6. Allow the ATF temperature to fall to approximately 65°C (149 °F). Use the CONSULT-II to monitor the ATF
temperature as follows:
NOTE:
ATF level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown. Therefore monitor the ATF temperature data
using the CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS ” in “DATA MONITOR ” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
7. Re-check the ATF level at ATF temperatures of approximately 65°C (149 °F) using the “HOT ” range on the ATF level gauge as
shown.
CAUTION:

When wiping the ATF from the ATF level gauge, always
use lint-free paper, not a cloth.

To check the ATF level, insert the ATF level gauge until
the cap contacts the top of the charging pipe, with the
gauge reversed from the normal inserted position as
shown.
8. Check the ATF condition.

If the ATF is very dark or has some burned smell, there may be an internal problem with the transmis-
sion. Refer to AT- 4 2 , "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" . Flush the transmission cooling system after repairing
the transmission.

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.
