ILLUMINATIONPFP:27545
System DescriptionNKS002Z2
Control of illumination lamps operation is dependent upon position of lighting switch (combination switch).
When lighting switch is placed in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated), BCM (body con-
trol module) receives input signal requesting illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communi-
cated to IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) through the CAN communication lines.
The CPU (central processing unit) located in the IPDM E/R controls tail lamp relay coil. This relay, when ener-
gized, directs power to illumination lamps, which then illuminate.
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse (No. 71, located in IPDM E/R)

to tail lamp relay, located in IPDM E/R, and

to CPU located in IPDM E/R.
Power is also supplied at all times

through 50A fusible link (letter M, located in fuse, fusible link and relay box)

to BCM terminal 55,

through 15A fuse [No. 22 located in fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM terminal 42,

through 15A fuse (No. 78, located in IPDM E/R)

to CPU located in IPDM E/R,

through 10A fuse [No. 19 located in fuse block (J/B)]

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 21, and

to combination meter terminal 8.
With ignition switch in ON or START position, power is supplied

to ignition relay, located in IPDM E/R, from battery direct,

through 15A fuse [No. 1 located in fuse block (J/B)]

to BCM terminal 38,

through 10A fuse [No. 12, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminal 22,

to combination meter terminal 7.
With ignition switch in ACC or ON position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 6, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to combination meter terminal 4 and

to BCM terminal 11.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminals 49 and 52

to unified meter and A/C amp. terminals 29 and 30, and

ILLUMINATION OPERATION BY LIGHTING SWITCH
With lighting switch in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated), BCM receives input signal
requesting illumination lamps to illuminate. This input signal is communicated to IPDM E/R through the CAN
communication lines. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls tail lamp relay coil, which, when energized,
directs power

EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
When the lighting switch is in the 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated), and ignition switch
is turned from ON or ACC to OFF, battery saver control function is activated.
Under this condition, illumination lamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes, then illumination lamps are turned
off.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST or 2ND position (or if auto light system is activated) after
illumination lamps are turned off by battery saver control, and illumination lamps illuminate again.
Exterior lamp battery saver control mode can be changed by the function setting of CONSULT-II.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionNKS003GB

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 relay via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuit.

IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal, and 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, license plate, side marker and 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 compressor.
5. Cooling fan control Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from ECM and controls cooling fan.
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.
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.
Parking, license plate side marker and
tail lamps

With the ignition switch ON, the parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the parking, license plate, side marker and tail 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 wiper Until 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 is OFF
A/C compressor A/C compressor is OFF
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp is OFF

Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
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 3 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 power 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 DescriptionNKS003GC
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 UnitNKS003GD
Refer to LAN-32, "CAN Communication Unit" .
Function of Detecting Ignition Relay MalfunctionNKS003GE

When contact point of integrated ignition relay is stuck and cannot be turned OFF, IPDM E/R turns ON
parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps for 10 minutes to indicate ignition relay 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 lamps are OFF. Ignition switch signal Ignition relay status Tail lamp relay

OFF OFF — ON OFF —
