ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
NOTE:
When checking the engine oil level, insert oil level gauge with its
tip aligned with oil level gauge guide on cylinder head. (In figure,
air cleaner case and air duct are removed.)
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

Balancing Wheels (Bonding Weight Type)NLS0006T
REMOVAL
1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel. CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel. CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight. Oil grade and Viscosity:

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 —
