IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE
ROOM)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328870
 IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engi ne Room) integrates the relay box and fuse block
which were originally placed in engine compartment. It c ontrols integrated relay via IPDM E/R control circuit.
 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 pa rt via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION:
None of the IPDM E/R-integr ated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R receives a request signal fr om each control unit with CAN communication. It controls each system.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control uni t using two communication lines (CAN-L line, CAN-H
line), it is possible to transmit maximum amount of in formation 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 impos sible, 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:
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.

 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.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
 All systems controlled by IPDM E/R are stopped. When 3 seconds have elapsed after CAN communica-
tion with other control units is st opped, 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 communication
status.
CAN Communication System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328871
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/recei ves data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication UnitINFOID:0000000001328872
Refer to LAN-43, "CAN System Specification Chart".
Function of Detecting I gnition Relay MalfunctionINFOID:0000000001328873
 When contact point of integrated ignition relay is st uck and cannot be turned OFF, IPDM E/R turns ON park-
ing, 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 agr ee 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.
CONSULT-III Function (IPDM E/R)INFOID:0000000001328874

Concept of Auto Active Test
 IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it re ceives door switch signal from BCM via CAN communi-
cation 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.

CHARGING SYSTEM
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001328254
The alternator provides DC voltage to operate the vehi cle's electrical system and to keep the battery charged.
The voltage output is controlled by the IC regulator.
Power is supplied at all times
 through 10A fuse (No. 33, located in the fuse and fusible link block)
 to alternator terminal 4 (“S” terminal).
“B” Terminal supplies power to charge the battery and oper ate the vehicle's electrical system. Output voltage
is controlled by the IC regulator at terminal 4 (“S” terminal) detecting the input voltage.
The charging circuit is protected by the 120A fusible link (VK45DE and VQ35DE AWD).
The alternator is grounded to the engine block.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied
 through 10A fuse [No. 14, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
 to combination meter terminal 7 for the charge warning lamp.
Ground is supplied
 to combination meter terminal 2
 through alternator terminal 3 (“L” terminal)
 to alternator terminal 2 (“E” terminal) (VK45DE) or through case ground (VQ35DE)
 through ground E304 (VK45DE).
With power and ground supplied, the charge warning lamp will illuminate. When the alternator is providing suf-
ficient voltage with the engine running, the ground is opened and the charge warning lamp will go off.
If the charge warning lamp illuminates with the engine running, a malfunction is indicated.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
The IC regulator warning function activates to illumi nate charge warning lamp, if any of the following symp-
toms occur while alternator is operating:
 Excessive voltage is produced.
 No voltage is produced.
