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.

Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
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 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 Tester (Charging)NKS003NP
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and alternator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.
Before starting, perform the preliminary inspection. Refer to SC-32, "
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION" .
1. Stop the operation of the power generation voltage variable control in either of the following procedures.
After selecting “ENGINE” of “SELECT SYSTEM” using CONSULT-II, set the DUTY value of “ALTERNA-
TOR DUTY” to 0% by selecting “ALTERNATOR DUTY” of “ACTIVE TEST”. Continue “ACTIVE TEST”
until the end of inspection. (When the DUTY value is 0 or 100%, the normal power generation is per-
formed according to the characteristic of the IC regulator of the alternator.)
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the battery current sensor connector. [However, DTC
(P1550 - P1554) of the engine might remain. After finishing the inspection, connect the battery current
sensor connector and erase the self-diagnostic results history of the engine using CONSULT-II.]
2. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
3. Perform battery and starting system test with Battery/Starting/
Charging system tester.
4. Press “ENTER” to begin the charging system test.
5. Start engine.
6. Press “ENTER” until “LOADS OFF REV ENGINE 5 SEC” is dis-
played.
7. 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.
8. The tester now checks the engine at idle and performs the
DIODE/RIPPLE check.
9. 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.

AUTO STOP OPERATION
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is provided
from IPDM E/R terminal 23
to front wiper motor terminal 3, in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 4 and 5 are connected
to IPDM E/R terminal 32
through front wiper motor terminals 4 and 5.
Then the IPDM E/R sends auto stop operation signal to BCM with CAN communication line.
When BCM receives auto stop operation signal, BCM sends wiper stop signal to IPDM E/R with CAN commu-
nication line.
IPDM E/R stops wiper motor. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the STOP position.
WAS H ER O P E R ATI O N
When wiper switch is in front wiper washer position with ignition switch ON, BCM detects front wiper washer
signal by BCM wiper switch reading function (refer to BCS-3, "
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNC-
TION" ). Combination switch ground is supplied
to front washer motor terminal 2
through combination switch terminal 14
to combination switch terminal 12
through grounds M16 and M70.
And power is supplied
through combination switch terminal 13
to front washer motor terminal 1.
With power and ground supplied, front washer motor is operated.
When BCM detects that front washer motor has operated for 0.4 seconds or longer, BCM operates front wiper
motor for low speed.
When BCM detects washer switch is OFF, low speed operation cycles approximately 2 times and stops.
MIST OPERATION
When the wiper switch is turned to the MIST position, wiper low speed operation cycles once and then stops.
For additional information about wiper operation under this condition, refer to WW-5, "
LOW SPEED WIPER
OPERATION" .
If the switch is held in the MIST position, low speed operation continues.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If an abnormality occurs in CAN communications, IPDM E/R holds the condition just before fail-safe status is
initiated until ignition switch is turned OFF. (If wipers were operating in LO just before the initiation of fail-safe
status, they continue to operate in LOW until ignition switch is turned OFF.)

COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
BCM reads combination switch (wiper) status, and controls front wipers according to the results.
BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5)
and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description
BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current to flow in turn.
If any (one or more) switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input terminals
(INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When volt-
age of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects volt-
age change, and BCM determines that the switch is ON.
BCM - Operation Table of Combination Switches
BCM reads operation status of combination switch using combinations shown in table below.
