IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionAKS005S9

IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine room. It controls integrated relay via IPDM E/R control circuit.

IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal, hood switch signal reception, etc.

It controls operation of each electrical part 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 line, it receives signal from BCM and controls the following lamps:

Headlamps (Hi, Lo)

Parking lamps

Tail lamps

Front fog lamps
2. Wiper control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from BCM and controls the rear window defogger
relay.
4. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from ECM and controls the A/C relay.
5. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from ECM and controls cooling fan relay.
6. Horn control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from BCM and controls 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 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 recovers normally, 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 is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the tail and parking lamps is 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.
Rear window defogger Rear window defogger relay OFF
A/C compressor A/C compressor OFF
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp relay OFF

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 seconds have elapsed after CAN communi-
cation 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 line is detected, mode switches to CAN communication status.

When a change hood switch or ignition switch signal is detected, mode switches to CAN communica-
tion status.
CAN Communication System DescriptionAKS005SA
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Modern
vehicles are equipped with many electronic control units and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitAKS00AOF
Refer to LAN-6, "CAN Communication Unit" .
Function of Detecting Ignition Relay MalfunctionAKS005SB

When contact point of integrated ignition relay is stuck and cannot be turned OFF, IPDM E/R turns ON tail
and parking lamps for 10 minutes to indicate IPDM E/R malfunction.

When a state of ignition relay having built-in does not agree with a state of Ignition switch signal input by a
CAN communication from BCM, IPDM E/R lets tail lamp relay operate.
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the tail lamp is OFF.

CONSULT-IIAKS005SC
CONSULT-II performs the following functions with combination of data receiving, command and transmission
using the CAN communication line from the IPDM E/R.
CONSULT-II INSPECTION PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
AGS000GO
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery DisconnectAGS000L4
NOTE:

This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).

Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition knob in the
″LOCK″ position.

Always use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing
work. If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS, an electrically controlled steering lock
mechanism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-II.
Precautions for Steering SystemAGS000GP

Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.

Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becom-
ing contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.
