Zone Variation Setting ProcedureNKS004F5
NOTE:
The zone setting is factory preset (“default” setting) to zone 8.
1. Press and hold the compass switch for 3 – 9 seconds.
2. The current zone setting appears on the compass display.
3. Find the current geographical location number in the Zone Varia-
tion Chart.
4. Select the new zone number. (Press the compass switch until
the new zone number appears on the compass display.)
5. After select the new zone number, the compass display will
automatically shows a direction within a few seconds.
6. Preform the following Calibration Procedure for more accurate
indications.
Calibration ProcedureNKS004F6
NOTE:
The compass calibrates itself under normal driving conditions. However, occasional circumstances may cause
the compass to operate inaccurately. Example: Driving from rural (wide open) areas to crowded city areas, or
if an aftermarket (i.e., non original equipment) antenna with a magnetic base is attached to the vehicle. Cali-
brate the mirror compass if the display shows only one direction or a limited number of directions.
NOTE:

If “magnetic hats” are used in the dealership for vehicle identification, remove the hat from the vehicle
before performing the following steps. Do NOT put the hat back on the vehicle after the procedure is com-
pleted.

Drive the vehicle to an open level area; away from large metallic objects, structures, and overhead power
lines.

Turn off “non-essential” electrical accessories (rear window defrost, heater/air conditioning, wipers) and
close the doors.
1. Verify the correct compass zone setting for the geographical location. Refer to DI-104, "
Zone Variation
Setting Procedure" .
2. Press and hold the compass switch for more than 9 seconds.
3. “C” is displayed on the compass display, when calibration starts.
4. Drive slowly [less than 8 km/h (5 mph)] in a circle until the “C / CAL” is replaced with primary headings (N,
NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW).
NOTE:
This will require driving at least 2 complete 360 degree circles; 3 complete circles may be required.
5. The compass calibration procedure is now complete. The compass should operate normally.
NOTE:
If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked,
repeat the calibration procedure.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
PFP:284B7
System DescriptionNKS004E2

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 and
oil pressure 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, it receives signal from BCM and controls the following lamps:

Headlamps (HI, LO)

Tail, parking and license plate lamps

Front fog lamps
2. Daytime light relay control (for Canada models)
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the daytime light relay.
3. Wiper control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the front wipers.
4. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls the rear window defogger relay.
5. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls the A/C relay.
6. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from ECM and controls cooling fan via cooling fan control
module.
7. Horn control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls horn relay.
8. Starter motor relay control
Using CAN communication, it receives signals from BCM and controls starter motor relay.
9. Alternator control
Using CAN communication, it receives signal from ECM and controls power generation voltage.
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.
1. 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
Headlamps

With the ignition switch ON, the headlamp low relay is ON.

With the ignition switch OFF, the headlamp low relay is OFF.
Tail, parking and
license plate 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, the cooling fan HI operates.

With the ignition switch OFF, the cooling fan stops.
Front wiperUntil 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.

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.

Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
AUTO STOP OPERATION
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is provided

from IPDM E/R terminal 23

to front wiper motor terminal 3, in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 4 and 5 are connected

to IPDM E/R terminal 32

through front wiper motor terminals 4 and 5.
Then the IPDM E/R sends auto stop operation signal to BCM with CAN communication line.
When BCM receives auto stop operation signal, BCM sends wiper stop signal to IPDM E/R with CAN commu-
nication line.
IPDM E/R stops wiper motor. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the STOP position.
WASHER OPERATION
When wiper switch is in front wiper washer position with ignition switch ON, BCM detects front wiper washer
signal by BCM wiper switch reading function (refer to BCS-3, "
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNC-
TION" ). Combination switch ground is supplied

to front washer pump terminal 2

through combination switch terminal 14

to combination switch terminal 12

through grounds M16 and M70.
With power and ground supplied, front washer pump is operated.
When BCM detects that front washer pump has operated for 0.4 seconds or longer, BCM operates front wiper
motor for low speed.
When BCM detects washer switch is OFF, low speed operation cycles approximately 2 times and stops.
MIST OPERATION
When the wiper switch is turned to the MIST position, wiper low speed operation cycles once and then stops.
For additional information about wiper operation under this condition, refer to WW-5, "
LOW SPEED WIPER
OPERATION" .
If the switch is held in the MIST position, low speed operation continues.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If an abnormality occurs in CAN communications, IPDM E/R holds the condition just before fail-safe status is
initiated until ignition switch is turned OFF. (If wipers were operating in LO just before the initiation of fail-safe
status, they continue to operate in LOW until ignition switch is turned OFF.)

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description

BCM reads combination switch (wiper) status, and controls front wipers according to the results.

BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5)
and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description

BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current to flow in turn.

If any (one or more) switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input terminals
(INPUT 1-5) becomes active.

At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When volt-
age of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects volt-
age change, and BCM determines that the switch is ON.
BCM - Operation Table of Combination Switches

BCM reads operation status of combination switch using combinations shown in table below.
