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.

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.

Trouble Diagnoses with Battery/Starting/Charging System TesterEKS00IB5
NOTE:
To ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery, starter and generator test segments must be done
as a set from start to finish.
1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system.
2. Perform battery and starting system test with Battery/Starting/
Charging system tester.
3. Press “ENTER” to begin the charging system test.
4. Start engine.
5. Press “ENTER” until “LOADS OFF REV ENGINE 5 SEC” is dis-
played.
6. Raise and hold the engine speed at 1,500 to 2,000 rpm for about
5 seconds, then return the engine to idle.
Once the increase in engine rpm is detected, press “ENTER” to
continue.
NOTE:

If after 30 seconds an increase in engine idle speed is not
detected, “RPM NOT DETECTED” will display.

Some engines may have a higher idle initially after starting,
particularly when the engine is cold. The tester may detect
this without any other action being taken. If this occurs, con-
tinue on with the testing process. The final results will not be affected.
7. The tester now checks the engine at idle and performs the
DIODE/RIPPLE check.
8. When complete, the tester will prompt you to turn on the follow-
ing electrical loads.

Heater fan set to highest speed. Do not run the A/C or wind-
shield defroster.

to front wiper relay (located in IPDM E/R), and

to front wiper high relay (located in IPDM E/R) and

to CPU (located in IPDM E/R),

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

to BCM terminal 38,

through 15A fuse [No. 4, located in fuse block (J/B)]

to combination switch terminal 14.
Ground is supplied

to IPDM E/R terminals 39 and 59 and

to front wiper motor terminal 2

through grounds E15 and E24,

to BCM terminal 67

to combination switch terminal 12

through grounds M57 and M61.
LOW SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When the front wiper switch is in LO position, the BCM detects the low speed wiper ON signal by means of the
BCM wiper switch reading function.
The BCM sends a front wiper request signal (LO) through the CAN communication line

from BCM terminals 39 and 40

to IPDM E/R terminals 40 and 41.
When the IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (LO), it turns ON front wiper relay, located in IPDM E/
R, power is supplied

through IPDM E/R terminal 33 and front wiper high relay and front wiper relay

to front wiper motor terminal 3.
Ground is supplied

to front wiper motor terminal 2

through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground is supplied, front wiper motor operates at low speed.
HIGH SPEED WIPER OPERATION
When the front wiper switch is in HI position, the BCM detects a high speed wiper ON signal by means of the
BCM wiper switch reading function.
The BCM sends a front wiper request signal (HI) through the CAN communication line

from BCM terminals 39 and 40

to IPDM E/R terminals 40 and 41.
When the IPDM E/R receives front wiper request signal (HI), it turns ON front wiper relay and front wiper high
relay, located in IPDM E/R, power is supplied

through IPDM E/R terminal 32

to front wiper motor terminal 5.
Ground is supplied

to front wiper motor terminal 2

through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground is supplied, front wiper motor operates at high speed.
INTERMITTENT OPERATION
Wiper intermittent operation delay interval is determined from the intermittent wiper dial position inputs. During
each intermittent operation delay interval, the BCM sends a front wiper request signal to the IPDM E/R to
operate the wipers.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, and the front wiper switch is turned to the intermittent
position, the BCM detects a front wiper (intermittent) ON signal by means of the BCM wiper switch reading
function.
BCM then sends front wiper (intermittent) request signal through the CAN communication lines
