartz halogen bulbs and a parking lamp bulb. The reflector is of

homofocal design, with both inner and outer pockets used for high beam.

The turn signal lamp has a clear appearance lens. The illumination bulb has a orange coloured glass and has offset

locating pins on its base.

Fitted into each front fender, is a turn signal side repeater lamp assembly.

Fog / Cornering lamp assemblies are fitted to the front bumper bar assembly as standard equipment.

The fog lamps are controlled by a switch assembly located in the instrument facia, below the headlamp switch.

The fog lamps operate when the headlamps are switched on and the fog lamp switch button depressed. If the

headlamps are operating on high beam, switching on the fog lamps turns the headlamp low beam off. If the

headlamps are on low beam, they remain on when the fog lamps are switched on.

The cornering lamps operate individually and are operated by the indicator switch and only when either the

headlamps or the park lamps are turned on.

All WH vehicles have a rear quarter lamp housing with stop/tail and turn signal bulbs. The turn signal bulb glass is

coloured orange and has offset locating pins. The orange coloured bulb glass provides the amber light behind the

clear lens of the lamp. Also, different rear quarter lamp harnesses with specific bulb sockets are used for each type

of bulb locating pin style.

The rear compartment lid is provided with separate lamps including; back-up lamp bulb and an additional tail lamp

bulb and rear licence plate lamps. The licence plate lamps are located in the rear compartment lid decor panel,

above the licence plate.

All vehicles are fitted with hazard warning flashers, which are operated by a switch in the instrument facia, located

below the air outlets.

All vehicles are fitted with courtesy lamps in the passenger compartment (dome lamp), ignition lock and glove

compartment. Additional interior lighting is provided by courtesy lamps in door trims, front and rear footwells, rear

compartment, front reading lamp assemblies, rear reading lamps and console bin lamp.

Operation of the parking/tail and headlamps is controlled by a headlamp switch located in the instrument facia, to

the right of the steering wheel. Headlamp high beam or headlamp flash control is by the headlamp and turn signal

control switch stalk to the right of the steering column.

Various relays, located in the engine compartment relay housing and passenger compartment fuse panel, are used

for headlamp, hazard warning, turn signals and fog lamp control.

Turn signal control is by the headlamp and turn signal control switch stalk to the right of the steering column.

Stop lamps operation is controlled by a stop lamp switch fitted into a tubular clip in the brake pedal support.

Back-up lamp operation is controlled by the neutral start/back-up lamp switch which is attached to the side of the

gearshift assembly on the automatic transmission, beneath the console cap.

The WH Series models are fitted with a High Series Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM provides additional

lighting system enhancements. These features are:

1. Automatic Lights Off.

This system deactivates the head and parking/tail lamps when the ignition has been switched from on to off and the

driver’s door is opened. The lamps switch back on when the ignition is switched on, if the headlamps switch is still

turned on. An adjustable time delay can be applied before the headlamps are automatically switched off.

Techline

2. Dome Lamp Delay.

Additional control of the dome lamp operation by the BCM allows for 30 second delay period to turn the dome lamp

off after all doors are closed. Should the dome lamp be left on by the dome lamp switch, and with ignition off, the

BCM will turn off the dome lamp after a maximum period of two hours to prevent battery drain.

3. Instrument Dimming Control.

Incorporated in the headlamp switch assembly is a control for variable instrument cluster illumination intensity.

4. Rear Lamp Failure Warning.

This system checks for bulb or fuse failure associated with the stop or tail lamps including the high level stop lamp.

For additional information on these systems, including diagnostics, refer Section 12J - BODY CONTROL

MODULES of this Service Information CD.

2. SERVICE OPERATIONS

2.1 AIMING OF HEADLAMPS AND FOG LAMPS

The headlamps and fog lamps must be correctly

aimed in order to obtain the maximum road

illumination and safety that has been built into the

vehicle lighting system. The headlamps and fog

lamp s m us t be chec ked for co rr ec t aim whenever a

bulb or headlamp/fog lamp assembly is replaced,

and after any adjustments or repairs to the front

end sheet metal.

Headlamp aiming machines are in general use.

When using one of these machines, ensure that it

is in good condition and carefully follow the

instructions of the manufacturer.

Regardless of the method used for checking

headlamp and fog lam p aim, the vehic le must be at

kerb weight, that is, with fuel, oil, water and spare

tyre but no passengers. The tyres must be

uniformly inflated to their specified pressure.

NOTE: If the vehic le will regular ly carr y an unus ual

load in the rear com partm ent or tow a trailer, these

loads should be on the vehicle when the

headlamps/fog lamps are checked.

HEADLAMP AIM

1. If suitable test equipment is not available, set

up a screen or use vertical wall, in conjunction

with a flat horizontal floor. Park vehicle

immediately in front of screen and mark

horizontal (1) and ver tical centre lines of left ( 2)

and right (4) headlamps, and vehicle centre line

(3) on the screen or wall.

2. Park vehicle 10 metres in front of screen or

wall ensuring the vehicle is aligned with vehicle

centre line mark on screen.

WH12B001

3. Individually aim each headlamp to a point (1)

on its vertical centre line, 110 mm below the

headlamp horizontal centre line. Item 2 is the

cut-off line.
