EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the combination switch (lighting switch) is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is acti-
vated), and the ignition switch is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, the illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then the illumination lamps are
turned off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by the battery saver control, the illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionEKS00BN2

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 relays via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuits.

IPDM E/R-integrated control circuits perform ON-OFF operation of relays, CAN communication control,
etc.

It controls operation of each electrical component 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
1. Lamp control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the following lamps:

Headlamps (Hi, Lo)

Parking lamps

Tail and license lamps

Front fog lamps
2. Wiper control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the rear window defogger
relay.
4. A/C compressor control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the A/C compressor
(magnetic clutch).
5. Starter control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the starter relay.
6. Cooling fan control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the cooling fan relays.
7. Horn control Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the horn relay.
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 a maximum amount of information with minimum wiring. Each control unit can
transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control

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

Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
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.
Tail and parking lamps

With the ignition switch ON, the tail and parking lamps are ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the tail and parking lamps are 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

Auto Active TestEKS00BN6
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
–Tail and parking lamps
–Front fog lamps
–Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
–A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
–Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door RH, and 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 front door switch LH 10 times. 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.
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 perform BL-92, "
Door Switch Check" when the auto active test cannot be performed.
INSPECTION IN AUTO ACTIVE TEST MODE

When auto active test mode is actuated, the following seven steps are repeated three times.
Lamp (HI, LO, TAIL, FOG)
output EXTERNAL LAMPS
With a certain operation (OFF, HI ON, LO ON, TAIL ON, FOG ON), the
lamp relay (Low, High, Tail, Fog) can be operated.
Cornering lamp output CORNERING LAMP —
Horn output HORN With a certain ON-OFF operation, the horn relay can be operated.

Concept of Auto Active Test

IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it receives door switch signal from BCM via CAN commu-
nication line. Therefore, when auto active test mode is activated successfully, CAN communication
between IPDM E/R and BCM is normal.

If any of the systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated, possible cause can be easily diagnosed
using auto active test.

Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System TesterEKS00B7J
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and generator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.
1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
2. Perform battery and starting system test with Battery/Starting/
Charging system tester.
3. Press “ENTER” to begin the charging system test.
4. Start engine.
5. Press “ENTER” until “LOADS OFF REV ENGINE 5 SEC ” is dis-
played.
6. Raise and hold the engine speed at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm for about 5 seconds, then return the engine to idle.
Once the increase in engine rpm is detected, press “ENTER” to
continue.
NOTE:

If after 30 seconds an increase in engine idle speed is not
detected, “RPM NOT DETECTED” will display.

Some engines may have a higher idle initially after starting,
particularly when the engine is cold. The tester may detect
this without any other action being taken. If this occurs, con-
tinue on with the testing process. The final results will not be affected.
7. The tester now checks the engine at idle and performs the DIODE/RIPPLE check.
8. When complete, the tester will prompt you to turn on the follow- ing electrical loads.

Heater fan set to highest speed. Do not run the A/C or wind-
shield defroster.

Headlamp high beam

Rear window defogger
NOTE:
Do not run the windshield wipers or any other cyclical loads.
9. Press “ENTER” to continue.
