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 transient status.
2. Sleep transient 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 DescriptionNKS004E3
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 UnitNKS004E4
Refer to LAN-34, "CAN Communication Unit" .
Function of Detecting Ignition Relay MalfunctionNKS004E5
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 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.

Auto Active TestNKS004E7
DESCRIPTION
In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive signal to the
following systems:
Rear window defogger
Front wiper (LO, HI)
Tail lamps, parking lamps and license plate lamps
Front fog lamps
Headlamps (LO, HI)
A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
Cooling fan
Oil pressure warning lamp
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door (passenger side), and then lift wiper arms away from windshield (to prevent
glass damage by wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press driver's door switch 10 times (close other doors).
Then turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON within 10 seconds after ignition switch OFF.
5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once. Oil pressure warning lamp starts blinking.
6. After a series of operations is repeated three times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
Never start the engine.
If the engine starting operation is made, delete DTC on the self-diag results of CONSULT-II.
Refer to BL-81, "
CONSULT-II Application Items" .
Be sure to inspect GW-52, "Door Switch Check" when the auto active test cannot be performed.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Concept of Auto Active Test
IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it receives door switch signal from BCM via CAN commu-
nication line. Therefore, when auto active test mode is activated successfully, CAN communication
between IPDM E/R and BCM is normal.
If any of systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated, possible cause can be easily diagnosed
using auto active test.
