IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
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
