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

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 LH/RH relays 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.

THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP DOES NOT TURN ON
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146119
The oil pressure warning lamp stays off when the ignition switch is turned ON.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146120
1.CHECK OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
Perform IPDM E/R auto active test. Refer to PCS-12, "
Diagnosis Description".
Is oil pressure warning lamp illuminated?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-100, "
Removal and Installation".
2.CHECK OIL PRESSURE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Check the oil pressure switch signal circuit. Refer to MWI-34, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK OIL PRESSURE SWITCH UNIT
Perform a unit check for the oil pressure switch. Refer to MWI-34, "
Component Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to PCS-35, "Removal and Installation of IPDM E/R".
NO >> Replace oil pressure switch.

Diagnosis Description".
Is oil pressure warning lamp illuminated?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-100, "
Removal and Installation".
2.CHECK IPDM E/R OUTPUT VOLTAGE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check voltage between the oil pressure switch harness connec- tor F4 terminal 1 and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> GO TO 4
3.CHECK OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
Perform a unit check for the oil pressure switch. Refer to MWI-34, "
Component Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to PCS-35, "Removal and Installation of IPDM E/R".
NO >> Replace oil pressure switch.
4.CHECK OIL PRESSURE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Check the oil pressure switch signal circuit. Refer to MWI-34, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to PCS-35, "Removal and Installation of IPDM E/R".
NO >> Repair harness or connector. 1 – Ground

AUTO ACTIVE TEST
Description
In auto active test mode, the IPDM
E/R sends a drive signal to the follo wing systems to check their operation.
• Oil pressure low/coolant pressure high warning indicator
• Oil pressure gauge
• Rear window defogger
• Front wipers
• Tail, license and parking lamps
• Front fog lamps
• Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
• A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
• Cooling fan
Operation Procedure
1. Close the hood and front door RH, and lift the wiper a rms from the windshield (to prevent windshield dam-
age due to wiper operation).
NOTE:
When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield before hand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and, within 20 seconds, press the front door switch LH 10 times. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON within 10 seconds. Af ter that the horn sounds once and the auto active test
starts.
5. After a series of the following operations is repeated 3 times, auto active test is completed.
NOTE:
When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway through test, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION:
• If auto active test mode cannot be actuated, check door switch system. Refer to DLK-71, "
Descrip-
tion".
• Do not start the engine.
Inspection in Auto Active Test Mode
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following 7 steps are repeated 3 times.

Concept of auto active test
• IPDM E/R starts the auto active test with the door
switch signals transmitted by BCM via CAN communica-
tion. Therefore, the CAN communication line between IPDM E/R and BCM is considered normal if the auto
active test starts successfully.
• The auto active test facilitates troubleshooting if any systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated.

4 Front fog lamps 10 seconds
5 Headlamps LO for 10 seconds → HI on-off for 5 seconds
