5. Drive the vehicle to increase the ATF temperature to 80° C (176° F).
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 3
. Flush the transmission cooling system after repairing the transmission.
• If the ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmis-
sion cooler lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repairing the transmission.
9. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and install the level gauge bolt.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003533835
• 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 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.

A/C compressor A/C compressor OFF
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp relay OFF

tion, display may not be correct.

ACTIVE TEST
Auto Active TestINFOID:0000000003533839
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-25, "
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.
Concept of Auto Active Test
• IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it receives door switch signal from BCM via CAN communi-
cation 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.
