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.

switch is turned OFF while the front wiper is operating at LO or HI speed.
• The wiper is operated at LO speed until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the fail- safe control is activated while the front wipe r is set in the INT mode and the front wiper
motor is operating.

REAR SONAR SYSTEM
FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS
REAR SONAR SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000001754056
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001754057
FUNCTION
With power and ground supplied, transmission gear selector lever in R position, and the sonar system OFF
switch ON, the rear sonar system will detect obstacles withi n 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) of the rear sonar sensors. The
vehicle operator is notified of obstacles by varied rate of tone from the rear sonar buzzer depending on dis-
tance of obstacle being sensed.
SONAR SYSTEM OFF SWITCH
With power and ground supplied to the sonar control unit, transmission gear selector lever in R position, the
sonar system can be disabled and the rear sonar buzze r silenced by momentarily pressing the sonar system
OFF switch. The sonar system OFF indicator lamp will be illuminated in the sonar system OFF switch.
The rear sonar system and buzzer will be disabled and t he sonar system OFF indicator will be illuminated until
the ignition switch is turned OFF. When the ignition switch is turned ON, the rear sonar system will be
enabled. Depressing the sonar system OFF switch again will enable the rear sonar system also. Enabling the
rear sonar system will cause the rear sonar system OFF i ndicator to go out. If the indicator light is blinking
there is a malfunction in the system.
REAR SONAR BUZZER
With power and ground supplied to the sonar control unit and the A/T selector lever in R position, a stationary
object that is at least 7.0 cm (2.8 in.) wide and 1.0 m (39. 0 in.) tall and that is closer than 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) will be
detected by the rear sonar sensors, causing the rear sonar buzzer to sound a tone. As the vehicle moves
closer to the object, the rate of the tone will increase. When the object is less than 25.0 cm (10 in.) from the
rear bumper, the tone will sound continuously.
REAR SONAR SENSORS
With power and ground supplied to the rear sonar sens ors, the sonar sensors transmit an ultrasonic signal.
This signal is reflected back to the sensor by objects large enough and close enough to be detected. The rear
sonar sensors measure the time from the transmitted si gnal to the time the signal is reflected back and sends
this information to the sonar control unit.
BACK-UP LAMP RELAY
The back-up lamp relay provides a reverse signal to the sonar control unit.

Self-Diagnosis FunctionINFOID:0000000001754060
There are four modes of self-diagnosis. Thes e modes must be followed in the following order:
1. Entering diagnostics mode
2. Requesting number of fault codes mode
3. Requesting fault codes mode
4. Clearing fault codes mode
Self-diagnosis can be manually exited by turning the igni tion OFF or selecting reverse gear. Self-diagnosis will
exit unless a fault code request occurs before a me ssage is repeated five times without acknowledgement.

The heated steering wheel switch controls the heated steeri ng relay. When the switch is turned on, the relay is
energized and the heated steering system will operate. T he heated steering system will turn off when the
steering wheel temperature reaches approximately 30 ° C (86 ° F). Heated steering system operation can also
be canceled by pressing the heated steering wheel switch again.
NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steering wheel is below 68 ° F (20 ° C), the system will heat the steering wheel,
and cycle off and on to maintain a temperature above 68 ° F (20 ° C). The indicator light will remain on as long
as the system is on. Push the switch again to turn the heated steering wheel system off manually. The indica-
tor light will go off.
