CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
When CAN communication with ECM and BCM is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-s afe control. After CAN
communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.

IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
If No CAN Communication Is Available With BCM
IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
• IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
• IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the voltage differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
• If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to alert the user to the ignition relay malfunction when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
NOTE:
The tail lamp turns OFF when the ignition switch is turned ON.
FRONT WIPER CONTROL
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop posit ion by a front wiper auto stop signal.
When a front wiper auto stop signal is in the conditions listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 second activation and 20 second stop five times.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/R “DATA MONITOR” that displays “Block” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.
Control part Fail-safe in operation
Cooling fan • Turns ON the cooling fan relay when the ignition switch is turned ON
• Turns OFF the cooling fan relay when the ignition switch is turned OFF

Fail-safe in operation
Headlamp • Turns ON the headlamp low relay when the ignition switch is turned ON
• Turns OFF the headlamp low relay when the ignition switch is turned OFF
• Headlamp high relay OFF
•Parking lamps
• License plate lamps
• Tail lamps • Turns ON the tail lamp relay when the ignition switch is turned ON
• Turns OFF the tail lamp relay when the ignition switch is turned OFF
Front wiper • The status just before activation of fail-safe control is maintained until the ignition
switch is turned OFF while the front wiper is operating at LO or HI speed.
• The wiper is operated at LO speed until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the fail- safe control is activated while the front wipe r is set in the INT mode and the front wiper
motor is operating.

PEDAL STROKE
• When parking brake pedal is operated with the specified forc e, make sure the stroke is within the specified
number of notches. Check by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.
INSPECTION
• Make sure the components are attached pr operly, checking for looseness or backlash.
• Check parking brake pedal assembly for bends, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.
• Check cable for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.
• Check parking brake warning lamp switch for malfunction, and replace if necessary. Refer to BCS-36, "
Diag-
nosis Procedure".
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the lower instrument panel LH. Refer to IP-15, "Exploded View".
2. Partially engage parking brake pedal to access adjusting nut.
3. Insert a deep socket wrench to rotate adjusting nut and loosen cable sufficiently. Then, disengage the parking brake pedal.
4. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
5. Remove the disc rotor and measure inner diameter at widest point using suitable tool.
6. Transfer measurement less 0.6 mm (0.024 in) to the parking brake shoes and adjust accordingly.
7. Using wheel nuts, secure the disc rotor to the hub to prevent it from tilting.
8. Rotate the disc rotor to make sure there is no drag.
9. Adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate pedal 10 or more times with a force of 490 N (50 kg-f, 110 lb-f).
b. Rotate adjusting nut with deep socket to adjust pedal stroke to specification.
c. With parking brake pedal completely disengaged, make sure there is no drag on the parking brake.
10. Install the disc rotor.
11. Install the wheel and tire using power tool. Pedal stroke : Refer to
PB-12, "
Parking Brake Control".
