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
IPDM E/R receives a request signal from each control unit with CAN communication. It controls each system.
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:
Control system Transmit control unit Control part
Lamp control BCM
Headlamps (HI, LO)
Front fog lamps
Parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps
Wiper control BCM Front wipers
Rear window defogger control BCM Rear window defogger
A/C compressor control ECM A/C compressor (magnet clutch)
Cooling fan control ECM Cooling fan
Horn control BCM Horn
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 OFF
A/C compressor A/C compressor OFF
Front fog lamps Front fog lamp relay OFF

Revision: 2006 July 2007 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-49, "CAN System Specification Chart" .
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

Auto Active TestNKS003GG
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
Parking, license plate, side marker and tail lamps
Front fog lamps
Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
Cooling fan
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 drivers 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:
Be sure to inspect BL-40, "
Check Door Switch" when the auto active test cannot be performed.

INSPECTION IN AUTO ACTIVE TEST MODE
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following eight steps are repeated three times.
NOTE:
Turns ON-OFF the solenoid to switch Hi/Lo. In this case, the bulb does not illuminate.
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.
