IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionNKS003GB

IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relay via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuit.

IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal, and hood switch signal reception, etc.

It controls operation of each electrical part via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R receives a request signal from each control unit with CAN communication. It controls each system.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN L line, CAN H
line), it is possible to transmit maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
Fail- Safe Control

When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe control.
After CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.

Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
Control system Transmit control unit Control part
Lamp control BCM

Headlamps (HI, LO)

Front fog lamps

Parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps
Wiper control BCM Front wipers
Rear window defogger control BCM Rear window defogger
A/C compressor control ECM A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Cooling fan control ECM Cooling fan
Horn control BCM Horn
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamp

With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp (low) is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp (low) is OFF.
Parking, license plate side marker and
tail lamps

With the ignition switch ON, the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps is OFF.
Cooling fan

With the ignition switch ON, the cooling fan HI operates.

With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
Front wiper Until the ignition switch is turned OFF, the front wiper LO and HI remains in the same status
it was in just before fail-safe control was initiated.
Rear window defogger Rear window defogger relay OFF
A/C compressor A/C compressor OFF
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp relay OFF

Auto Active TestNKS003GG
DESCRIPTION
In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the
following systems:

Rear window defogger

Front wipers

Parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps

Front fog lamps

Headlamps (Hi, Lo)

A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)

Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door (passenger side), and then lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent glass damage by wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press drivers door switch 10 times (close other doors). Then turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking.
6. After a series of operations is repeated three times, auto active test is completed. NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Be sure to inspect BL-40, "
Check Door Switch" when the auto active test cannot be performed.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelNGS000BT

Stop engine before performing a fluid level check.

Ensure that fluid level is between the MAX range and MIN level.

Because fluid level differs within the HOT range and the COLD
range, check it carefully.
CAUTION:

Do not overfill the Max level.

Do not reuse any used power steering fluid.
Checking Fluid LeakageNGS000BU
Check the hydraulic piping lines for improper attachment and for
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50 to 80 ° C (122 to
176 °F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not over tighten con- nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to PS-30, "
POWER STEERING OIL
PUMP" .
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating a from steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemNGS000BV
Incomplete air bleeding causes the following. When this happens, bleed air again.

Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank.

Generation of clicking noise in oil pump.

Excessive buzzing in oil pump.
NOTE:
When vehicle is stationary or while steering wheel is being turned slowly, some noise may be heard from
oil pump or gear. This noise is normal and does not affect any system.
1. Stop engine, and then turn steering wheel fully to right and left several times. CAUTION:
Do not allow steering fluid reservoir tank to go below the low-level line. Check tank frequently and
add fluid as needed.
2. Run engine at idle speed. Turn steering wheel fully to the right and then fully to the left, and keep for about three seconds. Then check whether a fluid leakage has occurred.
3. Repeat the 2nd procedure several times at about three seconds intervals. CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in the locked position more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility
that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check generation of air bubbles and cloud in fluid.
5. If air bubbles and the cloud don't fade, stop engine, hold air bleeding until air bubbles and the cloud fade. Perform the 2nd and the 3rd procedures again. HOT : Fluid temperatures from 50 to 80
°C (122 to
176 °F)
COLD : Fluid temperatures from 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F)

STEERING WHEEL
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
STEERING WHEELPFP:48430
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNGS000BW
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check if the mounting bolts for steering gear assembly are loose
or not. Refer to PS-18, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINK-
AGE" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Set tires to the straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and mea-
sure steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point
where tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
1. Set vehicle to the straight direction, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot adjust in the two teeth of steering gear assembly, loosen outer socket lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust outer socket by the same amount in the opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to adequate operating temperature. [Make sure temperature of fluid is approximately 50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F).]
NOTE:
Tires need to be inflated normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from neutral position.
NOTE:
Multiply the distance L from the hook of spring balance to the
center of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring
balance.
5. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check rack sliding force and relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump.
Regarding relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump, refer to PS-30,
"On-Vehicle Inspection and Service" .
a. Disconnect lower joint and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to PS-13, "
COMPO-
NENTS" , FAX-4, "COMPONENTS" , FA X - 1 0 , "COMPONENTS" .
