CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette
smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the
leaking refrigerant is not dispersed.
1. Turn engine OFF.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi) above 16°C. If
less than specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with the specified amount of refriger-
ant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16°C, leaks may not be detected since the system may not reach 345 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet f) to the
low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose g to shaft seal k). Refer to MTC-82, "
Components" . Perform a
leak check for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be checked and move the leak
detected probe completely around the connection/component.

Compressor
Check the fitting of high- and low-pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.

Condenser
Check the fitting of high-pressure flexible hose and pipe, refrigerant pressure sensor.

Liquid tank
Check the refrigerant connection.

Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the service valves (to
prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to prevent
any false readings by leak detector.

Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on “High” for at least 15 seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in
the cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with
water or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of suspected
leak, then repeat check as outlined above.
6. Do not stop when one leak is found. Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7-10.
7. Start engine.
8. Set the heater A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON
b. Mode control dial position: VENT (Ventilation)
c. Intake door lever position: Recirculation
d. Max. cold temperature
e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionEKS00JLJ

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 relays via IPDM E/R control cir-
cuits.

IPDM E/R-integrated control circuits perform ON-OFF operation of relays, CAN communication control, oil
pressure switch signal reception, etc.

It controls operation of each electrical component 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 lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the following lamps:

Headlamps (High, Low)

Parking lamps

Tail and license plate lamps

Front fog lamps
2. Wiper control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the rear window defogger
relay.
4. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the A/C compressor
(magnet clutch).
5. Starter control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the starter relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the ECM and controls the cooling fan relays.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the horn relay.
8. Daytime light system control (Canada only)
Using CAN communication lines, it receives signals from the BCM and controls the daytime light 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 a 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 returns to normal operation, 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, headlamp low relay is ON, headlamp high relays are OFF,
and daytime light system (Canada only) is OFF.

With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp relays are OFF.
Tail, license plate and parking lamps

With the ignition switch ON, the tail lamp relay is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the tail lamp relay is OFF.
Cooling fan

With the ignition switch ON, cooling fan relay-1, relay-2, and relay-3 are ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, all cooling fan relays are OFF.
Front wiperUntil the ignition switch is turned off, the front wiper relays remain in the same status they
were in just before fail−safe control was initiated.

Auto Active TestEKS00JLN
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 wipers
–Tail, license and parking lamps
–Daytime lamp system (Canada only)
–Front fog lamps
–Headlamps (High, Low)
–A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
–Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door RH, and 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 front door switch LH 20 times. 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.
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:
Be sure to perform BL-40, "
Door Switch Check" when the auto active test cannot be performed.
Cooling fan output MOTOR FANWith a certain operation (1, 2, 3, 4), the cooling fan relays can be oper-
ated.
Horn output HORN With a certain ON-OFF operation, the horn relay can be operated.Test name CONSULT-II screen display Description

INSPECTION IN AUTO ACTIVE TEST MODE
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following six steps are repeated three times.
(A): Oil pressure warning lamp is blinking when the auto active test is operating.
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.
