STRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM
IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
• IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
• If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop posit ion by a front wiper auto stop signal.
When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 second activation and 20 second stop five times.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/R “DATA MONITOR” that displays “Block” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.

• All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or reassembly.
• Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transmission is disassembled.
• It is very important to perform func tional tests whenever they are indicated.
• The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced. Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent springs
and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
• Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
• Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings and
seals, or hold bearings and washers in pl ace during assembly. Do not use grease.
• Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
• Clean or replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to TM-
182, "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
• After overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.
• When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque con- verter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer to
TM-180, "
Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)".
Service Notice or PrecautionINFOID:0000000001531487
ATF COOLER SERVICE
• If A/T fluid contains fictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiat or or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines with
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. For A/T fluid cooler cleaning procedure, refer to TM-182,
"A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning". For radiator replacement, refer to CO-15, "Removal and Installation".
CHECKING AND CHANGING A/T FLUID
• Increase ATF oil temperature to 80 °C (176° F) first, then check and adjust oil level at 65 °C (149° F).
NOTE:
The A/T has both water cooling and air cooling systems. The air cooling system has a bypass valve. When
ATF oil temperature is at or below 50 °C (122° F), it does not flow through the air cooled system. If A/T oil
level is adjusted without flow throughout the entir e system, the level will be 10mm lower than required.
Therefore, all piping should be filled with oil when adjusting level.
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSIS
• A/T self-diagnosis is performed by the TCM in combination with the ECM. Refer to the table on TM-32,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)" for the indicator used to display each self-diagnostic result.
• The self-diagnostic results indicated by the MIL are automatically stored in both the ECM and TCM memo- ries.
Always perform the procedure on TM-30, "
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)" to complete the
repair and avoid unnecessary blinking of the MIL.
For details of OBD-II, refer to TM-30
.
• Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use the new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For descrip tion and how to disconnect, refer to PG-65
.

5. Allow the A/T fluid temperature to fall to approximately 65 °C (149° F). Use the CONSULT-III to monitor the
A/T fluid temperature as follows:
NOTE:
The A/T fluid level will be significantly affected by the A/T fluid temperature as shown. Therefore monitor
the A/T fluid temperature data using the CONSULT-III.
a. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MO NITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-III.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.
6. Re-check the A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of approxi-
mately 65° C (149°F) using the “HOT” range on the A/T fluid
level gauge as shown. The HOT range is between 50 ° - 80° C
(122° - 176 ° F).
CAUTION:
• When wiping the A/T fluid from the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not a cloth.
• To check the A/T fluid level, insert the A/T fluid level gauge until the cap contacts the top of the A/T fluid charg-
ing pipe, with the gauge reversed from the normal
inserted position as shown.
7. Check the A/T fluid condition. • If the A/T fluid is very dark or has some burned smell, there
may be an internal problem with the transmission. Refer to
TM-182, "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning". Flush the transmission
cooling system after repairing the transmission.
• If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmission cooler
lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repairing
the transmission.
8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
9. Tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001516601
FUNCTION
The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the in-cabin
microfilters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the
recirculation or fresh mode. The two in-cabin microfilters are located
in the front heater and cooling unit assembly. The rear heater and
cooling unit assembly only draws in air from the passenger compart-
ment to recirculate into the passenger compartment, so the rear
heater and cooling unit assembly is not equipped with in-cabin
microfilters.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two in-cabin microfilters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving
conditions. Refer to MA-8, "
Introduction of Periodic Maintenance". It may also be necessary to replace the two
in-cabin microfilters as part of a component r eplacement if the in-cabin microfilters are damaged.
