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-50, "CAN System Specification Chart" .
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.

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
PDU (POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT)PFP:285F1
Component Parts and Harness Connector LocationNKS004ED
System DescriptionNKS004EE

PDU (Power Distribution Unit) is the unit that executes the power distribution with the control signal from
the Intelligent Key unit, instead of the mechanical power supply mechanism by conventional key cylinder.

The push-button ignition switch is operable when the Intelligent Key is within the detention area of the
interior antenna or is inserted to the key slot.

The push-button ignition switch operation is input to the Intelligent Key unit as a request signal. Then, the
Intelligent Key unit processes the request signal and orders the PDU to switch into the appropriate power
supply position.
NOTE:
The prerequisite for starting the engine varies by the state of brake pedal, A/T selector lever, and vehicle
speed.

PDU distributes power to each power supply circuit according to the request signal received.

The power supply position can be confirmed by illumination of the indicators in the upper surroundings of
the push-button ignition switch.
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATING PROCEDURE
The power supply position switching operation can be performed by the following operation.
NOTE:

When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside antenna and when it is inserted to the key
slot, it is equivalent to the operations below.

When starting the engine, the Intelligent Key unit monitors the engine start conditions (brake pedal operat-
ing condition, A/T selector lever position, and vehicle speed).
