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 volt age 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 malfunc tion when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
FRONT WIPER PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop position by a front wiper stop position signal.
When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditi ons listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop.
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.

erating.

U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006220176
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication
line for real time applications. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Modern
vehicle is equipped with many electronic control unit, and each control unit shares information and links with
other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected
with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) al lowing a high rate of information transmission with less
wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication Signal Chart. Refer to LAN-28, "
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : CAN Communica-
tion Signal Chart".

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORK FLOW
1.GET INFORMATION ABOUT SYMPTOM
Get detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when the
incident/malfunction occurs).
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK DTC
1. Check DTC for BCM and IPDM E/R.
2. Perform the following procedure if DTC is displayed.
- Record DTC and freeze frame data (Pri nt them out with CONSULT-III.)
- Erase DTC.
- Study the relationship between the cause detected by DTC and the symptom described by the customer.
3. Check related service bulletins for information.
Are any symptoms described and any DTC detected?
Symptom is described, DTC is displayed>>GO TO 3.
Symptom is described, DTC is not displayed>>GO TO 4.
Symptom is not described, DTC is displayed>>GO TO 5.
3.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Confirm the symptom described by the customer.
Connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle in the “DATA MO NITOR” mode and check real time diagnosis results.
Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 5.
4.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Confirm the symptom described by the customer.
Connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle in the “DATA MO NITOR ” mode and check real time diagnosis results.
Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 6.
5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
Perform DTC Confirmation Procedure for the display ed DTC, and then check that DTC is detected again.
At this time, always connect CONSULT-III to the vehicle, and check diagnostic results in real time.
If two or more DTCs are detected, refer to BCS-56, "
DTCInspectionPriorityChart", and determine trouble
diagnosis order.
NOTE:
Perform Component Function Check if DTC Confirmati on Procedure is not included in Service Manual. This
simplified check procedure is an effective alternativ e, although DTC cannot be detected during this check.
If the result of Component Function Check is NG, it is the same as the detection of DTC by DTC Confirmation
Procedure.
Is DTC detected?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> Refer to GI-40, "
Intermittent Incident".
6.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM BY SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Detect malfunctioning system according to SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS based on the confirmed symptom in step
4, and determine the trouble diagnosis order based on possible causes and symptom.
>> GO TO 7.
7.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART BY DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
Inspect according to Diagnostic Procedure of the system.
NOTE:
The Diagnostic Procedure described based on open circuit inspection. A short circuit inspection is also
required for the circuit check in the Diagnostic Procedure.

FAIL-SAFE CONTROL
Switches to fail-safe control when malfunction is detected in encoder signal that detects up/down speed and
direction of door glass. Switches to fail-safe control when a signal that is out of the specified value is detected
between the fully closed position and the actual position of the glass.
If fail-safe control, the system changes to a non-init ialized condition and the following function do not operate.
 Auto-up operation
 Anti-pinch function
 Retained power function
When fail-safe control is activated, perform initialization procedure to reco ver. If a malfunction is detected in
power window switch or more, fail -safe control is activated again.
Malfunction Malfunction condition
Pulse sensor malfunction When one pulse signal that is the specified value or more is detected continuously for the specified
time or more, while door glass is being operated UP or DOWN.
Both pulse sensors mal-
function When both pulse signals are not detected continuously for the specified time or more, while door
glass is being operated UP or DOWN.
Pulse direction malfunc-
tion When a pulse signal indicating that window is moving in the opposite direction against the power win-
dow motor is detected for the specified value or more, while door glass is being operated UP or
DOWN.
Glass recognition position
malfunction 1 When the actual door glass position that is out of specified value is detected compared to the door
glass fully closed position memorized in module, while door glass is being operated UP or DOWN.
Glass recognition position
malfunction 2 When pulse count that is out of the door glass full stroke value or more is detected, while door glass
is being operated UP or DOWN.
