IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionNKS004E2
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 and
oil pressure 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
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication, it receives signal from BCM and controls the following lamps:
Headlamps (HI, LO)
Tail, parking and license plate lamps
Front fog lamps
2. Daytime light relay control (for Canada models)
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the daytime light relay.
3. Wiper control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the front wipers.
4. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the rear window defogger relay.
5. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls the A/C relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls cooling fan via cooling fan control
module.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls horn relay.
8. Starter motor relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls starter motor relay.
9. Alternator control
Using CAN communication, it receives signal from ECM and controls power generation voltage.
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.
1. 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:
Controlled system Fail-safe mode
Headlamps
With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp low relay is ON.
With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp low relay is OFF.
Tail, parking and
license plate lamps
With the ignition switch ON, the tail lamp relay is ON.
With the ignition switch OFF, the tail lamp relay is OFF.
Cooling fan
With the ignition switch ON, the cooling fan HI operates.
With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
Front wiperUntil 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.

STEERING WHEELPFP:48430
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNGS000D8
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
Check installation conditions of steering gear assembly, front suspension assembly, axle and steering col-
umn assembly.
Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
Check steering gear assembly mounting bolts and nut for looseness. Refer to PS-18, "COMPONENTS" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
Turn steering wheel so that front wheels come to the straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn
steering wheel to the left and right until front wheels start to move. Measure steering wheel movement on
the outer circumference.
When the measurement value is outside the standard value, check backlash for each joint of steering col-
umn assembly and installation condition of steering gear assembly.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION STEERING WHEEL
Make sure that steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and steering wheel are installed in the
correct position.
Perform neutral position inspection after wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection"
(2WD), FSU-23, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" (AWD).
Set vehicle to the straight-ahead position and confirm steering wheel is in the neutral position.
Loosen outer socket lock nut and turn inner socket to left and right equally to make fine adjustments if
steering wheel is not in the neutral position.
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 176F).]
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 540
from neutral position.
NOTE:
Multiply the distance (L) from the hook of spring scale to the
center of steering wheel by the measurement value with a spring
scale.
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-29,
"CHECKING RELIEF OIL PRESSURE" .
a. Disconnect lower joint and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to PS-13, "
COMPO-
NENTS" , FAX-5, "COMPONENT" .
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steering fluid has reached normal operating temperature. Steering wheel axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Steering wheel play : 0 - 35 mm (0 - 1.38 in)
