Gauge indication Refrigerant cycle Probable cause Corrective action
Low-pressure side becomes nega-
tive.
Liquid tank or front/rear side of
expansion valve’s pipe is frost-
ed or dewed.High-pressure side is closed
and refrigerant does not flow.
↓
Expansion valve or liquid tank
is frosted.Leave the system at rest until
no frost is present. Start it
again to check whether or not
the malfunction is caused by
water or foreign particles.
• If water is the cause, initially
cooling is okay. Then the wa-
ter freezes causing a block-
age. Drain water from
refrigerant or replace refrig-
erant.
• If due to foreign particles, re-
move expansion valve and
remove the particles with dry
and compressed air (not
shop air).
• If either of the above meth-
ods cannot correct the mal-
function, replace expansion

Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to
prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent any
false readings by leak detector.
• Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in
the cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with water
or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7-10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Mode control dial position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door lever position: Recirculation
d. Max. cold temperature
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps 4
through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after stopping
the engine. Begin with the leak detector at the compressor. The
pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after
refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure
side will gradually rise, as shown in the graph. Some leaks are
more easily detected when pressure is high.
11. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle,
check recovery/recycling equipment gauges. No refrigerant
pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover
refrigerant from equipment lines.
12. Discharge A/C system using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Repair the leaking fitting
or component if necessary.
13. Evacuate and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks.
14. Perform A/C performance test to ensure system works properly.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001704697
• 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, oil
pressure switch signal reception, 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 (High, Low)
• Parking lamps
• Tail and license plate 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
(magnet 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.
8. Daytime light system control (Canada only)
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the daytime light 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, headlamp low relay is ON, headlamp high relays are OFF, and
daytime light system (Canada only) is OFF.
• With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp relays are OFF.
Tail, license plate and parking 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, cooling fan relay-1, relay-2, and relay-3 are ON.
• With the ignition switch OFF, all cooling fan relays are OFF.
Front wiperUntil the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper relays remain in the same status they
were in just before fail−safe control was initiated.

IPDM E/R STATUS CONTROL
In order to save power, IPDM E/R switches status by itself based on each operating condition.
1. CAN communication status
• CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
• Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.
• When sleep request signal is received from BCM, mode is switched to sleep waiting status.
2. Sleep waiting status
• Process to stop CAN communication is activated.
• All systems controlled by IPDM E/R are stopped. When 1 second has elapsed after CAN communica-
tion with other control units is stopped, mode switches to sleep status.
3. Sleep status
• IPDM E/R operates in low current-consumption mode.
• CAN communication is stopped.
• When a change in CAN communication signal is detected, mode switches to CAN communication sta-
tus.
• When a change in ignition switch signal is detected, mode switches to CAN communication status.
CAN Communication System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001704698
Refer to LAN-6, "System Description".
Function of Detecting Ignition Relay MalfunctionINFOID:0000000001704699
• When the integrated ignition relay is stuck in a "closed contact" position and cannot be turned OFF, IPDM E/
R turns ON tail and parking lamps for 10 minutes to indicate IPDM E/R malfunction.
• When the state of the integrated ignition relay does not agree with the state of the ignition switch signal
received via CAN communication, the IPDM E/R activates the tail lamp relay.
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the tail lamps are OFF.

P 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.
